Corgi's catching mice

Hi my new guy Chevy he is such a wonderful sweet boy and the most loveable and probably one of the smartest dogs I have ever met.. Well everytime I take the boys outside- Chevy well he finds mice and he kills them and buries them... He stomps on them with his feet and then picks it up and digs a hole in the dirt and buries it.. I am afraid he might get some kind of disease or something if he bites into one of these mice or what if one bites him .. So I have been staying outside with the boys now when I take them out cause I donot want him to find anymore mice -- He found one out by the garbage can and he picked it up and ran with then stomped on it.. Anyone else have a corgi catching mice??

I believe the squirrels here look forward to the boys chasing them and throwing things at them-- the squirrel thing started when I had my Riley he would run and chase them up the pole and that is when they started throwing things down at him- it became a game--lol..Then when Riley passed away this last year- for weeks the squirrels would sit out there on the poles making noises and they would look for him,I think they missed him ..Well then we got Toby and he just didnot know what to do for a while then it started to click then he started the chase and the squirrels games were back on-- well now that we got Chevy this boy is all boy well he is bringing out alot of new things in Toby and it is so fun to watch them play ..So now Chevy has taught him to look for mice and Toby taught him to chase the squirrels..Never a dull day around here with my boys-- and I would not have it any other way--

My boy Henry is a great mouser. He gives them a shake and then gobbles them down like a little furry, piece of steak.

Nature can be cruel, red in tooth and claw, but there is a certain austere, dark beauty in the ruthless struggle for survival in a world utterly indifferent to the fate of the individual, wherein animals do what they can do without the ability to comprehend or empathize with the fate of their prey. Indeed, they would not survive if they could. Observing the stark realities of the behavior of the other animals, we learn much about our own. It is often not pretty, but it is what it is.

I used to be dead set against hunting, but I changed my mind because hunting doesn't even come close to the cruelty of factory farming, the mass production of animals for human consumption. At least animals who have been shot by a hunter experienced a normal and free life. For myself, I feel like Justine Moeller, but I can see Nikki's side too. As far as a person actually watching any animal torture another animal and merely stand by unmoved when they could intervene.... that I will never understand.

Seanna eats flies. Sage jumps up for her and knocks them down and she finishes them off. They also eat left over rabbit guts left by the door from the cat sometimes when they're quicker than me. But regular outsdoor stuff, they just chase. Seanna does the same thing as Frosty with the moles-- just keeps 'um cornered until I can get there and let them loose. But then she looks at me like "what did you do THAT for?". Good thing is her attention span is so short she forgets about it quickly and moves on. I wouldn't let them kill anything if I could help it. I'd be mortified.
