Yesterday I mowed hay all afternoon. My Pinker (about 20 lbs now) discovered stunned and disoriented field mice abound in the mowed hay. I saw him eat 10-but suspect he ate twice that many. They were fat, sleek mice, some as big as small rats.
No vomiting, no diarrhea. These mice were consumed completely, heads, GI tract, fur -- the whole thing. He's a little dog.
He feels great, normal stool -- he's out there looking for more!

Hehe. Raw diet. Still WARM raw diet.
There was a movie many years ago about a scientist (Richard Dreyfuss) who flew into Alaska to study wolves. After he observed the wolves for awhile, he saw that they were living on mice. The scientist decided to simulate the diet - so he started eating mice himself - buy themselves - on a saltine cracker - with an olive on top. It was hilarious.
A dog has alot of friends because he wags his tail instead of his mouth.

Teenage boys... bottomless pits for food!
Reminds me,
I was walking Oscar a few years ago in a freshly mowed field in VT, fully distracted by the serenity and loveliness of the evening (camera to my face) I didn't notice him stop and burry his head in a pile of hay. I did notice when he didn't move for some time, so I went to check out what had his attention. Unfortunately, those haying machines can bowl over wildlife a lot larger than mice... Oscar had found a beautiful little fawn - looked not a few days old - that had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have no idea how much of it Oscar consumed, I was way more bothered by the scene...
I'm locking him in the house for this afternoon's mowing session. The last mouse he tortured a long time, like a cat-the poor mouse was jumping at him, trying to defend itself. He ate it as I jumped off the tractor, "THATS ENOUGH OF THAT!" My last ACD was less cruel.
Some things about dogs are shockingly uncivilized.
I have three cats ....and Widget, my 7 yr old Brussels Griffon who breaks the scales at 12#s got into the garage (through the cat door) long enough to come in with a rat. We are now blocking the cat door and the cats can ask to come and go. There is apparently a bit of terrier in Brussels.

Last week my corgi caught and ate a squirrel (well, she ate about half of it before I found her with it). I suppose if nothing else it's nice to know she's fit enough to catch a squirrel, and that she knows she's a dog.
