LOL .................. Thank you so much, that brought back some very fond memories. Our Dobie would do much the same. She was the big hunter and would proudly display her catch of the day.
for many year we had a large family of white squirrels which lived out back and they simply drove her crazy. As they would scoot up a tree after a good chase around the yard, she (Shera our dobie) would get frustrated and tear the limbs and branches off the trees. In fact, when she could not reach the branches by jumping up from the ground, she would try to find something higher to jump up from, like the woodpiles or other items. It was as if she was trying to hinder their ability to climb the trees. It was fun to watch.
She was a dear friend and family member.
