"There are many truths in the world, and dogs know what they are."

I love this as my BSH cat just now decided it's time to be really really affectionate and clever right about now.

nope.

in profile, Ruby is a ringer for my Jubal, who has the same expression when he sees squirrels. Daisy, on the other hand, would be clawing the window and making sounds like all the rusty hinges in the world squeaking at the same time.

Ruby knows where the bodies are buried . . .

We feed a number of squirrels and lots of birds. They both get sunflower hearts/kernels because there's no mess, no shells.

Pulling guard duty is what dogs do best. Now, if we could get them to memorize and recite the General Orders, they'd be real soldiers.

Looks like a well-fed squirrel and an enthralled dog.

What a handsome, alert watchdog and squirrel! We see a lot of chipmunks, sparrows and wrens here in our neighborhood on East 6th Street in Erie, PA. I used to see more cardinals, blue jays and woodpeckers when I lived on the west side because we had more mature trees.
