Squirrels

Let me start by saying Pearl loves squirrels....as in catching them to snack on. She has turned into quite a hunter catching several of them. Well, she caught one on Wednesday and decided she didn't want to share. Jacks are like that. Understand with Jack Russel terriers - specifically females, one has to be very careful. It is a known fact keeping two female Jacks together can be a problem. In some cases they will fight to the death in an effort to be the alpha dog. In our case I don't see Abby challenging Pearl for that spot. Anyway I diverge so let me get back on topic.
  Pearl was quite pleased with herself and decided to eat the entire squirrel. Normally Pearl is quite skinny (Susan complains she is too thin) The following picture shows Pearl after her feast. She is all tummy!

The other thing we discovered was she got a cut from fighting with the squirrel near her collar. This combined with other things made her stink to high heaven. I gave her a bath and she settled down for the evening on the bed with us.

When I got up the next morning I noticed the gate to the laundry room was closed and Pearl's gate was open. Susan told me Pearl needed to go outside and she didn't want to hear her having "trouble". I had to laugh. Serves Pearl right for stuffing herself.
