See the cute dog to the right? that's Liza, not just a pretty face show dog. Earned her top dog badge tonight! The doggie door is open 24/7 & with that we have had many adventures since it's not just the dogs that use the door. Anyway I think our newest visitor used the door and has been trying to get to the cat food that is in a secure container. In the wee hours of this morning Liza was awake and consumed by the container. I thought she found a stray piece of cat food and could not reach it.. I was wrong.. something darted out from under the cupboard and took off with her in pursuit. I was shocked! Whatever it was, was also big. Liza did not catch it and eventually settled back down.
Now it's evening and I have the lights off out in the kitchen and I am happily getting settled to check email when I hear a noise from the other room. Jumping up I see the cat very intent on the birds cage bottom. Closing all doors and moving the dog gate to cut off the kitchen I let Liza in with the cat and she becomes very interested in the cage and goes all around it. I stay behind the gate and when I look behind the cage along the wall and I see sticking out a very large tail! Uh oh.. rat! After a few min Liza darts to the back side and then before I know it this creature comes charging out from under the cage and hits the family room door with a bang! I yell for Liza and she comes running. Sees this thing jumping like over 3 feet in the air trying to get away and POW! Liza is on it! Smashing it to the floor many times. Sounds effects were not so pleasant but it was over quickly and there is Liza strutting her stuff with this dead thing in her mouth. I convinced her to drop it and get her to my side of the gate and praise her for being such a Good Dog! Thankfully hubby is on his way home to remove the deceased.
