So I look outside this afternoon when I hear Dakota back talk to Demon. I can tell she's guarding something so I ask hubby to go out and take a look. He head's out, Dakota takes her prize and runs...when he finally sees what it is (a dead bird ) he gets rid of it.

Since Dakota had it in her mouth, is there anything I should do to clean her mouth out?

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure much worse things have been in their mouths! lol.

Siku ate the head off a squirrel once. Yuck! I had to fight her to get the rest of the body away from her.

This happened to me a few years back while walking Mya. I didn't see the dead pigeon and she picked up! She wouldn't put it down and was just walking with it in her mouth like it's all good. I don't even know how I got her to drop it! Ewwwwwwwwwww nasty!!!!!!!!

Her mouth should be fine. You don't need to worry too much. Welcome to my world. I have some kind of dead animal telling maggie to leave it, everyday.

lol glad to know I'm not the only one. To my knowledge this is the first time...aside from bugs.

We get this all the time with Ghost too. I would be grateful she didn't eat it, and not worry about it!

When my aunt was watching Kiara for a few months, she would let her eat the birds that would always fall out of their multiple bird houses... Kiara would kill them and bury them and play with them... Then started eating them, then the vet said it could cause worms exc. So we put an end to that... I also catch her chewing on mice sometimes, its so gross... She doesn't even eat them, she just chews on them like gum.

My boy ate a fish bone...The dummies who fish in the park threw it and he got it, I had to reach in his throat, I pulled out a six inch fish bone..Scared me..And my hand stunk for about 3 hours..

wonder if dakota killed it... she should be fine!
