We had an "exciting" weekend....we were invited to my elder daughter's for dinner and visiting on Sunday. Just after we arrived the dogs ( Scout and Harper) came charging into the house , Harper was carrying something in her mouth with a gray tail. Luckily she dropped it. It was a half eaten young squirrel. All that was left was the tail, hind quarters and the "guts"... yuck. I got it into the trash much to the dogs' dismay. They then spent quite a bit of time trying to find another.
Dinner was great and not too hot!
Monday we were invited again for dinner. While sitting out on the deck the dogs discovered that another squirrel was in the tree just off of the deck. They tried to climb the tree... pulled down the lowest branches and low and behold the squirrel fell... landing dazed on the ground.
The dogs went ape... our daughter got them by the collars... and Bob got the squirrel into a bucket. It was sort of alive and tossed it into the woods behind the back fence.
The dogs spent the rest of the evening watching the tree hoping for another until some sort of noise came from behind the fence... and their attention moved there. If they could have climbed over the 8 foot fence they would have.
Dinner great again... fingers crossed the squirrels are smart enough to leave that tree and move to someone else's tree!!
