Rookie the bird dog...

[Dani]

Rookie always cracks me up. We were sitting on the deck of my friend's house the other night, and the pigeons really like to tease him. Well, one not so smart pigeon flew a little too close to Mr. Rook who subsequently leaped up and snatched him right out of the air!!! We were all amazed and stunned at the same time.

Not Mr. Rook. He was the proudest little bird dog you could have ever met...pranced around the yard with his prize and didn't let Rider or Drake near his possession. So, I had to snap this picture (it's linked from facebook for those of you who have that site blocked at work).



He's so proud, and I am still laughing about it.

Great picture.
Question is....did Rookie eat the pigeon???

Cool picture! Did he eventually let it go?

That would have been hysterical to see! Too funny.

Dani,
That is pretty neat, I'm so glad you were able to get a picture!

Poor pidgeon. Nice catch though! Macy caught a bird mid-flight in the backyard not too long ago.

Cool.

Cool picture! Did he eventually let it go?

Uh...sure...but it didn't get away breathing.
