The rabbit....

This had me laughing our walk....at the expense of someone else for once!

It started on with this particular dog walker in a fairly good mood, he said hello as he passed us, smiling and nodding at Otter, was swimming in random circles at the time. His well behaved golden retriever was bouncing happily alongside, with her usual lovely goofy expression.

Otter jumps out, and wanders around an area longish bit of grass, she finds a dead rabbit. I recall her, and she leaves the rabbit ( yeah I know...odd...) The dog walker has walked on ahead....but...

The Golden has got scent of the rabbit. Uh Oh.

I yell out there is a dead rabbit?????? Helpfully I place a foot on the rabbit to try and dissuade said GR who as this point is showing a lot of interest. The man gives a friendly backward wave. OK.

I glance down at the GR, now gnawing on the rabbit. She looks at me at Jeez! She is f@@king scary, snarly full on Cujo, she is in serious "THIS IS MY F@@KING RABBIT" mode. I lift my foot and gingerly back away. The nice friendly owner, is not looking happy...

He gets close to her...and then she is OFF! This normal placid GR is running like the wind, with the rabbit hanging from her mouth...he is yelling blue murder at her... for some reason I am finding this hilarious. At various points she is appearing from the wood, carrying a lot less rabbit, followed closely by the owner. :rofl:

Eventually she finishes the rabbit, he looks like a completely different man to the lovely amiable fella I said hello too. He looks at me, ruefully shaking his head and says "Don't you just hate that?" I had to walk away, almost crying with laughter. We then met another GR, Alby who promptly fell in love with Otter. A lovely placid boy...:rofl::rofl:

Oh heavens , this reminded me of Reuben , about 6/7 months ago, when he disturbed a buzzard who flew off leaving a freshly killed rabbit , which Reuben ate , swallowed it fur and all right in front of me . Straight to the Vets for a strong wormer , he had belly ache for an hour or two then passed furry poo ! I have since reinforced ( tried hard to ) the Leave It !

I can top the rabbit with a nice fresh deer head!! Hattie found one carried it around through the woods, I'm thinking crikey I can't walk back through the village with that hanging from her mouth. Luckily I had a bit of sausage in my pocket, I ran ahead and hid, she came after me struggling to carry the damn thing. Eventually she dropped the head, I threw the sausage ran back before Hattie beat me to it, grabbed it and lobbed the bloody deer head over a fence!! Hattie is normally such a lady! :rofl:x

I have been known to carry a sheep’s skull with teeth through our streets to home for Snowie’s gnawing enjoyment in the garden. It was either carrying it or having to wait for him to finish gnawing it on our walk. You’ve never seen him walk so beautifully all the way home.

Reminds me of the wild boar head (piglet) I had to lug back to civilisation so I could throw it in one of the street bins. There was no way my lot would have left that, and sadly no fences on the mountains to lob it over :D

This has also reminded me of @Joy and her Molly , when we met up at Golitha Falls with @Emily_Babbelhund . A sheep had recently drowned in the river , Molly went to investigate and pulled off a decomposing leg which she proudly carted around with her . That was bad enough, but she was very keen to keep showing us said manky leg , bringing it up close and personal , arent they disgusting at times ?:puke:

Carbon can't stand GRs for some reason. Maybe he knows all the clueless friendliness is hiding a vicious bunny-killer within.

On the other hand...

...Carbon would have eaten it too. Wouldn't have been any time for him to go Cujo on me because he would have swallowed it in one go. I despair of him, really I do. @kateincornwall 's Reuben found a nice piece of driftwood yesterday and Carbon not only took it off him but also ATE IT. I thought he was just chewing on it, but no: he's been vomiting wood chips since yesterday. Would make nice garden mulch.

I give up. :facepalm:
