SQUIRREL!

Usually when the dogs are outside

Shadow voluntarily goes into the

dog yard and climbs under their deck

and lays in the cool, shady sand.

Not today.

She has been sitting under the oak trees

for literally HOURS this afternoon.

We had some rain earlier and

it is still overcast

so it is cooler than it has been recently.

But she has been sitting there,

looking up into the tree.

I'm willing to bet there is a

SQUIRREL

up there.

She is kind of keeping an eye on

her kingdom (queendom?)

but she hasn't moved.

And I'm pretty sure she won't.

Until I call her in for dinner.

*The squirrel is TOTALLY safe.

While she is vigilant, she is the world's

WORST hunter. The squirrel could 

literally run across her toes and she would

still miss grabbing it.
