Natural born killer…. almost.

.

We had a little excitement here at Casa River the last time I took Dudley for a stroll. While rounding the corner of the garage his Lordship pounced… and came up with a mouse.

.

.

I hadn’t seen or heard it…. but His Royal Highness was on it like white on rice.

.

.

And yes, it was a violent attack.

.

.

Problem is, once the instinct to chase and catch faded…..

.

.

He had absolutely no idea what to do next… looking to me for guidance.

And while I normally save all captured creatures… we’ve been having a slight mouse issue. Winter’s coming and I’m sorry, but I don’t want the little devils nesting in my warm car or house…. so I instructed Lord Dudley Mountcatten to finish it.

.

.

The poor thing was mortally wounded and dragging his little back feet anyway.

In typical I will enjoy torturing you by tossing you into the air cat fashion, Mickey was flying to and fro.

.

.

But finally, the deed was done.

.

.

Live mice? Fun toys.

Dead, non moving no matter how much you bat at them, mice?

Kinda boring.

.

Blog number one thousand two hundred twenty whatever, where River chases turkeys.

.

Wild turkeys. They’re comical and I love to watch them…

.

.

But then they discovered my deer grain pans.

.

.

I chased them, but half heartedly and with ridiculously cringe worthy baby talk.

.

.

But they’re turkeys, so as soon as I walked in the house and looked out the window? This.

.

.

So I chased them again. And that time they stayed gone for an hour… just long enough for me to put out the nightly deer snack.

.

.

While I don’t mind them coming to eat the dropped bird seed and assorted Casa River insects, they’ve figured out the buffet of deer grain, fruit and fox food is laid out at 3:00pm and this might be a problem.
