MOm had a big big fright .......................I wuz a good boy.............

[Roberta]

but Amy was real naughty. I'll let mum tell you.

I was down at the washing line and heard wonder boy barking, I assumed he had come out the dog door and saw movement and DUH not recognised me. I got from behind the washing and realised he was barking at something  at the corner of the house. So I ran up the hill mean while MADAM came out the dog door with the "LET ME AT IT " look. I had yeld at OLlie to leave it so he just kept barking, well missy pounced on it  and I was over their cage wire fence all I could see was a tail and it looked scalley it was a big blue tongue lizard doing the big hiss. Madam got scruffed and shoved along with Ollie back inside.
I got a big bucket and got into it and had to  keep moving it so it could not get out, I put it over the outside fence, and then calmed down.
Blue tongues can give you a bite, I was sure that Amy had not been bitten, but I checked it out with the vet and they said it woiuld not get through the hair.

So will have to work with the leave with madam

Leave IT & Drop IT are the two best commands to ever teach a dog. Good Luck training it can be done Buddy and or Patches got them a squirrel  I went out called them not knowing of the squirrel Patches went in the house. Then I saw squirrel tail hanging from Buddy's jaws I yelled for hubby and Drop It Buddy went in the house hubby went out picked up Mr. Dead Squirrel thew him into the brick yard. Very good fur kids.

Dashies bred to go after badgers so they are mean guess some dachshunds are going after prey no matter what color it is if it bites back or not some like Patches turns her head when we had a mouse in the house a couple of years ago like what mouse i don't sees no mouse.
