We have a squirrel whose hobby is humilating the labradors.
When he get bored he will sit in the maple tree in the front yard and set up
this inane chattering and chittering. This will cause the labradors to leap up,
from a sound sleep, from the sofa that sits by the window where the tree is,
and rush out the back slider into the back yard. I swear the squirrel can see
them from the maple tree as it is on the same level as the sofa.
The labradors race around the back yard looking for the squirrel, come back in
, settle on the sofa, fall fast asleep and an hour or so later the squirrel
starts up again...

I'm waiting for winter and a long squirrely winter sleep.

I parked my boat on the shore one day and walked into the woods looking for
fishing bait. I came suddenly upon a squirrel. The squirrel ran up the tree,
lost his grip, feel about 15 feet onto me and we both screamed and ran
opposite directions.

Yes, a red squirrel chewed a hole in the screen on my screen
porch to get to the bird seed stored on the porch. When I
went to see what was going on, it charged at me! That darn
squirrel was really nasty. I backed into the house, went
around and opened the screen door so that the squirrel could
leave - it did eventually. Then I removed all bird seed to
a metal container with a secure lid, which I then placed in
the yard. No more nasty squirrels on the porch!

Last year someone posted on here squirrels eating baby birds, so frogs
might be on their diet list, but I imagine VERY low on the list. I feed the
squirrels peanuts so they shouldn't need the extra frog protein, I hope.

If they are hungry they will go after frogs a toads...not sure if
it is normal for all squirrels but the ones near our cottage do
it. After all, they are just Rats with good P.R.

"... rats with good PR"! Too true! I love it!

I have a squirrel that runs up a tree then turns "head down" on the trunk.
From that position, she chitters and snaps her tail at the dogs. She does
this about 6" above the maximum height they can achieve jumping at her . . .
it drives them NUTS. Squirrels "know" . . .
