Squirrel Up A Pole

Went to take Cabal out for a walk and though he loves to chase cats, he doesn't seem to be interested chasing squirrels (although, he will bark at brown-headed cowbirds at the feeder, so he's not all bad).

When we passed by the feeders, two squirrels ran for the woods. A third ran up the bird feeder pole and up into the raccoon baffle. Cabal trotted past, not noticing the quivering piece of metal tubing meant to keep squirrels and raccoons from reaching the bird feeder. As Cabal forged ahead, I took a moment to snap a photo of the squirrel:

The squirrel eventually scrambled down and joined his companions in the woods.

My dogs come unglued when squirrels tease them from tree limbs or power lines! Kathy

Aaaawww . . . we always have squirrels and chipmunks running up our baffle. Now I know what they look like up there.

Least Cabal isn't a papillon, their is a reason why they are called squirrel dogs and not just because of their fluffy tail. Mine is squirrel and rabbit crazed. I don't let him get near any pet rabbits. Least Cabal is exercising the cats. Hopefully a few swipes with claws full out will teach him to leave the cats alone. Acourse mine has never learned.
