Squirrel and da Dogs

This is a story of a squirrel...

squirrel

And 2 dogs...

Emmett and Jupiter

Our story begins when brave little squirrel makes his approach to the deck, even though the scary dogs are there...

Okay, maybe those dogs aren't THAT scary...

They were scary enough to spook squirrel away for a little while. When he came back, the dogs had switched spots...

[Cue Mission Impossible music]

I'll let squirrel tell the rest of the story...

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: No animals were harmed in the taking of these photographs. Two dogs, however, were laughed and pointed at by their owners for their obliviousness.

Dad, this one's for you, since several of these pictures distracted me while we were talking on the phone this morning. This makes it all worth it, right?

Squirrel tells a story

Hello. I am the cute, sweet, demure little squirrel who comes to visit Heather's feeders sometimes.

My favorite feeder to visit right now is the platform feeder, which I can reach nicely from the railing!

Lemme see what I can find in here...

Ah yes, I found a very nice little seed here. Nom nom nom nom...

No, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to share it with you!

Sometimes I stretch just a little bit too far in search of my spoils.

And I start to lose my footing.

No problem! I'll just try again!

Oof - face plant! At least this time I landed on the railing instead of in the tree.

Maybe it will work better if I just get in the durn thing!

I think maybe that lady with the camera can't see me if I get behind these metal things....

But just in case she can, I will show her my best side!

Oh dear, I think I had too much birdy seed to eat... I think I might be sick. But don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow!
