caught Muttley in the act of once again cracking open his
"oyster" to get at the furry critter that had probably been inside. This
time he did not do as much damage, but I let him know I didn't like his
behavior, and I put the trap back, trying to make it even harder for him to
get at.

Where on earth do you think it's fair or reasonable to use a live catch
trap, and expect a dog, who you've ENCOURAGED to kill mice, to leave it
alone? What do you think he thinks you're scolding him for? Truly
Paul, you've hit a new low.
