Squirrel Patrol on duty

Aspirations and dreams will never come true in this situation. Each morning, a squirrel or two enjoy taunting my Riley by running down one of the pine trees in my yard and then quickly back up when my pup charges! She is determined to snag one but I don't think she really has much of a chance.

I was surprised how high she can jump. When she runs at the fence trying to catch the squirrel, I've seen her touch the top, at least for a brief second or two. (6 feet)
Very nice collage... almost made me smile!! :-)

Ha ha, brilliant. Reminds me of the time our cat tried to climb the wall to chase a possum.

What a great catch :) it's just amazing how far up the tree she actually goes.....

Exciting, I have zoomed to have a close look of the last shot. Riley really had a go with it.

Its an amazing collage and story. Wonder if this is a game between Riley and Mr Squirrel

@ninaganci It might just be. Maybe its the way to get a thrill if you are the squirrel? Riley takes this rather seriously.

@yaorenliu She is like a gazelle except when its bath time.

@robz She can really move when she wants.

@onewing She amazes me with her speed, lizards are also a favorite target. I hope she never catches the squirrel, their claws are nothing to take lightly.

@s4sayer Mitzi looks too refined for such things. Riley being a rescue from the Navajo reservation, she was on her own for a while so, who knows what she learned or did.

@jernst1779 Riley thanks you for the fav. She is basically a ham when it comes to being a crazy puppy. I hope she grows out of this when she hits her sophomore years.

@lostphojo The squirrels cackle about her a lot too.

Goodness- she's got a lot of spring in her! But she does look like she's got a little Springer Spaniel in her. Fun collage!

@octogenarian She is a nut but gotta love her determination. On our hike today, she caught a toad. She wasn't happy when we made her drop it. Truly appreciate he fav, thank you so kindly.

@olivetreeann She does have that spring of a puppy- we think she's about 2 come this November.
