Give her some credit
Nov. 26th, 2007 11:30 amOne thing that Joey is really good at - hasing a mouse.
She doesn't kill them, at least not outright. She just has them. I think she must realize that if she killed them, she wouldn't be able to drop them and watch them try in vain to scurry away. But they eventually do die, skin unbroken. So they must be internally-crushed or heart-attacked or something.
She hased a mouse yesterday, so I took it from her and put it outside. Somehow, within a few hours, she hased it again. So I put it outside again, and then she hased it again. All without ever leaving the house! So I put it back outside. So far, either it's stayed out or it died in her jaws while I was asleep. In which case she stashed it away in some dark, hidden corner, and I will start to smell it in a few days.
