Dakota and the Squirrels

Dakota AKA The KING is a RAT

Terrier.

He was named justly so since he was

breed to hunt rats, and critters

such as them....like a squirrel.

 

Now keep in mind that The KING has put

on some weight and so he does not

run near fast enough to catch the squirrel before

they run up the tree.

But, Dakota thinks the use of a lawn chair

will help him in the aid of catching that

said squirrel.

 

 

He can even sat down on the job!

 

"Hey wait, where are you going? If you move

to that tree I can't continue to sat in the chair"!!

 

Now to tell a funny story on Dakota...

Last week while at my mom's he goes to the

back screen door and with the other dogs he

begins to bark. Mom lets him out and she

said he was running so fast that his feet

never touched the steps as he flew off

the deck!

I can see that now.

There were a couple of squirrel in her backyard that

he had his sites set on.

He hits the yard running, they take off running,

they manage to squeeze through the diamond shaped

openings on the fence and keep going.

I guess Dakota either did not stop to think

or just figured he could make it through also.

 

BAM! Knocked him back about six

or seven inches.....

LOL...way to go KING.

 

Yesterday here in Nashville it was 70 degrees,

4 days before Christmas....today, high of

35 degrees. Crazy weather.

 

Dakota and I went walking through the yard and

I look up and spy this...

It was hard to tell what it was at first but

then I realized it was a SQUIRREL

hugging the branch....

first thought was, is he hiding from

Dakota?

 

Then later in the day off the deck I

see this guy hiding while he feeds

off the birdfeed!

 

He saw me and jumped down and

out Dakota went....

not fast enough yet again.

 

Thank you for stopping in,
