Squirrels, all they really are is Squirrels

I seriously think the squirrels in my backyard are taunting my dog

She will be sitting contently in the living room with me and suddenly she has a need to go outside, and usually it's not to pee. She gets this look of urgency and starts whining. As soon as we get to the back door she is literally spinning in circles with excitement. I fling the door open and she's off running at full speed. An instantly the squirrels scatter up the tree, over the fence or across the yard. Then they stand on the trunk of the tree facing down and scream and chatter at her.

To me that's taunting and game on...

What is it about squirrels? My dad can talk for HOURS and HOURS about his efforts to keep squirrels out of his birdfeeders. And how they keep thwarting him.

Squirrels are all about the thwarting, mocking, and plotting of out deaths. It's their thing...

We have possums for that. And cane toads for annoying pets. Thing is they're poisonous so it's not fun if your kitty or puppy tries to play with them.
