When we moved here last fall the extreme amount of squirrel activity
interested Monty the Golden, but he's since moved on to chasing bunnies,
doesn't bother with the squirrels at all. (We have black, red and grey
squirrels as well as pine squirrels who have a crabby attitude!) I'm sure
once Monty realizes he cannot catch the bunnies either, he'll say stuff it
I'll stick to my tennis balls. Does anyone else have squirrels drink from
their ponds?


btw......I'll take the Ms Bullfrog, one of mine moved on and the other died
last Friday. So we haven't any frogs at all now.

Set down the watergardening labradors tonight and read them this new
story.

A Council Bluffs, Iowa, man learned the hard way - don't mess with the
city's black squirrels. Billy G. Cates, 18, was fined $325 last Tuesday
for
letting loose his dog "with the intent to annoy, worry, maim, injure or
kill
the squirrel," according to the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil and the
Omaha
World-Herald.

The girls and I discussed their habit of finding the squirrel in the trees
and
harrassing and annoying and worrying him until he runs away to the big
pine
tree.
'This has got to stop', says I. 'At $325 a day, that's a lot of kibble I'm
not
going to be able to buy you.'
They tried to convince me that but for their constant vigilance the
squirrel
would have moved in, evicted the family from hearth and home, eaten all
the dog
cookies and drunk all my coffee. They stood between us and utter ruin.
I told them I wasn't buying it.
And if they really wanted to chase something they could mount a pursuit of
the
Lady Bullfrog in the Frog Bog.
