The Face of a Killer


Scruff killed the duckling.

We are all pretty sad here. Lots of we should ofs too. I should of locked up the ducking with it's mum when I found it wandering the yard earlier in the day. Peter should of locked it in when he found it wandering in the front garden a little later. I don't think Scruff would of gone into the duck shed and taken the duckling, nor would she have taken it if it was with it's mum. I thought that ducklings like chicks stay close to their mum, obviously not

Scruff had never shown a killer side before. She's gentle with the kids and she only chased the chooks once and lost interest after the chickens started jumping up into the trees and ignoring her.

I can't trust Scruff in the garden on her own now. For such a little dog she can jump! And has worked out how to jump the gates. I have to tie her up now. It's true you really cant 100% trust a dog with another animal or child.

Oh dear....I suppose Scruff was only doing what a dog's got to do but it's still sad.

Oh Sweetie I am sorry to hear about the duckling. I am sorry that Scruff has also learned how to jump the gates, crafty isn't she! Hugs.
