Squirrels are NOT magic!

Squirrels are devious little vermin. Maybe that's why I can't stop myself from chasing one when I see one taunting me.

Ok, I'll admit they had me fooled...but only at first! My first week or so here, I was fascinated by these little fluffy-tailed squeekers. Initially, I thought squirrels were magic! I'd see one, I'd chase it, he'd run to a tree...and then, POOF! He disappeared! Like the little guy was never there! There was no trap door. No human to scoop him up and pocket him. Nothing! So, naturally, I figured they had magic powers. But today, I discovered the truth!

I was out on a walk earlier than usual and I was the only pup in the park. It was like heaven: no competition, no butts to sniff, no children to entertain, no ladies to delight. It was just me, the grass, the trees and the squirrels. Mom gave me a little more leash than usual...and that's when I discovered that squirrels do NOT have superpowers. They can only disappear when I chase them because they know how to climb! Cheaters! All they do is tease little dogs like me and then run away up their squirrel trees where little dogs can't reach them. Lame. All of them. Lame. I bet not a single squirrel on my block has a Halloween costume! Well, I'll show them all this Friday!

Bet you can't guess what I'm going as this Halloween!

Toodles!
