Squirrels are The Utterly Worst Enemy as far as she is concerned, and she will charge off, yowling, the moment she sniffs one.Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-58476283137675395592010-07-02T18:14:32.392+01:002010-07-02T18:14:32.392+01:00What a beautiful place you live in.

One day a crow dropped a Starbucks cup from its perch high in a tree and the cup skittered down through the branches like a squirrel. The dog went nuts. We had to sit under that tree for 5 minutes until she was convinced the cup wasn't a squirrel and would move on.<br /><br />Sorry about your OH. Mine had to deal with the same issue last summer, while on vacation. Our vacation was in Yellowstone park, and that word will forever have something of a different meaning for us.Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-73914439089765043892010-07-02T12:28:22.996+01:002010-07-02T12:28:22.996+01:00Ooh, a Dead Nettle.

I still do on the rare occasions when I see a Dead Nettle.<br /><br />They used to be as common as anything where I grew up, but I hardly ever see them here in Sheffield.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941239760699389457noreply@blogger.com
