This Morning's Walk

took the day off. The boys were very excited about something that jumped in the water here. They're also feeling very proud of their hunting prowess after what happened yesterday.

Some little kamakaze squirrel kept following us toward the end of our dinnertime walk. I tried to keep the boys away, but the little squirrel kept pressing his luck, which eventually ran out. I got Bean to drop it, but too late. Then Wally wouldn't let go after he grabbed it. A nice neighbor saw the commotion and brought some dog treats to distract him. Eventually we were able to get him to drop it, but somehow he managed to eat a few treats while the squirrel was still in his mouth. I called the vet, but they didn't seem too concerned about the adventure. Just to be sure, I also called the Health Dept, but same response there. Apparently squirrels pose little threat to pets, but probably more to themselves.
