On a similar yukky note, my cat had not only left the guts of a mouse (or vole - it's hard to tell) on the kitchen floor this morning, he had then sicked it all up on the windowsill and on our cactus. Cleaning cat sick off a cactus is not an easy job. :thunbdown:
That's so gross but it also made me laugh out loud!

Could have been a little owl (and I'm not being facetious!) They often sit on posts.
bringing the thread back on track, loads of hares on an early morning wander, now changing slowly to brown, not really a run as my calf is still very tight. Curlews, an owl, a little lizzard and loads of grouse
ha.. my Edale Skyline pre-race preparation involved cleaning up pools of dog sick, urine and runny sh*t off the kitchen floor....all mixed together in some places.... not good, when all I wanted to do was eat something!!! still not sure of the best/most clinical way to "pick-up" doggy diarrhoea.... suggestions please!!!!
on a different note... seeing lots of kamikaze pheasants in the Derbyshire fields/roads at the mo... not managed to hit one yet, but getting closer. Also seen a couple of MASSIVE birds of prey, perched on fence posts.. one near Winster and one near Grantham. I'd say they were buzzards, but they looked bigger...
You need other pets that will eat it. Some dogs do this well with horse poo! My dog has cleaned up after 'accidents' made by the kids when they were very little. I think the key thing you have to not be there to watch - I don't know what's worse, cleaning it up or the thought of your mans-best-friend eating it.
hmmmm, yes, but they don't eat their own, do they....
on the smell post earlier (lowering tone again).... my dogs used to roll in all sorts when younger... but nothing beats the smell of a rotting fox cub head paraded through the house with pride by one of my dogs. Presumably must have been killed/eaten by another fox and dumped in the garden....

Over the last week or so, my labrador has gradually eaten his way through a dead pheasant that he keeps going back to on our regular walk. He's down to crunchy wing bones now, and liberal amounts of sheep shit as some kind of condiment I presume.
My collie is above such things, and will only eat cheese when we're out.
Swallow in the conservatory today - Mrs WH rescued it before the dogs had a snack!
