Gunny The Sniper

[GunnyHighway]

Gunny is amazing at catching (and eating) flies minding their own business flying past his head in mid air. He goes into what I call "sniper mode" and sits just watching it till it gets close enough to bite/catch out of the air. He is now even going after low crawling bugs of any type. Crickets, lady bugs, or anything on air, land, and sea. I am assuming this is common for bulldogs? My wife thinks it is gross as he eats them but I die laughing watching him go into sniper mode.

Let me guess, his cousin is a cat? and his grandpa a huntin dog ?

 

[KarenP]

Yup... mine does that too. But I'm like your wife and think it's gross and freak out lol

 

[DudleysMom]

Dudley tries but he usually doesn't catch them. But, he sure does a lot of stalking! Good for Gunny...he's gettin' it done!

 

[Lokismom]

Loki tried but fails most of the time but it is funny to watch. My thought is if it were that gross he wouldn't do it.

I like the way you think.

Winston does it too... he ate a cricket & water beetle yesterday before dinner!!!

Harlea used to play with bugs and files.... Now all she is interested in outside are the frogs that come out at night. She like to hop after them and pick them up and move them back to the lighted area of the yard.

..good source of protein!

Mine do not have that talent; which is unfortunate b/c I could use the help with these pesky flies in my house!

 

[truffle shuffle]

Chunk chases and tries to snipe... but sloppy aim gets him no bugs!!

 

[Jennifer Clark]

Sheldon does this accept he doesn't eat them he just likes to kill them then we have to throw them away.

Here's an idea, after eating all those insects, I suggest brushing Gunny's teeth...... Just like my own, and I had a hard time teaching this to Rocky and Rambo, But they finally got the idea. See I started out with this electric tooth brush, and there's the pet tooth paste aat pet smarts and Amazon and many other places, BUT DO NOT USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE !! Okay, so after the diet of insects comes the teeth Brushing, if you think Gunny's fast with the flies and bugs, "YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET" fire up the electric tooth brush, and please share the video with us!! Thnx

Norm eats flies too! He gets all huffy like them coming any where near his "personal space" is a total affront to his delicate sensibilities. His personal space usually encompasses the entire couch.
