Some smart squirrels

Our Border Collie, Twiggy, will lay out all day and watch the squirrels. In fact, she is absolutely obsessed by them. She doesn't move a muscle and then all of a sudden pounces when they get too close. It's funny to watch, but it's also funny to see how the squirrels adapt to the threat of having a 60-pound dog jump on them.

We put crackers out for the squirrels and they gladly come and eat. One squirrel, one dog -- pretty fair odds. Twiggy likes it anyway and that's what matters. However, throw in another squirrel or two and the dog loses her mind. She can't handle having more than one squirrel at a time -- I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't work for her.

Sometimes the squirrels toy with her. One will come down and trick the dog into chasing them and the other one will grab the food. Pisses the dog off to no end.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the squirrels.
