There have been a bunch of ground squirrels and bunnies in the yard for Gypsy to chase. Last summer she caught a couple squirrels and a bunny but has yet to catch one this spring.
There is a squirrel hole in the corner of our yard that appears to be the squirrel freeway, which keeps Gypsy pretty busy.
Lately the squirrels have been coming out of the hole and chirping at Gypsy, almost mocking her, "I bet you can't get me!" @Wendy has been here the past few weeks to witness this mocking.
While I was doing yard work this morning I heard the chirping of a squirrel and looked up to see it come out of the hole, chirp until it got Gypsy's attention then rush back into the hole while Gypsy was running up the hill.
This is Gypsy hiding behind a rock to lull the squirrel into her lair.
I'm pretty confident that its only a matter of time before Gypsy wins this battle of the back yard critters.
I'm not sure why I'm sharing this other than to share some of what has been entertaining us when we're not skiing or hiking.
