heat makes dogs kill

there are always stories about people going crazy and killing during hot hot days- like it makes people crazy or something- i think (hope) the same is true for pomeranians. Yesterday we had a crime committed in our backyard. This weekend it was 95+ on saturday and close to 100 on sunday. Saturday while I was in the kitchen I noticed the big fat mother groundhog in our fence. i opened the window and yelled at it to get out. it did listen to me and left the fenced in yard. Well sunday afternoon about 1pm Murhpy and Linus were sitting by the back door (shade was pulled) so i let them out thinking they hadnt been out in a while. for some odd reason i watched them as they ran out the door to the corner of the yard right where the groundhog had left our yard the day before. As I was saying to ryan isnt it weird they run right over there i see a little baby groundhog running for its life to the fence and jumps through it. then i see linnie dart to the right and out of my sight. i see 2 more baby groundhogs running from the yard to the fence. both of them make it out. then i look over to see linnie and there is something brown in her mouth! i started screaming at ryan- oh she got one! she got one! ryan ran outside and had to pry her away from the poor dead groundhog. he disciplined her pretty good- hopefully it helps. i doubt it though. luckily the big mom wasnt in the yard too or linnie would have had her hands full. i bet murphy would have gotten involved if that happened. Murphy was just watching her in disbelief i think.

what is wrong with my dog?!!?

there is nothing wrong with your dog. it is nature. she knows the joy of killing, and murphy does not! i wish i had a linnie here. we would have none of this animal invasion nonsense.

i think it's time linne gets "the shot".. or donated to the shelter.

there is usually not the transference of agression from animals/predators to humans. BUT if she ever acts aggressive to the baby, its the big needle, dont you think? and of course my precious marcia marie.
