Bunny Slayer
Yep, it finally happened. Not on the Bunny Deck, as one would assume. But at home in our own back yard. Saturday I noticed the Boogalu was digging in a corner by the air conditioner. This corner was filled with dead leaves and some gardening stuff. I figured some critter was living there and now was a good time to clean it all out. A yard trash bag later, I have a cleaned out corner, but no critters. Boogalu is still interested in the area, but finally gives up.
Skip to Sunday morning. Boogalu is outside as usual. Jim glances outside from the kitchen window and notices Boogie is digging in the corner again. He yells, the dog stops. A little while later, Jim checks on Boogie again and realizes he has something. Jim says to me, "I think Boogalu has killed something." We run down the stairs and open the door and there is Booglu, very proud of himself with a small bunny hanging out of his mouth. While this makes the hearts of rabbit hunters everywhere go pitter-pat, we were not amused. Okay, we were slightly amused. "Look at me, I caught a bunny!" You could just hear him. Yes, the rabbit died. No, we did not get a picture. A) I left the camera upstairs B) I didnt' think a dead bunny would be a good picture. Using a spray bottle, Jim gets Boogie to drop the bunny and gets Boogie inside the house, where I close the door. Jim disposes of the bunny in the woods where some other animal will enjoy the kill.
Boogalu lost his mind when he realized that Jim removed the bunny. After we let him back into the yard, Boogalu spent the next 20 minutes looking for the bunny.
Lots of dog drama this weekend.

Ooh, poor you, poor bunny. My landlady's cat used to bring me half dead mice and birds so I can sympathize. Beagles are a hunting dog after all.
Having beagles has been pretty fun overall. They are just amazing to watch when they get a scent. I figured it really was just a matter of time before he managed to catch something and kill it.
