Sorry there are no pictures as I didn't even have my phone in my pocket when this adventure occurred.
The other day while hunting for Goldby, the resident groundhog (who has been MIA the past few days), Hailey was distracted by something else in the long grass. It was a giant grasshopper. Hailey had a great time playing with this hopper. She chased it and pounced it and worked hard to hunt it. Eventually she was successful - the hopper was not hopping anymore.
Next it was roll on the dead hopper and get all that dead goodness all over your fur. She spent the next few minutes carefully positioning the grasshopper and then rolling it. She repeated this at least a half dozen times.
Once the spoils of her hunt adorned her fur, it was time to eat the hopper. This is where I stepped in and moved her from the hopper. I really didn't want her to throw that up later!
While Lee has not been successful in hunting Goldby, she was very proud to have caught the hopper.
Such a small thing to give so much pleasure..ahhh!

Pawsome hunting trophy Lee and a good roll is something I would do too. Hope it did not end in a bath pal. Have a marvellous Monday.

You have to get what you can get, Hailey. Good practice for Goldby's day of reckoning.
ReplyDeleteHailey... you are a super hunter fur SURE. We are so happy that you at LEAST got to roach and roll on your Deaded TROPHY... before she dragged you away from it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Hailey is a magnificent hunter no matter what she is hunting! Good for her.

Nice job Hailey! Too bad you didn't get to consume the goods though =/
ReplyDeleteHailey have you thought about just playing with your stuffy instead? That's what I do most of the time :)

Your pal Snoopy :)
Now isn't that JUST like a Human? Snatch away a perfectly good tasty hopper before you even had a CHANCE to eat him?? And I bet he woulda been all crunchy and stuff too. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYAY Hailey! Hopper juice probably makes your furs all nice and shiny but I suppose your Mom just didn't understand that huh? At least you had some fun up until the point you were ready to have your "hoppetizer" !
ReplyDeleteKitty Hugs, Sammy
Haha, Lee you goober. You're supposed to eat the grasshopper when nobody is looking!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, but seriously, what's with dogs and rolling in dead things? I'm going to go broke from taking Beamer to the dog wash everytime he decides to roll in something that's no longer alive.
