Our terriers are ever so resourceful. If they can't find any deer or squirrels to chase, they move on to even smaller critters. Lizards, in particular, have been their target lately. Our resident lizards like to use the pool fencing as their highway, of sorts, to get from the yard onto the patio in pursuit of a buggy meal. Now it's a death road for the unlucky ones.
Since master hunter Finn the Fierce discovered the lizard path, he's always on the lookout for them. As you can see below, he's quite vocal when he locates one. Most of the time the lizards are wily enough to freeze and wait him out in order to make an escape. However, a couple times they've gotten caught and paid the price. We've had to toss a few lifeless lizards over the side fence after Finn was finished with them. This usually involves bribing our great cairn hunter with a treat to make him drop his victim. If a zombie lizard apocalypse ever happens, y'all, I'm all set with my terrier protection.
