Maggie vs. the Squirrel

We have evil squirrels in our backyard that torture Maggie endlessly. They will come down the tree and egg her on so she will try to chase them. But when she gets close to them, they dart back up in the tree, as if to say, "Ha, ha, you can't catch me!"

Here is the culprit today:

Here is Maggie, staring down the squirrel.
Next Maggie runs around the yard barking (i.e. screaming) at the top of her lungs and chasing the squirrel. Unfortunately, it rained a lot here the past 2 days, and it's not quite cold enough for the ground to be frozen. The result: a really muddy Maggie.So then Daniel had to give Maggie a bath. And neither Daniel nor Maggie like it when she needs a bath, so nobody was happy about that.

A nice and clean Maggie after her bath.


Now Maggie has to stay inside for the rest of the day and be content playing with her stuffed squirrel. The moral of this story: Don't let Maggie play outside on muddy days. Or: Find a way to get rid of all the evil squirrels in our backyard.
