Note on these snaps: not a compressed telephoto illusion - the squirrel was about 14 inches from Della the whole time, munching on sunflower seeds and saying, "Chase me! Come on, chase me!"
Which Della resisted for a few minutes, knowing that the anticipation of chasing was much more exciting than the actual chase would be. This was not Della's first Squirrel Rodeo.
I often see Moxie playing tag with a squirrel - spiraling up and down the big oak trunks. But Della is playing the ground game.

I swear squirrels love to play--and to tease dogs and cats!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! And they are opinionated, too...when I blocked the place where one was getting into the attic, she climbed onto the windowframe of the porch window, looked in at me, and gave me a piece of her mind!
DeleteBTW, I have not sold the double washtubs yet. Daggone it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about the one that - if I remember correctly - Larry rewired? I think it was a square tub? I'm still fantasizing about that one!
Deletewhat a beautiful colored kitty--and that squirrel is great too--
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing--
enjoy, di
I hope you come back and see the next day's pictures :)
DeleteNeener-neener!
ReplyDeleteThey really do seem to want to play :) When Moxie doesn't run right up a tree after a squirrel, the squirrel comes back down a few feet and peeks around the bole to see if Moxie's still there!
DeleteAnd they say that some animals are natural enemies! This just proves that animals have a sense of play - what fun pictures.
