So, I guess the Shiba Inu does retain some of that hunting instinct, even though the breed is mostly kept as a companion and house pet. Ike guards the Quail area religiously when he is outside, and today it paid off! They caught some rats (and ate the tail off of this one before I could toss it away).

Weekly Shibatudes: A Rat
Beebe and Ike have a new favorite game. We call it, "Get that Rat" and it's immediately followed by Shiba screams and a frantic attempt to locate the Rat that has been seeking to burrow beneath my Quail pen. We have greatly enjoyed this new game ever since the discovery of a break in and one badly maimed hen and missing eggs. As poisons are out of the question, I'm trying some natural pest control and using my Shiba girl in a role she is well suited to, after all, they are excellent vermin hunters. They excel at killing laser lights, anyways. Once again, my neighbors must think I am incredibly cruel beating my dogs until they holler :)
