Our dog is the best Shredder ever. Animal death warning!

[starfish]

  We came home to a horrible smell in the house today. Couldn't figure out for a while till I tracked it down to Ponyo's cage. Which was weird since we cleaned it Saturday and gave her a bath and was smelling good when we left. Open it and there was a little box turtle....she had smashed it into the side of her crate. It smelled so bad like I threw her crate in the yard and made my husband go clean it.
           I felt so crappy, she always is getting turtles out of the yard, but we normally notice before she gets to far with them. Our yard is a turtle highway, we always have a ton traveling threw. Even saw a few snapping turtles too. She normally barks and noses them till I move them behind the shed. My husband wants to change her name to shredder, and I just a little sad for that turtle. I made my husband go bury it, poor little guy.


   We have no way of blocking the turtles out, and this is the first one she smuggled into the house. I shouldn't be laughing at the shredder comments but I did, Guess I going to hell. I really surprised that in a matter of hours the smell too. I hiding out and drinking a hard cider while the dog gets scrubbed down.

We have a cat that sneaks snakes into the house to play with, so I feel you. Usually we see him come back in and can prevent it, but he has smuggled them past us a few times and we've found the carnage later. We call him The Great Furry Snake Hunter.

I would feel worse about turtles than snakes though.

Also, I am currently wearing a Ninja Turtles tshirt, so LOL.

Cricket is a mole killer. He will sit and wait (and wait) until he hears them russeling in the leaves and then pounce!! The saddest and funniest thing (and I will probably go to hell for laughing at this part) is that he then runs around the yard throwing the poor deceased mole in the air and catching it for like 5 minutes while I chase him like a lunatic trying to get it away from him.

Oh that is so sad... I love turtles

Oh man. I remember we had a gerbil when I was in elementary school. I came home one day to find he had killed one of our hamsters. 

Apparently hamsters and gerbils do not get along.

Don't feel to bad, hamsters and hamsters kill each other too. My sister and I had hamsters and my mom put hers into my cage to clean hers, and my hamster killed hers. It was in a matter of seconds. I was scared of him after that.

Hamsters are vicious. I really don't understand why so many people think they make such an awesome pet.

May I borrow Cricket next spring? We have a mole who comes and devastates my flower beds for 3 years running. Apparently we brought him back into the neighborhood through my organic gardening and refusal to use poisons like roundup Great. The first year we hadn't put hardware cloth on the bottom of the raised veggie beds and he managed to kick out one of the boards! We tried a trap with no luck.

As long as your garden is surrounded by a 6 foot fence, I can bring him over.  The fence is needed because he can easily clear a 5 foot fence.  We can sit and chat and drink cool drinks while he does his thing.
