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.

stefonline: I think it's a fab idea.....
A rabbit, maybe...I think the only way I'd handle one of them is with a shovel. I just might do it with the next squirrel if they get another...handling it into a bag sucked.
I've got a pretty strong stomach...blood and guts don't bother me...but dead animals are apparently beyond my limits, even when there are no blood and guts. It was a good, clean kill, btw. I have to give him credit there.

Hi, Sis across the pond!

druidess6308: Thanks, V! First thing this big that they've caught. I can handle the field mice, and I can handle the birds...but the squirrel was big in comparison. And a bit scarier if it was only playing dead...no missing guts or skin breaks to make sure. I kicked it first to make sure it was dead...yep, stiff, so I presume it's a dead squirrel inside plastic bags and my trash can in the garage.
If not, I hope that they can catch it again and make sure this time.
hope you took it outside to the garbage cause it can start stinking If not, I hope that they can catch it again and make sure this time.

OK...so I now need to move my garbage can outdoors? Thank you...I just hope it doesn't blow away. That's a danger here, which is why I keep it inside the garage door.

C'mon over, g/f...and bring your boxing gloves too...might take both of us if they decide to come over the fence...that's if they make it past the dogs. You'll be fine 'cuz you'll be coming from the house, and that means I let you in...but neighbors climbing at us over the fence will be a sign for attack to my dogs. ------ This thread is Archived ------

The danged hunter isn't quite so wee, LL.
He's almost up to my hip, and weighs about 65 lbs. (Not sure of that in kilos.)I'm doing well...and better now that the squirrel is not only disposed of, but Robbie and everyone made me laugh so hard I was crying...stomach even feels better now.

stefonline: Just put gloves on and grab the dang thing and sling it over the fence....
I have done that with s dead mouse outside my back door.
I am not sure where it came from (this mouse) it had a huge stomack ,so I hope it wasn't pregnant
Anyway my dog was sniffing the damn thing and I had to take action.Well I ran into the kitchen and got 3 supervalue bags and scoped the dead mouse up. No flippen way was that going into my bin. So I threw it in2 the neighbours garden. He had passed away and the house was vacant ,so I took advantage of that fact

Remember i am always available for advice.
Some of it might make you spit your drink out, but the core plastic bag advice was sane!
I was thinking about a rodent on a stick gag and giving it to someone with eyesight problems and suggesting you tell them it was a new type of candy floss.
Hell it might be worth a try with the next one, look for the dumb kid in the neighbourhood next time

Yes, that was sane advice...and the rest, I knew better than to be drinking as I read it.
I'm not taking chances on angry moms in my neighborhood...never know what they might do!

Yes, it is, Stef...and it sure helped me to deal with this issue. I felt kind of dumb putting it up here, but it really did help.

Positive! But I'll be watching my dogs for it, now.------ This thread is Archived ------

Yeah, the rabbits are still stupid enough to come in occasionally, even without veggies to tempt them. Lemon verbena must be attractive to them.
I was out back having a smoke the other night when I saw a small white dot followed by my large male black shadow streak by...I figured the white dot was a rabbit tail. Laughed my butt off...but I wouldn't be laughing too hard if he actually caught it. Especially after reading Robbie's post about the tape worms. I can't afford to treat them for it right now.
I'll get the rest of the low ground spaces filled up this weekend...hopefully before they catch a rabbit. The boys can help me move dirt, rocks, and whatever else we can find until there aren't any big enough spaces for the rabbits.
