I went down the country for a few days with Phoebe to see my parents. Now my parents' garden is huge and they take great pride in it.
So Phoebe wasn't around for a few minutes which means she's up to no good!
We heard her bark frantically and thought she was caught in something. So we ran to find her in the process of killing a rabbit. He was in a lot of distress and we got her away but she was in an awful state of excitement.
Thankfully my father came home and took the rabbit well away from Phoebe. (the rabbit wasn't quite dead so unfortunately my father had to kill it in order to take it out if its pain).
I must admit I found the whole thing distressing: The fact that Phoebe is a strong predator. My sister's dog was there and wasn't interested in the rabbit. He is mainly a lab. So we reckon that she's a good sniffer dog because she's a spaniel and he is mainly into guarding.
I also found it distressful to watch the rabbit and listen to him make those horrible noises. What is also quite worrying is the fact that I have 2 rabbits myself. They are safe from her but human error can always happen.
Thanks for listening,
Brid.
