He's Back

The last few months around our house have been peaceful. Since we're classified as personal protection and/or guard dogs, we take great pride in making sure that both our home and our property are not intruded upon by uninvited guests. During the winter season, there are limited opportunities for us to show off our protection skills. Yeah, the mailman comes each day (who even brought dogs treats in an attempt to make peace with us (it didn't work)) and every now and then someone else randomly appears (meter reader guy, FedEx guy, Santa Claus). However, for the most part, there isn't much going on around our place while it's cold out.

Now that Spring is here and the trees/flowers are in bloom, all that has changed. If you're still wondering what us brilliant canines are referring to, it should be no surprise that we are solely focused on our arch-enemy....the squirrel. It's bad enough that the squirrel has the nerve to prance around neighboring roofs, trees, and even power lines, but to frolic around in OUR yard is non-excusable. Who does this squirrel think he is? Does he not smell our scent around the trees and bushes? Does he not understand that the green space around our house belongs to only us?

Our only explanation for this blatant disrespect is that the squirrel is deaf. How could he not have hearing issues? Does he not hear us going berserk when he stands in our yard eating things off the ground as we stand in the window sill just a few feet away sounding our alarm? Everyone else in the surrounding houses (and probably 2-3 towns away) can hear us voicing our displeasure. We think at times, the ground shakes during our fits of rage as we can only watch from inside as the squirrel does what he pleases outside. Does the squirrel see us and know that we cannot get through the door to chase after him, so he is allowed to come and go as he pleases?

Squirrel, you have been warned. It may take a little longer than we would like, but you will face the consequences from invading our personal space. We do not know the specific time that you will face our wrath, but when it happens, it will be long overdue.
