Oddest thing happened yesterday; my wife was out walking our Scottie (on a leash), and a rather unaware squirrel approached them. They stood still, and the squirrel kept coming closer and closer, until it was about five feet from the dog.
It finally saw the dog, and leaped to its right and ran headlong into our metal garden shed. Knocked himself out cold.
Good thing the dog was leashed, he just about turned himself inside out wanting at the squirrel. Squirrel eventually woke up and staggered off.
Follow Ups:
that's some good squirrel humor, kids. The squirrels here seem to love the fence. My neighbor did them a real favor with the fence we put in. It has a 2x4 cap the the little fkrs run it like it was I-5. Only once that I know of did any of our dogs over the years catch one.And I don't know that story because there were no witnesses other than the dog and squirrel. Maybe the dog caught it. Maybe it got distracted and missed a jump to the tree. Maybe it had a heart attack when it saw the sharpei coming. Who knows
It is completely fenced but there is a small hole dug by the rabbits. The squirrels usually escape using the rabbit hole or climb the fence. I let my dog out a couple of days ago and watchEd her stalking a squirrel. She runs. Squirrel runs behind the shed where the hole is. Then they come flying back Sophie within inches. Squirrel finally finds another exit and gets away. Turns out my wife had put a couple of bricks in the old hole to keep the rabbits out. Poor squirrel nearly had a heart attack.
Sometimes the end is dire. See the picture below from my front yard yesterday. Squirrel walking up the snow covered lawn, then terminated by an owl diving from above. One less to trap and relocate.
'Relocated' to Owl's stomach......
