Jake & Charlotte: Those Darn Squirrels

The squirrels around Fairlington seem to just love taunting all of the neighborhood dogs. They know just how close they can let the dogs get to them before they make a mad dash for the nearest tree. Poor Jake sometimes has drool hanging down his mouth after walks like these, thinking about just how close he was to that squirrel.

Well, Jake lucked out about 2 weeks ago. There is this stump over by his house that he has taken a liking to in the past. Two weeks ago he actually started to dig some under the stump and was really enjoying himself. It was all fun and games until he pulled out his prize: one dead squirrel. I definitely was not expecting that one. He was so proud of his prize. (Charlotte loves squirrels, but she was trying to get as far away from Jake as possible.) I was able to get him to relinquish it quickly and we reburied it.

Ever since the reburial ceremony Jake still tries to make an attempt to sneak his way (or pull his way) back over to that stump. He just keeps hoping that he can reclaim his prize again someday.
