Our Catahoula Dog surprised us last night. My mom took him out last night to help scare off TWO 5 week old coon babies. They were sooo slow climbing the tree. I was inside and was watching thru the window when he bout drug my Mom thru the yard and before she knew what was happening he latched onto the one baby on the tree and and flung it quarter distance across the yard. It laid there on its back a few seconds either stunned or hurt or maybe both.... I don't know. It got up and arched it back and hissed and snarled as best it's baby self could do. Then it again Slowly made its way up the tree to its sibling. I think the Mommy Coon was what I saw dead along the bridge the other day. Our dog surprised us so much, that when My Mom came back inside she said "I THINK HE WAS USED AS A HUNTING DOG before we got him!!!"
We got him from the shelter bout 3 years ago for $50. They caught him roaming around someone's yard, so it got us to thinking that whomever owned him before we did was useing him as a hunting dog when he probably got on the trail of something and wandered away and got lost...
