As I raked up tons of acorns in my yard, I should have thought about the starving squirrels.

I've yelled at Gidget enough not to chase our squirrels here at home, that they scamper around fairly unfettered here. She's found other jobs, standing vigil against the world outside the compound :~D

Eek. This still makes me think of the moment in 2001 Space Odyssey where the apes went carnivorous--(after the visitation of the mysterious black rock)--

Why would you care if the dog chases squirrels? It is great sport and exercise for them and I have only had one squirrel get caught, ever. I have had big dogs and small dogs, they don't even come close. They can't help barking as they race across the yard the squirrels hear them coming and head for the nearest tree. One time one of my Jack Russels could have caught a squirrel but he waited a second, to give the squirrel a chance to get away, before he began his chase. He was a sweet boy and didn't really want to hurt anything.

She's caught a few, I don't make a big production out of it or punish her about it... more like a "Ahem... LEAVE IT"... I feed the squirrels in a big way (A full coffee can of peanuts and sunflower seeds a day) so we have a lot of them. I don't think it's quite fair to attract them with food, and then let the dogs kill them at will :~D

Maybe Rocky Squirrel was the head of the league. Someone should tell Boris Badinov.

A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.If that's true, then the forest is in serious trouble. If the vegetation dies, everything dies.

Good pic but I had to go see it the hard way.
BTW for anyone interested the best squirrel-proof bird feeder I have ever found (after about 5 tries) is a thing called the Yankee Flipper. Purely mechanical (no shocks); simply rotates a circular landing rail when it feels squirrel-type weight.
I used the shock-type, so I don't have a problem with it, but ice tends to short them out.
