This little fella spent the afternoon in my yard.

Putting himself in grave danger, but providing hours of entertainment for the huskies! Prey driven, no, not my dogs!:rolleyes:

He did escape to safety or at least the other side of the fence while I distracted the dogs with dinner!
Isn't he cute! I know people who have gotten squirrels in their attics don't think they are so cute, but this one is precious!! We have some smart squirrels at our house...They seem to know that Boomer is young and inexperienced in chasing them, and that Cassie is old and just can't move as fast anymore (although at 14, she'll still give chase!) so they just sit and eat their nuts within a very short distance of the dogs. I bet he entertained your dogs all day! Thanks for sharing!
Those pictures are AWESOME!! How in the world did you get such great pictures of that cute thing? Isn't it adoreable!?
Aww! He is a real cutie. Our squirrels sit in front of our window watching the dogs and cats paw at them!!
He/she sure is adorable.:) Just today a squirrel ran out in front of me and gave me a good scare. I was walking into my building using the side entrance and a squirrel jumped out of the ivy and ran right in front of me. It's tail wasn't very bushy so at first I wasn't even sure that it was a squirrel but that's the only kind of animal that it looked like to me because it was too big to be a chipmunk.
I love squiggles! The ones in our local park are so tame you can hand feed them
WOW! What great pictures! Sounds like one brave squirrel considering the many dogs in your yard! :eek:
Great pics and nice camera! My shots are never that clear.
My parents had a squirrel in their back yard that used to love to tease the dogs when we took them there. It would stay high enough in the tree that they could not get it but would "chee, chee, chee" at them to get their attention. Then when the dog would come to the tree, he would run up higher teasing all the way. One of the times we took Dazzi and no matter what the squirrel did, Dazzi ignored it. The squirrel would come almost all the way to the ground trying to get Dazzi's attention - she would still ignor it - the more Dazzi ignored the squirrel, the braver and noiser the squirrel got. Dazzi never did go after him so he finally gave up and went away!
Awesome pictures of the squirrel. Great camera and great photographer!
Oh, he's really cute. Looks tiny! Squirrels can be pretty brave, I saw one in a cheetah enclosure at the zoo once. He escaped, too! :)
Glacier, what a cutie! Looks just like a Beanie Baby to me :)

Grest pictures. :) He's a very healthy looking little guy. My girl Maggie
is the only squirrel crazy dog around here. Not even food will tempt her
away once she spots them up on the electric wires in the back of our
yard. She barks till they leave.
