She is so cute. My kids love squirrels too especially the live ones but most of the time can't catch them. Thanks for sharing.

You are cute Miss Elly. I know that squirrel. It's a part of the hide-a-squirrel. Those are great! Tell your mom to get you a hide-a-hedgehog too. 😉

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

What a sweetie! Ollie agrees on SQUIRREL!
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

She was pretty traumatized by getting hit by the car and having 4 homes in her 10 months of life. But she is beginning to settle in and is gaining confidence every day. While we are walking by the road she still stops and watches each car go by, but once at the park she relaxes and follows her nose! Today she let a stranger pet her, a first.
I'm not sure how she will do on Saturday, but I'm bringing the stroller so she can hide if needed.
I know that squirrel. It's a part of the hide-a-squirrel.
Yes! Tani had that and a beehive, a birdhouse and something like a magicians hat over the years.
I want to smooch her lrecious paw! She has such a cute foot!
My last 4 pups have been all black. She has the most interesting markings- piebald I think with ticking. Her front two feet have two black nails and two clear, her back power paw has 1 black and 3 clear.
I have some pretty good video of her playing and our exercise routine (aka playing!) and some walking. I got it off my phone tonight and hopefully will have something to show soon!
See you Saturday Allison!
