Squirrels

At the new house I have a backyard which is fantastic for the dog. She is loving the chance to chase the squirrels and since we put out corn for them to eat there is always a plethora of them for her to chase.

I love it when she chases them. She bounds out of the door and gives cute little barks and chases them up the fence in the yard. She then glares at them until the go over the fence. Sometimes the just hangout on top of the fence and terrorize her until she gives up and starts wandering in the yard. I find so much joy in all of this. I just laugh when she chases them. It is really cute.

There are a few other things I have learned about squirrels lately. When they bark at you it sounds like a broken dog and it never stops. When they are getting frisky it is typically in a pack of two boys and a girl or I assume that is the ratio but I guess it could be two girls and a boy. However it is almost always a threesome. So strange. But the biggest novelty is the size of the squirrel nuts on boy squirrels. They are huge and seem to be way out of proportion for their little tiny bodies. They have scared my eyes forever. I was so traumatized the first time I realized that wasn't just the tail it was super large nuts! On that note I think I am going to leave with that image in your head. I bet you can't wait until tomorrow. Me either
