Hi!
May you be showered in kindness today!
This Sweetheart is almost 15 years old. She is perfectly rodent/squirrel colored.
From the time she was a little puppy, people would ask, what kind of an animal is that? But it was not what people were wondering that we needed to worry about. The squirrels wondered what she was. They would come up and chatter at her. Squirrels would follow us around, constantly chattering, " Hey, show us your squirrel" If a squirrel is ever near she gets very quiet, still and wants to be held. All the other dogs bark and go nuts over the squirrels. She tries to tell them ignore the squirrels, act like they are not there. Which I think adds to her allure!
On numerous occasions we have been chased by squirrels trying to get her. Once my daughter thought the squirrel was going to run up her leg. We finally figured it out. It happens mostly in the spring and it's always a male squirrel. They think she is a prized female squirrel, with bigger ears, bigger pronounced face.nicer legs!
May you have a simply marvelous day! You are valued!
