Apparently slugs are beneath the notice of a Shiba Inu.

| Oh my gosh! A huge Banana Slug! |

| Zuko: "huh?" |

| Zuko! That slug is gonna getcha! |
I tried to get Zuko to look at it, sniff it. Nothing. He sat and watched the woods for more dangerous things. After the slug's antennae touched Zuko's foot, the slug retreated a bit. Zuko was still looking around at the woods and looking at me like I was an idiot.
The he stood up and before I could stop him, he stepped on the slug's head. THEN he noticed it for a second and trotted away.

-- Posted by Zuko's mom. I regret that a slug was harmed in the making of this blog post.
That's horrible, good thing Zuko hurriedly noticed it. Anyways your dog is very nice and cute.
ReplyDeleteEw. Thanks for not sharing a picture of the slug's squashed head.
ReplyDeleteThat slug... *shiver*

@Stem Cell Therapy - Thank you for the compliment! Later in the hike I was able to save another slug. Zuko never noticed it but didn't step on it either.
ReplyDelete@Shibasenji - you know, it did cross my mind to take the picture to complete the "documentation"...but only for a second!
@Pupchow - wow!! Thank you! Tomorrow I will work up my return awards! Thank you very much. It is cool to know that folks enjoy the blog.
Banana slug?! I have never seen that before. "Eeeew!" for us, but not for Shibas, huh...
ReplyDelete@nobuko - can you believe a school here has the banana slug as their mascot? http://www.goslugs.com/ Banana slugs are pretty common here. These were *smallish* compared to some I've seen. Ick.
ReplyDeletethats an awesome looking slug!
ReplyDeleteyou know, none of our dogs ever notice caterpillars, centipedes or even snakes!!
