Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ralphie was just outside doing his business and came running back into the house with this in his mouth. What the heck is it from. It was frozen but thawed almost immediately and blood starting coming out of the "flesh" end. I can't be a cat, and seems to small for a dog. I put the lighter for size reference and it is in the ziploc bag. Anyone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well how the heck did a squirrel lose it's tail? Do they fall off or should I be worried about something that can bite a squirrel tail off. I don't think it was Ralphie, but hey, he does chase them.

Cats and dogs sometimes catch the squirrels they chase. If it was frozen then it's likely someone else removed it and Ralph just found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Maybe it froze and broke off? A victem of the ice storm? Kidding.,. Their tails don't stay on very well. If Ralphie got a tail in his mouth, it would pop off easily.. I've been carrying them by their tails before and had the tail snap off, just from the weight from the squirel.
