I am actively engaged in an experiment; for the last few days I have been having some "big mice" gnawing overhead in my attic. Its no big secret that out here in the country, "big mice" have a tendency to try to make your nice warm home a free place hang out in.The scratching and chewing has pretty much been driving the wife and I crazy, so we did some research online and then released our secret weapon...Issac.
I got Kenworth who is a retired Rabbit dog (Basset Hound) and Bailey who is a Black Lab that is scared of water. Then there is Issac. He is a Miniature Schnauzer who pretty much is a lap dog. Still his breed was bred to hunt rats on ships because of their small size and gentle demeanor when not on the hunt.
Anyway we called the Vet and he said not only is it okay for Issac to go on the hunt, it would be good for him, its what he was meant to do and release some of his energy. So as I type this is is running around in my attic on the hunt for these rodents. From the sounds of it (rumbling and walking overhead) he's doing pretty good.
