I love to watch squirrels. My human parents watch a box that they call a television and they seem to be pretty entertained by it. The only time that I really even notice anything on this "television" thing is when I hear a doorbell ringing. I run to the front door of the house barking - doing what I am supposed to do - and my human parents laugh and tell me to go sit down. I look out the door and I don't see anyone. The humans don't get up and look either. Yet I still bark just in case, though, 'cause you never know if someone is hiding out there or not. I like to get the last bark in.
The kitchen eating area in my house has lots and lots of windows and outside these windows are several trees. Just about every morning, squirrels climb up and down these trees. They pause on the limbs right at my eye level and wave their fuzzy tails to get my attention. I think that they are taunting me! I jump up and down and bark at them and then I run to my humans to tell them about the squirrels. They just don't seem to get as excited about them as I do though. I then run back to the windows and bark some more. This is great!!! The only thing that would make this even more exciting would be if I crept up on the little devils and grabbed them! I don't think that's going to happen though. Except one day a couple of months ago, a squirrel fell out of the big old oak tree in front of my house (and I do mean an OLD tree about 100 years old). The squirrel fell - breaking little limbs on the way down - crack, split, crick- and fell "splat!" on the sidewalk right in front of me. I think my mouth flew open - all I could think was "Oh, for me????" and then the darned squirrel got up and ran as fast as he could across the road missing a car and running up the big old oak tree in our neighbor's yard. Darn! I thought he was mine!! I was so surprised and awe-struck, I didn't get a chance to chase him!
I don't understand humans not wanting to chase squirrels - why if just once they chased a squirrel, they'd understand - right fellow blog dogs?
Bow! Wow! till next time

Hey Liberty Belle! It's me, Spencer! This is a really cool blog! I am so excited to know that other dogs have good lives with their human families! I hope other dogs visit both of our blogs and that we get some really cool conversations going. I hadn't posted to my blog in a very long time because things got so hectic over the holidays. But having a (pretty) lady like you leave such nice comments for me made me think that I'd better get going again. Thank you so much for contacting me and let's keep in touch!
Spencer
Hi Liberty Bell. It's your pal, Rex the Dalmatian. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you are a cutie! Some people say that I was rescued by the Chocolate Chip Dalmatian Assistance League, but I actually remember my [human] mom giving birth to me in the hospital and my [human] dad giving out cigars. So there! But enough about me.
You have a really cool blog. You are soooo right about squirrels. Humans just don't quite understand what's so exciting about them. Then again, they don't seem to understand the attraction of wastebaskets, either. Although humans aren't that bright, they sure are nice company and are quite good at carrying plastic bags when we go for a walk!
It sure was nice meeting you. Got to run now, since I hear a squirrel in my back yard. Talk to you soon.
Your friend,
Rex
