[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1744506, member: 8202"] I forgot to say, Maggie weighed 76 pounds when we took her in for her shots and wellness check. (She is VERY "well!") She has to be well over 80 pounds by now, and just over 9 months old. I certainly hope I never have to pick her up! LOL! But BIG news! She made her first "official" kill a few days ago! Sometime between the time we went out for evening chores and when it got dark enough to go shut up the chicken coop (maybe an hour) she killed a skunk right out in the grass between the house and the barns. Unfortunately, I didn't see the whole thing transpire, but I happened to look out the window and there was "something" out there, but the light was dim and I couldn't see what it was. When the hubby went out to lock up the chickens, he found a very dead skunk with a bloody neck, where she'd apparently grabbed and shaken it, then gave it a bit of chewin' for good measure. AND NO SMELL! How does a "baby" dog know how to kill a skunk without getting sprayed? And her first time! I'm still amazed. Our older dog has never, ever considered skunks to be something to be run off or killed (he's hell on coyotes, though), so it's been live and let live between him and the skunks since day one. But Maggie held that one skunk at bay when she was little, while her daddy went and got his gun and blew it away, so maybe she got the message that we don't like skunks around here. That's all I can figure, but whatever it is, I'M SO HAPPY! Skunks have been my bane for so long... I'm just SO proud of her! I wish I could have seen the takedown. Maybe next time. :) [/QUOTE]
