Everytime I go outside, Bingeaux has to come with me and check the yard to make sure I'm safe. I guess he thinks I can't take care of myself. I thought I was a big boy, but I guess he doesn't think so.  He has a pattern he runs in the yard and he checks all 4 corners. If I manage to go outside without him, he will sit at the door and look out the window and yip. It's not like he has to go to the bathroom everytime I go outside and 95% my wife is still inside so it's not like he's lonely. I'm not complaining, I just think it's funny that a 15 pound rattie thinks he needs to protect a 6'2" 200 pound man.

He has been unsuccessful in actually catching the squirrels at our place. He has pretty much run them all off because I don't see them around much anymore. He has gotten close at my in-law's house. Suprisingly, neither one of my in-law's ratties had much interest in chasing squirrels or even being outside much. He does have a couple of possum kills under his belt. One was at my house and the other was at my in-laws. Once he saw them, there was no stopping him. He also flushed a rabbit at a friend of our's house, but I think he wanted to play with it.  He never really ran hard after it and he didn't have that same look that he had with the possums. There are quite a few deer that roam the property behind ours and he likes to stand at the fence and bark at them. He's pretty tough as long as that fence is between them.

Kasey likes to be on guard all the time.... he hasn't killed anything yet.... but runs them off... and he doesn't like it when a stray dog comes around his area...   when he gets in his protective mode it's hard to get his attention....  Indy on the other hand....  I've had him for a month or so now, and he is much more laid back....  He lets Kasey do his job. lol
