Every morning when I let the dogs out to do their business before I leave for work, Jesse chases the squirrels. As soon as I open the slider, the gray squirrels dive off the feeders and head to the trees. However, we have one little and I mean LITTLE red squirrel who is the most defiant critter I've ever seen in my life. Well, he stood his ground a bit too long this morning and Jesse was just about to chomp him when he leaped onto a tree trunk and scooted up. Hope this little guy learned his lesson!

Maggie always chased squirrels........got a few tails :B

I always knock on the back door and wait a few seconds before letting the dogs out. Gives the critters a bit of a chance. They DO learn.....at least most of them!

Our two Draathars double teamed. One would district them, while the other snuck up from behind. I can't tell you how many I saved but calling the dogs. For the few that didn't survive, they must've broken their necks or the squirrels died of fright because there were no visible puncture wounds. But my female would do the same with mice. She'd catch them and I'd come home to find her throwing something in the air, catch it, throw it again. Upon closer scrutiny, I'd see it was a mouse! A wet alive, mouse!

My dog brought home dinner for us on Monday, a little bunny. Not sure how he caught it as he is one of laziest dogs I've owned. Dropped it at my feet with a proud look on his face.

My old girl Pebbles actually caught one years ago. Got a bite on her nose for her efforts! Checked with the doc; he wasn't concerned, but I think Pebs learned a lesson.

That little squirrel was just teasing your dog. He knew what he was doing. I bet once up in the tree he was sticking out his tongue. :p
