I had to help a little, but she got him! I had let the other two horses outside and was in the stall with the last horse when I heard a little bang against the stall door next door. I knew the horses were not in there so the only one that could be was Kali, who was in the barn with me. I suspected she had a mouse!
When I came out of the stall, she had her nose to the bottom of that stall door and I knew she had something! She would not take her eyes off of it. I took the last horse outside and came back, ready for a fight! Lol I thought, if there is something in there, I'm going to let her get it. I wanted her to have a win! Kind of like having a search dog always find the body and you want them to find a live person once in awhile. I know it's not the same thing but she has searched out mice before and never got them. So this time I wanted her to have the prize! So I quickly slid the door closed, thinking it would expose the little mouse. But OMG, he just hung onto the inside of the door! Amazing! So I had to do a different tactic. I wish I could have had somebody video tape while I helped her but it wasn't possible. I ended up taking her inside the stall with me because he was very close to the opening. When I close the door again he popped out and ran into the stall where Kali quickly got him! It didn't take but a second. And he was a goner. She was very proud of herself. I wouldn't let her near it after it was gone because I thought maybe she wanted to eat it! I would have none of that LOL but I'm glad she finally got one!
