Squirrel Patrol by sunnygreenwood

Squirrel Patrol

Some of you may remember the little video with Reba, our 6 lb Maltese on squirrel patrol last winter. As effective as she's become over the years, Kala, our 8 month old Shepherd pup has become quite good at it too. No squirrels are injured, other than their pride.

Many thanks for dropping by. I'm glad you got a chance to see how pretty it can be here in the dead of winter. Thanks for the lovely comments and favs.
Nice shot!

Kala is a beauty! Outstanding photo of her. Along with my bichon, my 2 other favorite dogs are Shepherds and Malteses. Another fav for me.

Beautiful pup! And great shot of intense anticipation.

Send her my way. My squirrels are out of control and leave nothing for the birds. Nice capture of her on alert.

Kala is growing up! Such a pretty dog! Nice capture of her attentive expression.

She's grown into a beauty! Do the birds still come when she's around? Our birds take off and hide when Murphy's in the yard.
February 3rd, 2012  
LOL What a beauty she is. Gorgeous shot.
February 3rd, 2012  
What a gorgeous dog
February 3rd, 2012  
Oh my lovely photo!!

@timandelke thanks Elke! She's not fussy about the big birds like blue jays and mourning doves but doesn't bother much with the little birds. Also, there's two sections of deck with a cat walk in between and there's usually seeds on both sides so if she's on one side, the big birds still come to the other side. The seed is SO expensive this year. The bag we paid $22. for last year is $37. this year. Yikes!

Look how Kala is watching! She's beautiful!
February 3rd, 2012  
LOL So cute. Looks like she's keeping a good watch.
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala is beautiful! And he looks quite able to scare squirrels!
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala is getting pretty big now, I love the intense look on her face, she's looking really serious about her patrol :)
February 3rd, 2012  
What a great catch of this gorgeous dog. Love the expression on her face and those beautiful ears on alert. She's not going to miss a thing. LOVE her!

Beautiful dog. I love his intensity. Did you see "UP"?
February 3rd, 2012  
Neat shot! He does look very intense.
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala is so pretty!!!!!
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala has grown so much and wow, she's gorgeous! And she looks like she's taking her job very seriously. I've really been enjoying your winter series immensely. Sorry seed has gotten so expensive!
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala is so pretty!!! Ive seen your winter postings and agree with you on how beautiful winter can be!!!
February 3rd, 2012  
now we know the secret to your incredible bird shots, the 2 dogs keep the squirrels from eating all the bird seed. I'll have to teach my 2 :) Great shot of Kala!
February 3rd, 2012  
Kala is a very beautiful dog!

February 4th, 2012  
Oh I know that look - both my dogs are squirrel obsessed:)
February 4th, 2012  
Kala is so beautiful! Such a look of intensity - just waiting for some squirrels to come around!
February 4th, 2012  
I love how she is got a very watchful eye
February 4th, 2012  
Kala seems to take her job seriously!! Great shot!
February 4th, 2012  
So serious she is with this (probably) full-time job. Squirrels and bird feeders go hand-in-hand. Nice picture. I have enjoyed your winter shots, and I'm hoping you have enjoyed my sunshiny ones at the opposite end of the weather spectrum. :D

Kala is a beautiful dog. One of my favorite breeds.
February 4th, 2012  
Nice photo of Kala looking very intently for those squirrels.
February 4th, 2012  
She is definately focused on whatever it is she is watching! Such a pretty pose too!
February 4th, 2012  
Kala is beautiful! That's really high for bird seed. My stepdad buys the sunflower seeds. I think he pays $25 for it. My poor little birdies have to eat the budget seeds. :0)
February 4th, 2012  
Really cute!
February 4th, 2012  
Wow look how big Kala is now ... Gorgeous dog!
February 4th, 2012

Better than a scarecrow. He looks so attentive to what is going on. Beautiful dog and capture.
February 4th, 2012  
She looks completely engaged. Such a precious shot.
February 4th, 2012
