New Friends

This spring we have a new friend visiting us. Usually squirrels are discouraged from eating out of bird feeders because they eat all the food and scare all the birds away, but this little guy has become a welcome sight out our window. He has a rather large scar on his side where someone tried to make a meal of him. I think after an ordeal like that he deserves a free lunch. I may even find myself buying him a squirrel feeder of his very own.

Tig is doing really well. He has such a sweet personality and has already proven to be very smart. He is learning what toys he can play with, how to chase a ball, to come, sit, and how to walk on a leash. Today we all walked to the mailbox and he walked right by my side the entire way without pulling one bit. He does need to work on sharing with the other dogs at the food bowl. Fighting over food is absolutely not acceptable. He didn't mind me petting him while he ate but wasn't too fond of Lucy eating along side of him. He will learn, or he will go hungry!
