DAKOTA UPDATE
There is nothing funnier than watching a senior Golden, with a teddy bear hanging out of his mouth, lope across the deck and around the yard casually chasing a bunch of squirrels. What a sight. He stands in front of the windows in the family room and watches them eating bird seed that was uncovered by snow melting. Every muscle in his body is tight and ready to spring. Talk about intense! And then you let him out of the door and watch this lovable dog, with not a mean bone in his body, gently give the boot to those gray, furry marauders.
Dakota's weekend was celebrated by the return of his chipmunks. He instantly remembered their names when I spoke and was up like a flash from his sleep. His affection for the little creatures is entirely different than is sentry duty of the squirrel invasion.
The biggest creature problem at the moment are the rabbits. They spent the winter under our deck. We were unable to keep them out. As far as I can determine Dakota now thinks they are a part of our family. That will have to change when the snow and frost in the ground are gone.
