So who needs a cat?
This morning a couple of the dogs were sniffing around one of the cabinets and I got a bit nervous since one never knows what animal might be lurking and exciting the mutts.
With the help of a flashlight I saw that it was a mouse hiding behind the cabinet and I relaxed. Mice are pretty smart critters and good survivors.
So I put it out of my mind and went about my daily doings till I heard a scuttle and checked out the cause.
The mouse had taken a chance trying to escape and Priscilla had caught it. I know because she was prancing around the house with the mouse in her mouth, the little tail hanging down on one side.
And she took her trophy outside where she eventually got bored with it and left it for the other mutts to play with.
It ended up on my front steps, guarded by one of the mutts. A small, wet and very dead rodent.
So who needs cats when the dogs will kill rodents just as well.
