Stand-off

Shadow loves to chase squirrels. Next to chasing balls, working sheep or cows, it is one of his favourite occupations.
But the squirrels are so quick they safely get high in a tree where they will loudly scold him until he leaves again.
But today, a squirrel decided to run into the hole in our ancient apple instead, and it soon became a stand off between dog and squirrel.
Dog could not get at the squirrel but the squirrel could not get past the dog. I am sure it would have remained like this all day but I called Shadow off.
For the life rewards challenge that ends tomorrow.

Hi. I originally commented for your get pushed: how about a photo with both of your favorite and least favorite color. Or if the combination is not pretty, just least favorite color is ok.

But there's so much snow in your place. :o
