Well it made me laugh

Walking Elsie this evening we saw a couple of squirrels she always gets excited when she sees squirrels and today was no different, one of them took off running the other looked panicked and ran the other way straight towards us. He realised his mistake when he bumped noses with Elsie and she looked just as amazed as I was, jumped back and tried to get up into my arms - squirrel had scared her - try carrying a labrador LOL.

I would love to have seen that Julie!

what a softee, I wonder who was the most surprised. Good job it wasn't Chloe she would have been after it them like shot ...

Re: Well it made me laugh

I am glad I didn't have Betty with me because even though she is tiny she would have tried to eat it, she is our hunter all 5lb of her.

Aww poor Elsie - naughty squirrel

Re: Well it made me laugh

Poor Elsie, glad the squirrel didn't bite her nose though

Very funny Julie. Dogs like to make out like they are big brave soldiers but they can be scaredy-cats at heart. I'll bet the dog we used to own would have behaved in a similar way.

Re: Well it made me laugh

I remember when a huge spider hid from us and my Dad upended our large electric organ to find it. Sabre, our alsation/lab scuttled aware in fear! Idiot dog! Lol.

Julie, have you noticed that there are a lot more squirrels about this year, at least there are around here. I don't know why.

As for having a fully grown Labrador in your arms, well it's quite an experience isn't it

Re: Well it made me laugh

It's warm and they have not yet gone into hibernation .
Plus it's a bumper year for acorns and they are probably working overtime to store their cache for winter.
