Today Chima and Salinas had sniffed out a mouse in the bamboo thicket. They were running around crazily, as they do, barking and screaming like someone was torturing them. Lizzy thought it was a really exciting game of chase and would follow them everyone jumping in their face and trying to see if maybe they wanted to wrestle instead.
This is how she has always been when the girls are crittering, however today she finally awoke the terrier within and all of a sudden, instead of just chasing the other dogs, she was climbing into the bamboo after the mouse.
This girl is a machine! Chima and Sal, bless their hearts, are not the best of hunters. They are all noise and bluster and get so worked up that they are clumsy and spastic in their efforts. While Lizzy didn't catch anything this time, she has the makings of a great ratter. She was quiet, coordinated, and fast. With practice she will be amazing.

Even Chima and Sal were impressed with her ability to get all the way into the middle of the bamboo and they let her have the job of flushing the critter out while they waited on the edge to "catch" anything that ran out.

Good job, Lizzy!
