Squirrel Hunting

This time of year the squirrels are out and about with their unique chattering call, and the dogs love it...it's a close call, birds or squirrels?

Claire goes wild, running in circles on the leash, barking furiously with the excitement...with birds she's working, focused and spot on, but with squirrels, there is no containing her enthusiasm...her whole being lights up with FUN!

Even with its mastery of light, shade and camouflage, Luna's setter eye penetrates the leafy foliage above to find that tantalizing prey...

Adorable little puckered mouth as she catches the little critter in her mind's eye...methinks the squirrel wins though...

Oops, time to go!
