Rat Hunt - Part 2

Yesterday was a picture post and here's the video's.  As you can see this was lots of fun for everyone!
 
 
Soos checking out the landscape...
 
 
Good boy Soos - he's doing a great job moving through and around the bales of hay.  Hey look, there's the rat...
 
 
Way to go Soos - he touches the back side of the rat tube.  Then Catty distracts him!  She didn't want to wait her turn.
 
Soos really impressed us!  Thinking back to how nervous he was when he came to us, it's hard to believe he's the same dog.  Soos is a poster pup of why foster care can be so important for a dog.  I have no doubt this boy is going to continue to blossom!
 
 
Catty's ready to hunt! This was her second turn...
 
 
This was her 3 or 4th turn and Lindy had to make the finds harder.  The tube you see is a decoy (no rat in it).  The tube with the rat is buried next the hay bale and the wall, where Catty focuses her attention.  D'light is just wandering around and that was great for him!
 
 
You can see Catty knows where the rat is hiding - she's just figuring out how to get it out!
 
 
Harder finds and she's really working her brain and body!
 
 
I'm watching D'light looking around and then I see goofy Catty still working!
 
 
This might have been her favorite find!  Way up high - you go Catty girl!
 
 
Time to go... Catty wasn't ready!
 
 
 
This was a new experience for all three dogs and they all did magnificent.  And what does all that hunting get... a bunch of tired rat terriers!
 
worn out boys


I have no doubt Catty will be up for another round of rat hunting!
