I am the beastliest dog in the world. I have conquered one of the greatest feats in all of dogkind…my first successful hunt. Now, don’t think I am a sissy, being all of 17 months and having never before succeeded in a kill.

Its not as easy as it looks. You have to stalk the prey, get a good visual sight on all of its exit strategies and make sure your mom doesn’t yank you away from the goods before you can act.

Well, tonight all my practice paid off. I stalked a frog, snuck up from behind him and pounced. I had its squishy sliminess clenched in my jaws when my stupid mom let out a sissy girl scream. I looked up at her, prey still in my mouth, wagging my tail. I was totally willing to share! I mean come on, this was a big occassion! I could not understand why she would be yelling, “No, NO!” at me as if I had done something wrong…anyway, she pulled out one of my favorite treats from her bag and I totally forgot I had my kill in my mouth and dropped it to get what Mom was holding.

Then, she pulled me away from the scene of the kill and told me to be quiet as we snuck away. I guess she thought we would all be in trouble, but I just wanted to eat that creature, he looked so good, like he had been marinated in a shiny, juicy feasting sauce!

Oh well, now that I know I have experience in this realm, I plan to move on to my next challenge - the elusive chipmunk…or maybe a squirrel? No, definitely a rabbit! Well, I will be dreaming about what’s next tonight for sure!
