Orvis Chases a Squirrel

The other night, Orvis was having a fit trying to catch a squirrel that was on the stump where our Dish is mounted. There is a bird bath on the stump, too, and squirrels come up to drink fairly often. This one started teasing Orvie, and I was lucky enough to remember that our camera does videos (although I'd never done one), and to figure out how to do it before it got totally dark! Lighting is poor because of time of day, and I was trying to be really quiet so as not to distract the dog. The funniest action preceded this, but you'll still get an idea of what our pup was up to. Some folks have kid videos, and some of us have to resort to whatever is at hand..... Thank you, Darby, for helping me get the video posted. Now I just have to figure out how to get it into my blog. First try didn't work a-tall, other than to provide the url. Second try didn't work, either. YouTube says it's retrieving my blog information, but I sat here for 20 minutes and it stayed in a loop of "retrieving . . . .done; retrieving . . . . done." So--click the link and have a gander at Uncle Orvis being thwarted by a Montana squirrel.

Heh heh! How funny! Dogs are so easily amused, aren't they?

Orvy is a persistent "little" cuss, isn't he? That is such a cute video! Reese would've given up after 5 minutes and just started barking at the squirrel.
