Our mighty hunters

Gleann nearly caught a mink this morning. We have mink that catch the crayfish in our pond, usually the best Gleann ever gets is to make them splash as they hide in the cattails when we go by. But this one must have been far more out and Gleann might even have momentarily caught a hold of her or him. It squealed and contorted and flew up a bit before splashing into the pond. He doesn't seem to have been bit but he is somewhat smelly. They're not as pungent as they're skunk cousins but they have some scent and it was also in the air in the area after this.

I was attached to Òrlaith and Cù by leash and I have to say they're both strong but Cù is an utter ox. I nearly lost him during this and had a real time getting him by the spot. However, Òrlaith was a bit predatory towards the now mink smelly Gleann as well.
