Chippy hunting

Our Chihuahua-Pug mix dog (Flea) is a tireless & occasionally, successful hunter. She has brought us many small critters; but her passion is hunting chipmunks. She has enlisted our 2 other dogs in the art of laying siege to a chippie holed up in a wood pile. They're all very focused &, happily, unsuccessful.
Tonight after supper Flea & Abuelo went out back & soon I heard that special bark that Flea gives when she's trapped a chippie. And then, I heard Abuelo give a bark. He never barks! I went out back & there are the 2 of them circling the wood pile nose to the ground sniffing & barking. Abuelo's style needs some refining but he was obviously into the game & willing to learn from the master (er, mistress). What a hoot!! ;)
