ManDog MonDay

This is why we didn't post this weekend:


Just being lazy like the Momster. We promise we will try to do better this week.

But, Thunder here, I do have to tell you that I did have some fun on Saturday. I can't show you any pics but I found him right here.

What did I find? A SNAKE!!!! He was about five feet long and really ugly. I made the mistake of flipping him up in the air and Mom saw me. She ran over and made me leave it, which I did like a good pup. I thought she was going to help me out by cooking it a bit. But NO, she got a shovel and threw it over the fence where I couldn't get it. What was she thinking?

Here I am carefully checking the grounds to see
if he managed to slither back into my territory.


Yeah, I can see you in there, Mom, keeping tabs on me. Don't worry, I haven't found him yet.

Meanwhile, today I was outside on the deck when Mom heard a bang and came to the door to see what I was doing.

This is what she saw on the deck. I raced down the stairs as fast as I could. But then I heard those darn words again. 'Leave it.'

Be forewarned - the next pic isn't pretty.



Here is what I had to leave.

Now you tell me. . .

Am I a ManDog on MonDay or what?

I am Thunder Dunder the Hunter.

Woos,

  2. Poor thunder - tell your mommy you were protecting the house from intruders - Sweetie does this stuff too - but she is sneaky and hides her catches under the deck

  3. Good works, Thunder Dunder the Hunter!

    I spose she wouldn't let you keep the bird either?

    I have never tried snake, is it good eating?

  4. Woooos Thunder! You are the man! I caught a possum other night, but no pictures, Mom is never too happy when I catch things, I don't know why, probably because I do not "leave it" i like to eat it!

  5. Thunder you are such a good pup even though mom took away your fun.
    Next time try not to let your momster see it.

  6. Unbelievable! I have tried to catch things - by climbing trees, rocks and fording rushing rivers, but alas... only the tiny cat regularly brings beasts with feather or fur back to my mom, and frankly, I'm a bit envious.

  9. You are a mighty hunter indeed. You should have at least gotten to eat that poor little bird.

    We had a similar experience only momma heard "cruch, cruch, cruch" and found out that I was eating cough drops (don't worry, they didn't give me sickies). I had nice breath all day.

    I think you should leave snakes to terriers. They are really good at shaking them up.

  10. You are the best hunter in KS! I would think that your mom would like you catching your own dinner but mom's are weird like that.

  12. Wooooow Thunder Dunder the Hunter!

    The lil piappies Frappie, Mocha and Sugar are clapping their paws and are in awe with your courage and coolness!

    Mr. Birdie got lots of its feathers gone and the Mr. Ssssnake would probably been torn into pieces if your mom did not make you stop. Worry not though, she was probably very concerned that the nasty thing would bite you.

    Stay safe there!

  17. Wow, you have an exciting back yard. Last night when we went out for last call, Mom smelled skunk. She took her flashlight and looked around the yard. Mr Skunk must have just been passing by and left his scent behind. Mom didn't want to wash ten skunked dogs at 11PM.

  18. You are quite the hunter, Thunder!!! Your momma should be proud of you!!!

  20. Charybdis almost caught a hummingbird today. Mommy was not happy. Thunder we are glad the snake didn't hurt you. You shouldn't play with snakes. Now the bird was a pawsome catch, even us cats are impressed. ~S,S,C & F

  21. A snake! I'm sorry she took it away- if you remember, we have our own snake visitor- you can certainly have him if you would like!! I know you are just trying to help. All this talk about the down economy- it seems to me you are just trying to be frugal by catching your own food! You better tell her that winter's comin' and you need to start storing up all of your prey to feed the family!

  22. You are a great hunter Thunder.. Keep it up.. You might find a frog for Norwood and a squirrel for Khyra...

  24. Aww..poor little birdie. :-(

    Have a good week.:-)

  29. Good ManDog Thunder Hunter!!! Pretty cool day and I'm glad you left the snake alone. My mom got bite by one some years ago trying to protect her dog before I came along and wow was she sick and in the hospital for awhile. Dead birds..yeah, I get those too in my yard but mom makes me spit them out. The worst thing I got when I was a pup was a frog which made me gag like crazy and then mom got it and threw it across several yards..probably still in an apple tree somewhere. I'd say you are doing great...but do stay away from those snakes..bad bad news for sure.

  31. Ooh, Thunder - I think you are like that Crocodile Hunter human who was on TV before - always attracting wild creatures! What an exciting time you've been having!

    We had one of those "bang birds" too - it flew into the big glass folding doors between our garden and our living room - it must have been trying to come into our living room! Hee! Hee! Actually, Hsin-Yi told me that it was a baby bird still learning to fly and so didn't know how to steer properly. Anyway, it was lucky and was just a bit stunned and when Hsin-yi picked it up, it wriggled a bit and then flew away!

  32. What I want to know is who invented those dreaded "leave it" words...

  33. Thunder the Hunter - awesome.

    We watched one day while a bird kept buzzing Natasha. She watched it swoop past over and over and over and finally she had had enough. The bird swooped, she struck, and the bird was in her mouth still in midflap. She spit it out (a little late for the bird) and laid back down for her nap. Woo.

  39. Great job Thunder!

  45. Please don't play with snakes. They're scary!

    Great job catching the bird! I love to try, but usually not lucky enough to grab them. I did catch a gecko the other night.
