We were simply strolling along when a dastardly tree rat (you humans call them squirrels) darted across the road in front of us and up a tree. We wanted to give chase and explain how wrong that was, but Hu-Dad “suggested” we keep walking instead.

Would have been more fun to chase the squirrel, Hu-Dad.

    Cheoah looks like she stayed focused in contrast to the synchronized boys. Cute shot!

    As one who’s been brought “up close and personal” with many a tree because a squirrel has caught Izzy’s attention…. I say thank you for not making the hu-Dad airborne!
