I am so pleased to hear that Doggie is doing well. She looks like just the sweetest dog ever, and it is wonderful that she has turned into such a good watch dog.

My goodness, she likes turtles for breakfast, huh? I know it's hard to watch the reality of 'survival of the fittest' playing out in nature, and I have to remind myself that it is God's plan and keeps nature in balance. But it is hard to see....and NO predators better come near my scrub jays, not now that they have names and are eating out of my hand. Kitty, just don't name the turtles. It's so much easier that way. :-(

After she Caught and Ate one of the Squirrels, we put an Extra Name Tag on her Collar, so Now she Jingles with Every Step she takes. Hopefully that will Give Warning to whatever she has her Eye on that she is Approaching!

Was she on her own for awhile? I am wondering if she had to learn to hunt to survive. That would explain her good hunting abilities. My lab that we had from the time he was eight weeks old wouldn't think of eating anything that wasn't put in his dish, but he never had to learn how to hunt.

The extra name tag was a good idea. Won't help the turtles much, but it should be a good alert for the other critters to be able to hear her coming.
