Kittycat: Oh, I see it. Let's go and chase it, if mom will let us out.
Puppy dog: Great idea. I'll pretend I have to have a bathroom break and when mom opens the door, I'll go out and you slip out very quickly with me before she can stop you.
Kittycat: Wonderful plan. Let's go.
(heehee - these are my daughter's puppy dog and kittycat)
Love your story. can just picture them chasing the squirrel. I saw two of them. one black and one grey one chasing each other around our maple tree. I was so mesmerized, I forgot to grab the camera right next to me.
