Oh no she DIDN'T! Did she?
Sweet little 19 lb. Lilliput came trotting in a little too quickly thru her doggy door and straight to her hidey-hole/cave under my bed. Suspicious. Old Dog comes trotting in after her. More suspicious. LOUD dog fight noises. And yes, there she is, defending her territory from Old Dog, since it now contains a full size decapitated and front-legless bunny.
I know she can kill bunnies. But, can she really eat (or remove and hide) the head and front legs? The scene of the crime required her to carry it up a flight of stairs, over a 12" fence, and into the house. Other possibilities were that a coyote had jumped the fence (but why would he leave half the rabbit when leaving?), or a fox squeezed in between the fence slats (has been known to happen, but we found no loose boards this time).
Lilli usually starts obnoxious begging behavior 1-2 hours before dinner. No begging tonight. Was content with half her usual food, and did not try to steal Old Dog's dinner. Even more suspicious. And there was NO begging for her after dinner rawhide. Unheard of. She is quiet, either sick or content. She's sleeping on her back, little feet in the air, cute as a .... bunny.
So, is it likely that she really ate all these bunny parts? Skull, brains, legs? My bird dog swallows birds whole, but he's a bigger dog. Any thoughts?

Gross!! But funny....
Ginny's only killed birds. No bunnies yet. I think I would cry if she did!

LOL, Yoda does not have any chance to do the same thing, since he lives in the city. However, he kills and eats plenty of cockroaches off the street to satisfies his hunting instinct.

My female is worse that my male about dead stuff and critters.....she loves to torment frogs particularly. I have occassionally had to do the stern------"DROP IT....DROP IT"------She normally looks at me like----not likely------and a wrestling match ensues!
