I said in an earlier post that Miley caught a large fox squirrel a few weeks ago. She had it in her mouth, and it was squealing very loudly. She trots up to me with all the pride in the world. “I finally got one!” she seemed to say.
But that squirrel figured out how to get out of her mouth, and once he did, he put up a heck of a fight getting away. Golden retrievers very often don’t know how to kill, so this squirrel was able to take to the trees.
A fox squirrel, for those you who don’t know, is a huge tree squirrel that can weigh as much as 2 or 3 pounds.
When my grandpa was illegally ferreting, he send his ferret into a hollow tree where a fox squirrel had taken refuge. That squirrel sent the ferret packing!
