He never really wins, it's 2 against 1. But jeez, it is annoying when you are enjoying a late PM cocktail on the deck on the best day of Spring, so far. While listening to a lovely blend of new and old acoustic music.
Then this happened:
As expected, squirrel made a safe get away. Skippa just wanted to play. No dice.

I thought you were going to tell me you were wearing the same sneakers since the '70's.
That would be a reason for doggie to go after them.
Goldens are such sweet dogs.
I used to have them, but then ended up with little Maltese doggies, easier to handle.

He'll be glad when it happens. As long as you don't let him get jealous.
