Recently, Scott started hanging a nice little bird feeder out on our patio. Though it makes quite a mess on our driveway below, we really enjoy having the little finches, juncos, and doves in the mornings and evenings.
However, the seeds also attract squirrels. Ringo the tiny dachshund can't stand squirrels. He is quite convinced that during our walks, if we would just let him off his leash that he could easily catch the squirrels. Never mind that his legs are only an inch and a half long and he can't climb trees. Just you wait. He'll get one someday.
Ringo happened to catch a glimpse of a squirrel through the glass patio door one day. Ever since then, he has been on hyper squirrel alert. Our living room windows look out on to the patio, though they are quite high in the wall. Ringo has discovered that if he climbs up on the back of the couch and stands up, he can see out.
He is so brave! I have to say, however, I've never heard a barking crazy person, but I am sure it happens. Love this picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the crazy dachshund. My mother and I had a part doxie mix for many years, and he too could bark like he was going to eat you. As for the squirrels, I am a champion of the squirrel. I feed my squirrel buddies on a regular basis. The birds? Eh, they can fend for themselves. I'm not much of a bird person. They poop too much. And we have a crazed mockingbird who sings all night in the summer time, trying to find a mate.
