Not The Best Of Hunters

I know I should stop comparing Brooklyn and Kai to Tristen. I just cannot help it for some reason. To be fair, Brooklyn did catch a baby bird as a 5 month old puppy and one not to long ago. She did not kill that one. My brother actually saved the baby bird and tried to give it back to its mother. You know what happens to baby animals once they come in contact with humans. It seems most of the time they get abandoned. The mother did seem to hang around from up above because they baby bird obviously could not fly. It seems it failed its first flying test and Brooklyn did not help. Which is no wonder the baby bird came wondering back in yard and Kai did kill it. We tried, and that was low hanging fruit for Kai. Put a rabbit in front of Brookyn and Kai and they have no chance. Brooklyn is damn near agile as a cat, but lacks speed. Kai has the speed, but is clumsy as heck. That is why it was so funny the other day when I took them on their walk. A bunny rabbit shoots across 2 feet in front of me. Lagging behind Brooklyn and Kai, both crying because the bunny rabbit was to fast for them. Something Tristan would never do. If he could not catch them, he just pretend he was really running to pee on a bush. Again, to be fair. Tristan was to old to teach either one how to hunt. His legs were going out on him when we acquired Brooklyn. He was crippled by the time we acquired Kai. I guess, it really does show, sometimes you either have it or you do not. No one taught Tristan how to hunt, but he was a straight up killer to rodents.
