Our Honey Badger, Buster, also likes flies.My dog's discovered that he loves the juicy little buggers.
There's something deeply satisfying about buzz, buzz, buzz, chomp, silence.
It was funny at first. Seeing him chomping the air, and occasionally catching one. Then minutes later, seeing him kiss the face of one of the 3 leeches who hadn't seen him catch the fly.
Now, at 13 years old, you have to be careful the daft little bastard doesn't scramble over our Indonesian mahogany furniture in an attempt to catch, and usually miss, a bluebottle, knocking ornaments, cups etc out of the way.
Plus the leeches have moved out so that aspects gone too.
