I think Sue may be referring to the Ground Hog incident.
When we were talking to the adopt-a-pet type lady, we got the story that these two dogs were strays in rural Ohio, and some lady had to try and lure them in over the course of many weeks.
This made me think that the dogs might have learned to live off the land, so to speak.
I'm sure that they don't know how to live of the land by this point.
A few weeks after we got the dogs, I was out of town. As told by my wife, her mother was at our house watching our kids in the back yard when she heard some agressive barking and possible some highly animated squealing coming from the front of the house.
As she quickly made her way to the front of the house, she saw Boone with his head streched out, and leaning back like in a tug of war.
A large ground hog was attached to his lower lip.
While this wouldn't necessarily create enough reverse force on Boone for a tug of war, the fact that Milo had the ground hog by the tail apparently trying to pull it off of his bro certainly would.
My mother in law yelled out and all parties kind of just stopped activity like the ringing of the bell at a boxing match.
Boone had to go to the vet just to get checked out; he's fine.
Now, I'm almost 100% sure that this ground hog still lives in our yard as there's a ground hog in that vicinity with a broken tail. I think all three of them are friends now.
These dogs seem to have two other obsessions being toads and grasshoppers.
Our house has a lot of concrete around it, and at dusk in the summer, we get a lot of toads coming out onto the concrete. These dogs find this so entertaining. Then tend to softly step on the given toad, and then roll him back. I try to break it up, but there's just too many toads and the dogs have free roam. A month or so back, Milo rolled a toad to the old dirt nap. He kept waiting for it to move again.
Regarding the grasshoppers, they seem to love trying to step on them also, for hours.
Pretty much, these two are a pair of wimps.
