Squirrel Stand-Off


Not the world's greatest photo, but Ellie and a squirrel had a duel that lasted at least a half an hour. Our dog watches this squirrel out the back door every day. Every time she spots it, she goes tearing out the back door and chases it up a tree. The squirrel then spends the next 10 minutes "yelling" at the dog. EVERY day. On this particular day, Ellie chased the squirrel up the shed. They stood, as still as stone, for what seemed like hours! Occasionally, the squirrel would flick its tail or Ellie would wag hers. Otherwise, they just stared at each other. Then, a guy came to measure our windows. As he's standing in our bathtub with his tape measure, he turns to me and says, "Have you seen your dog?" She was still standing in the same spot! I have no idea how long she stood there, or who won the duel. Crazy mutt!
