She's a hunting dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my little dog Halloween likes this little game "Chase the birds". All we have to do is tell her their are birds in the back yard and she takes off through her door, barking and growling ready to lay into those birds. Of course they fly away before she gets anywhere close to them. She just loves this game. Brings out the ANIMAL in her. Pretty funny to watch.

Yesterday, Steve was at the back door with her getting her all worked up by telling her their were birds, holding the door knob and saying it over and over, while she works into this little Dachshund frenzy, barking and snarling and whining. Finally he opens the door, she lets out this growling bark that is bigger than she is and bolts out, squeezing through the barley open door and all I hear is her running through the dried, fallen leaves under the trees and Steve egging her on. I then hear Steve saying "Good girl! You got one!" That is the moment I get up and go outside to see that my little dog with the 6 inch legs actually caught a bird. For the next several hours she kept going outside hunting through the plants in the back yard.

She is an official hunting dog now.

Raini and Colter, no tears this time. she is only doing what comes natural.
