I need advice and help with this, please... (116)
druidess6308: and don't laugh too hard at me for asking here.
My male lab/doberman just finally killed the squirrel that's been driving them both nuts for a year...and he's carrying it around like a toy, which means he'll try to bring it in with him.
How do I dispose of the squirrel? Getting it off of him shouldn't be an issue...he recognizes me as the alpha and gives things up to me, and I can take his food away...and I feed raw. It's things like, is it okay for me to touch it or do I need to wear gloves, and could it be playing dead for a long time, or is it really dead? I sure don't want to get bit.
This is the stuff I wish I had a man around for. I've gotten used to the dead mice and birds, but the squirrel is beyond me.

USThumper: Let him eat it
He's not...that's the problem. He's just lying there with it, and carrying it around like he does the toys when he comes near me. 
If he ate the darned thing, I wouldn't have an issue.

By the way, been a while since I went hunting with the neighbors for one when we were growing up...I'd forgotten how big they are close up.

Here's what you do, hand inside a plastic bag if your worried about blood,disease,dog slobber and then pick the poor thing up.
Turn bag inside out, so it's now inside the bag and then in the bin.
Failing that if you see a passing redneck just yell "lunch" and throw it at him.
They love roadkill.........just don't tell him the dogs been chewing it.

If you live where there is some woods or open land, just toss it in the woods. something will eat it------ This thread is Archived ------

Use gloves,and either bury it away from the dogs or put it in a bag and dispose of it. Squirrills are a big carrier of fleas also.

It is quite dead, squirrels normal do not pose health issues. Thay are also very good when cooked properly

Robbie, the redneck part killed me! I'd have to travel, but not far, to find one of them. I'd have to take it to the VFW or Croatian Club...there are several that hang out in each. And I'm not traveling with it in my car! 
Thank you...the plastic bag trick will work, if I can get my stomach to deal with this.
Maybe I'll get lucky and find that one of my neighbors is around shortly. Yep...when it comes to this, I'm a girl. I can laugh while he's carrying it around and it's intact...but to touch it will make me want to gak.

Thanks...I haven't had flea issues with them so far, but that tells me it has worms, and I need to dispose of it before he does decide to eat it.

Nope...fenced in yard in a suburban neighborhood. Woods are too far away.

USThumper: Hey, that tenderizes it.
I have an idea.
Wait for a redneck, pour some BBQ sauce on it and them throw it into the air like you do with a dogs toy followed by "fetch boy".
Do the same thing with the hillbilly and i bet when the smell of BBQ sauce and dead animal hits his nostils he will catch the rodent in his mouth just like a bloodhound!
"Fetch boi......yep daddas got a meal for cha......roadkill suppa for one ya cross eyes black toothed halfwit"

Thank you, Conrad...except that bleach kills other things, and I plant organic herbs for medicinal purposes.
Apparently, I'm going to have to suck it up and use a plastic bag.
Ick. Gak. My stomach is already revolting, which is why I can't even use the vomit emoticon.------ This thread is Archived ------

I hope so...and extra garlic for the dogs on their food tonight.

I feel for you, Dru...I don't think I could bring myself to do it! If they're smaller than my pinkie toe, I can deal with them (roaches, for example). Bigger than that and I'm knocking on my neighbor's doors or calling a male friend and pleading for assistance!

I cant think of anything else. Maybe he will dig a hole and bury it? I dont know if he likes to dig. The plastic bag is the best other option I see. good luckThank you...the plastic bag trick will work, if I can get my stomach to deal with this.
