I finally figured out why Jones likes to get up so early... He loves to get outside before daylight, so he can chase toads around in the yard. I was worried because he bites them, but it seems he has not gotten ill, in spite of their supposedly bad taste.
We are going to have to do some more "leave it" training though. The abundance of fresh baby birds and the fact that they flutter as they try to escape has made all of the dogs begin to ignore me when I try to call them off.
Cristi has a tough time with them being carnivores, because they will catch and eat almost anything that ventures into their realm.
Yesterday, the Mockingbirds were raising hell... I think they lost a whole hatch in a few minutes...
