The Squirrel

I heard a commotion in the backyard this morning and went out to investigate.  Found Coco and Ginger chasing a squirrel who was on the top of the fence.  He was running from one side of the yard to the other, all the time staying on the very top of the fence.  The girls were staying right with him the whole way.  He was chatting (or whatever they do) at them the whole time.  The girls were going nuts, barking, chasing......quite a sight.

This went on for a good 5 to 10 minutes and I was just beginning to wonder if either was going to give in.  Right about that time, the squirrel stopped in the very corner of the fence above the water fountain.  All of the sudden, out of the blue, comes a bird straight at the squirrel!  That bird, who I assume was ready to put an end to all this chaos, dove squarely at the squirrel and knocked him off the fence.  Luckily the birds trajectory was away from the yard so the squirrel fell outside of the yard, safely away from my crazy guard dachshunds!

I feel like that squirrel.
