Default Not a disaster but ....

We had a battle in the yard yesterday. We have a lot of muskrat here at the lake lately and my little Rat Terrier (runt of the litter) went tooth and claw with one and he shook the muskrat so hard he broke it?s back. My pup (now going on 11 years) has always had a hind quarters that didn?t quite work right and in the exertion it appears to the vet he got a pinched nerve in his back end. He?s getting around very gingerly and resting a lot. The muskrat got in some good bites and got him in the nose and mouth but those battle wounds patched up okay.

I finished the muskrat off with a .22 but it wasn?t really needed. The pup had done his job well.

I was proud of the little stinker. That monster got in his yard and he was determined to protect mom and dad to the death.
