Felix my Schip is a devil dog. He is a bad influence on the other dogs. He was mauling a squirrel today and trying to get Rocky to join in, which he did until I noticed what they were doing and yelled at them to stop. Rocky didn't stop at first but then he did.
Poor squirrel climbed up the tree and hung limply on a branch with his mauled leg bleeding. I coaxed him down or scared him down and got him into a carrier and took him to a wildlife rehabber 30 mins. away. I talked to him the whole time in the car to keep him from going into shock. Every time we went over a bump, I said "Here's a bump, BUMP!" until he started looking up at me every time.
I'd tap the carrier and say 'you still alive?' and he'd blink at me, while I'm going like 70mph. He hung in there and got there alive. I hope he'll be ok. I made a $100 donation to the clinic. I could tell he'd been mauled before and survived because he had a swelling on his leg.
I guess Rocky is not too highly predatorial or he wouldn't have stopped mauling him?
That Schip though, he's just a demon dog. Yet inside, he walks right past the guinea pigs like they aren't there.
I hope the little squirrely dude pulls through. He seemed like a real trooper. Oh I miss my collies. They would never have done that. GSDs are herding group too but I don't see an ounce of herding instinct in mine. They're just like big polar bears, wanton carnivores.

) We are just vigilant now with her as we have 2 rats and 3 birds in the house (one a Parrotlet) I try not to blame her for being a dog and doing what dogs do...sometimes it is hard and you can be so angry at them but, in the end they are dogs....
