My fiance opens the back door and says that something is dead, "really dead" out here.... i go and look and my husky/wolf is standing over a dead squirrel, and our great dane is standing there too...... not sure which one of them got 'em... the probably tag-teamed him. That's what it gets for always dancing up on the fence and the tree branches, teasing the pooches!!!!!!

About 5-6 yrs ago, the little buggers chewed a hole in the roof of the rental house I lived in. Ever since then they have been on my sh!t list.

I had to post this cuz I hate those damn pesky squirrels.

squirrels == self replicating targets!

One of my dads dogs caught a bird that decided to fly too low to the ground once.

It was quite a site.

My parents "first child" (a even tempered mutt they picked up at the pound) once caught a baby rabbit. He didn't kill it. He held it gently in his mouth and brought it to my dad. It was unharmed and quite happy to be released.

This is the dame dog that I shared an entire box of Oreos with when I was 5 or 6.

Our dogs often get rabbits, but squirrels? Not too often... they're a lot quicker. Plus, rabbits don't climb trees!

Had an especially-intelligent barker named "Lucky" few years back. One day, Lucky observed a squirrel fall out of a large oak tree and into the side street, next to my house. Lucky, thinking the squirrel was dead, I assume, ran over and picked the squirrel up and was in the process of bringing the squirrel over to my house, when the squirrel (that'd apparently been stunned, not dead) awoke and immediately took a bite of Lucky's lower lip.

Can't relate just how ridiculous it was to see Lucky running around the yard with a squirrel hanging from her lower lip. Squirrel got free, and ran into the hollow part of an old pecan tree in my yard. Lucky sat by that tree for several hours, waiting for Lazarus the Squirrel to reappear.

My money is on the Husky. Ours took a squirrel out of a tree easy as pie.

My GSD has taken-out a few opossums. 'Playing Dead' didn't help them.
