Sadie is my Norwegian Elkhound and family dog. She loves to hunt squirrels, chipmunks, moles, voles, mice and any other creature she can play with first and then it dies. She hates snakes and so do I!!!
I never know what she’s going to bring to the front porch anytime day or night. One-night last night she brought me an opossum and the porch was covered with blood (sorry for the graphic story).
Yesterday though, she really surprised us. Keep in mind it is JANUARY!! Eddie heard her barking below the garage where he was working and didn’t go to her figuring it was a mouse or swamp rat and then he saw her give something a whiplash shake!!! She only does that to one thing!!!
Yes, it’s a gray water snake that was in the wet weather spring below the garage! Yes, it’s January and snakes aren’t supposed to be out!
Well, I guess that’s one less we’ll have scare me to death next summer when I’m going to the cellar!! Sadie amazes me at how quick she catches and kills them then walks away. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t want on the front porch one morning!!

She is an awesome hunter!! I wouldn’t mind terribly if she left her kills but now we’ll know where they are and maybe be able to get rid of them before she rolls on them!! 🙂

Just about as bad as a confrontation with a skunk!!! One is just as bad as another. No way to bathe her indoors and too cold to bathe outside the last couple weeks. We just try to keep a close watch on her.

She’s a beauty and probably the fifth or sixth elkhound I’ve owned in our fifty years together.

I cook simple and use ingredients that I have on hand most of the time. I hope you find something you would like to try and will let me know how it worked for you.
