As I said before there are some HUGE squirrels that live in the new neighborhood. These citified squirrels are very confrontational...the other day one was looking in the window flicking his tail at me in a very confrontational way. Just hoping he might get some kind of crazy reaction out of me....but no dice. I might be crazy, but not nuts.
Yesterday Emma (the bichon) was in the yard taking care of business. Two (not just one) of these neighborhood bullies spotted her and decided to tag team her with taunts and jeers....or maybe more like chattering and tail flicks.
Emma, being a very self possessed and confident little dog, just really had no use for these ruffians. While these two squirrels continued to carry on, and work there way down the telephone pole and across the fence getting more and more rilled up, she just continued to sniff the ground and enjoy the fresh air. She didn't even glance at them. I so enjoyed watching this display....at the end of all this it was the squirrels that were all worked up given they had the cold shoulder, and my little buddy continued her graceful presence. Love it!
too funny. wild wilderness adventures in your backyard. your own Animal Planet!

You're cracking me up. Congrats on not taking the bait from the squirrel. :)
I was talking to some people who work in Broomfield yesterday and I said I thought it must be a beautiful place based on what I've read and seen on your blog. I referred to you as the Mountain Girl. Finally someone said "Who is this Mountain Girl?" I said "I think her name is Barb Moran..." Suddenly Mary Cay said "Oh, I know her! She's the Mountain Girl, huh?" It was very funny. Now if you ever get on the FBI's Most Wanted List there will be something to put in the "Other aliases:" field.
