Here is something you don’t see everyday. A Fox Squirrel. This one was taking a snack out of the cup of shelled peanuts I leave for the birds. It also took its time, but I needed to give my dog a bath, so we had to interrupt. It wasn’t a huge confrontation, and the squirrel did more posturing than my dog did. Velken came to the bathtub for a piece of sausage, and while we got the bath done, the fox squirrel made its getaway, with a tummy full of peanuts.
It takes either a bit or an abundance of training, depending on your dog’s prey drive, but calling a dog away from a varmint into a bath tub is doable.
