LazyDaisy Aug 2018 8:22am, 13 Aug 2018 23,540 posts	0 LazyDaisy We used to have a rabbit in our garden last year (I think it was the Christopher Columbus of rabbits, exploring new worlds ;-)). Flossie would see it, charge out of the house making a big fuss so Bunny ran sideways into the flower beds while she ran straight past it down to the bottom of the garden; she would then saunter back up the garden, follow her nose into the same area of flowerbed but make no attempt to root through to the actual rabbit If we see rabbits on our walk, she'll lollop after them half-heartedly but she'd rather follow their scent, slowly

Sharkie Aug 2018 9:08am, 13 Aug 2018 13,630 posts	0 Sharkie Think I've mentioned this before, Jess will chase anything ....until it disappears into the undergrowth. The only exception she makes for the thus far and no further rule is if she catches scent of half a loaf or a bag of chips chucked into the bushes/rubbish tip/ underneath a car.

Sharkie Aug 2018 5:50pm, 13 Aug 2018 13,634 posts	0 Sharkie I was going to ask if anyone else has the c*t problem we do. They drive Jess INSANE. We both tried to desensitize her to them (grammar?) when she was young, but to no avail.

LazyDaisy Aug 2018 6:55pm, 13 Aug 2018 23,551 posts	0 LazyDaisy Oh yes, Flossie can saunter past squirrels, run past rabbits, but CATS Even the merest hint of a feline crossing the garden even down at the far end gets her virtually throwing herself at the French windows to get out. There was a most unfortunate time on our way home from a walk when (on-lead) she spotted a cat and I didn't. I ended up being pulled into a bush when I didn't let go of the lead fast enough
