She is a little stupid about that kind of stuff though. She loved to chase things but then doesn't know what to do. For example, she caught a baby bunny once and just kind of held it between her paws like, "Ok - I caught it. What do I do now?" which allowed the baby bunny to hop away unharmed (although probably traumatized).</p> <p>A couple of our dogs growing up liked to bring "presents" back to us though! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908951 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:19:15 +0000 coopsmama 1908951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up, our dogs would occasionally kill one of the chickens if a chicken happened to escape their pen and coop. :( It was always very sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908947 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:18:39 +0000 Iced Tea 1908947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully, no. My lab has tried insects and worms but nothing else. She has really surprised me with her calm. We can sit at an outdoor cafe and the birds will come within a foot of her; she just watches them. One day she picked up a dead bird from the sidewalk, and I totally expected a bloody mess, but true to a soft-mouthed retriever, she brought it to me and dropped it. It wasn't bloodied. Honestly I thought she would try to eat it; that girl is all about food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908927 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:05:44 +0000 Boheme 1908927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I will wall you a pic!

Thankfully he leaves my chickens alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908872 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:33:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 1908872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: Oh that's funny!!!

She is disgusting. Somedays she will all of a sudden be super fat so we know they caught something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908859 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:28:02 +0000 MrsBrewer 1908859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: WOW! That's quite a list! After they kill them, what do they do with it? Just leave it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908858 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:26:01 +0000 Lindsay05 1908858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birds, grouse, squirrels, rabbits, muskrats, weasels, skunks. And thats what we know of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908834 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:13:15 +0000 Chillybear 1908834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up, we had a Shiba and he had a very high prey drive. Every spring there would be a baby bunny massacre, he also managed to grab birds right out of flight, bugs, a few groundhogs and was not very dog or cat friendly. Luckily, he always came out on top and never tussled with a skunk. There were a few times my dad had to intervene. </p> <p>Our current dog is a hound/lab mix you think would be good at hunting but he's so clumsy and loud that he can never catch anything, thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908818 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:03:26 +0000 Synchronicity 1908818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No she hasn't, I would be so upset! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908811 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 10:00:57 +0000 LulaBee 1908811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dogs have killed a baby bunny. It was very traumatic for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908768 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:42:48 +0000 autumnlove 1908768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908743 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Train 1908743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several birds and squirrels. The kids keep asking if we can get another pet like a bird or hamster but I am pretty sure our dog would eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908719 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:24:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 1908719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: He's a very dopey 100 lb chocolate lab, with zero coordination. LOL I think if he gets a bunny, it's out of pure chance! hahaha</p> <p>@twodoghouse: LOL!! How sweet about the baby bunny with how gentle your dog was! hahahah Gross about the bird though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908713 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:23:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1908713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dogs caught and killed a squirrel once. I was so mad at them! I still have no clue how they managed. Squirrels are fast and my big dog is the opposite of stealthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908709 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:21:17 +0000 MapleMoose 1908709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Hopefully she doesn't teach him how to hunt lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908707 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:19:52 +0000 twodoghouse 1908707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog caught a baby bunny once, but didn't know what to do with it. (He has a very soft mouth) He just carried it around in his mouth while it screamed bloody murder. He dropped when I told him to leave it (that rarely works!) and I was sure it was dead. But my husband went out to scoop it up and it hopped away! I still think it probably died of shock once it got under our fence. Same dog brought me a dead, frozen, headless baby bird one morning. I'm choosing to believe he found it that way and didn't eat the head off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908703 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:17:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 1908703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: @Mrs. Bee: My cats are so lazy!!! The only thing they will ever go after is the occasional fruit fly! hahaha</p> <p>@Charm54: Oh that poor hamster!!!! :-(</p> <p>@MapleMoose: Hunting is in their blood I guess! My boy dog is just about 2 and he hasn't caught anything yet, so hopefully I will only have to worry about my girl dog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908699 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:17:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1908699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog would loooove to catch something but she never will :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908695 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:14:56 +0000 MapleMoose 1908695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up my dogs would occasionally get rabbits or groundhogs.

She put the hamster in one of those balls that rolls around on the floor and forgot about him when we went out shopping. We came home to quite the traumatic mess...we still don't know how our dog managed to open the ball...poor little hamster didn't have a chance :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908668 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:04:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1908668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cat used to catch big snakes! also lizards and mice.</p> <p>my parents' dogs caught rabbits alll the time. the rabbits eventually stopped coming around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908665 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:04:17 +0000 Bubbles 1908665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat is an indoor cat but when I lived at home my mum's cats were constantly hunting! And they often brought stuff in still alive, like bunnies which then would start hopping round the house, or even worse birds. Birds indoors REALLY freak me out, but luckily my sister is some sort of Dr Doolittle type and would always coax the poor creatures back outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-pets-killed-anything-in-the-yardoutside#post-1908657 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 09:01:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 1908657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and we had a disgusting night last night! We let our dogs in the backyard to do their business (which is fenced in) and we always have a ton of bunnies back there, but they are fast and every time before this have escaped. Well last night my girl dog caught the bunny for the first time, and pretty much killed it immediately. It was disgusting. She has white paws, and a white belly. For whatever reason she decided to then lay on it. Luckily I think the bunny was killed immediately, she shook it pretty hard, but it was just gross, she wouldn't leave it alone.</p> <p>We had to bribe her to come in the house with a high reward treat, then quick give her a bath, because she had blood on her paws. Just disgusting.</p> <p>Have your cats or dogs killed anything like that before?? </p>
