Another one bites the dust.

His Lordship was on high alert after hearing something in the backyard stone wall.

.

.

Not finding anything, he tried the front lawn stone wall.

.

.

After narrowly missing a chipmunk there….

.

.

He returned to the back lawn stone wall… and waited.

.

.

Patience paid off. He snatched a mouse out of a rock crevice and ran with it to the back door, which was thankfully closed. Rodent death was fairly quick this time around …

.

.

So Dudley got bored with his prize and headed back to the wall. Leaving another fresh carcass for yours truly.

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.
