My dog's favorite thing to do is chase away squirrels. This one kept trying to get out of the tree and onto the fence, well not on my dog's watch! The squirrel would come down and want to jump and the dog would run it back up over and over and over. Well this particular time the squirrel came down and here would come the dog, well the squirrel thought she was eaten. It just knew it! The little squirrel leaped and landed in the tree like this. It was just staying there. It's legs just quivering. I took my shot and walked up to it to see if I could free it. I think it had knocked it's breath out or it had passed out from fear thinking it had been eaten. But it shook it's head pushed up and ran off so fast. Thankful it was still alive.
