The sun peeped out for a little while when we went to the park this morning. And there were squirrels everywhere!
Like this one perched up on a tree 
Looking down at me.
And so we sat like that for a long time, waiting to see who leaves first.
I waited so long, I almost dozed off.
Eventually another one was spotted and we went to the next tree,
There was nothing much left to do except to wait for them. And we can do this all day.
But that George and I, we have different approaches to hunting. I am the huntress, I stalk. I am both spaniel and poodle – I have strong hunting genes. I stand patiently, walking slowly towards the prey and get closer and closer before I pounce – but always too late.
But that George, he thinks he’s clever by just running headlong towards the prey – getting there before me! He learnt squirrelling from me but obviously lacking in any of the hunting genes. As Yorkshire terriers were apparently trained to catch rats that explains it all! Annoying!
May’s comment: They can literally do that all day. So much for my walking exercise. I just sit and watch them.

My Lola (yorkiepoo) and Mackenzie (Yorkie) bark furiously at the squirrels they’ve treed, in absolute outrage that they won’t come down to be properly caught. And, the squirrels chatter right back at them, sounds to me that they’re saying ” Yeah. We’ll be right down. When hell freezes over”.
Great entertainment though!!! Darcy so typically Cockapoo and Georgie so terrier like!!! Lol!
Great picture of Darcy…at first I thought she was “sunning” herself!
I love their squirrelling stories. Miss Darcy looks so intent on gerring them, but those pesky squirrels are too fast and smart!
