The Guardians And A Squirrel

These 12-foot poles (now 8-foot once in the ground) went up on Sunday. And by Thursday we had a squirrel. Truly a “build it and they will come" moment. The Guardians don’t see squirrels very much to my knowledge, so when I looked up the hill and saw a squirrel on the post, I thought it would be a fun enrichment activity for them to see one and to learn the word squirrel which is not part of our vocabulary here. They did great with how they responded and equally great when I called them off. I’m proud of them. Hope you enjoy this fun little video. Oh and by morning there was no squirrel on the fence, so he or she must have got off there sometime in the evening or night.

    Our Pyrs also believe that squirrels are not to be trusted! It's a daily battle of wits and wills, they run across our wood fence and I think they're just teasing the dogs.

    I think he or she was a ground squirrel, yes. And absolutely I didn't want any harm to come to the squirrel. I bet it's really awesome to rescue baby squirrels.

    Have seen a lot about your amazing dogs but have not seen any where they sleep on their back….my GP does all the time with legs akimbo and it is adorable. Since she is our only dog I was wondering if any of your dogs sleep like this as it leaves them in a vulnerable position?

    Yes each one sleeps on their backs at different times.

    Well, as you allude to, that does not look like the usual skwirl territory. But I reckon they are fairly ubiquitous. Your pack would have made short work of him if he had fallen amongst them!

    The ground squirrels do live around here and they make burrows in the soil, but we very seldom actually see them.
