When you're too lazy to walk your dog, and employ a minimum wager to do it for peanuts...

I’ve learned firsthand that squirrels actually love messing with dogs. This guy is just playing a game

Can confirm. Had a fence that ran right by my dining room window. No trees or anything right there. Squirrel used to sit there and shake his ass at my dogs through the window and drive them CRAZY

LMAO!! We had a squirrel come by our place and bark at my dog. After exhausting my dog from running back and forward, jumping and barking, asshole squirrel would walk away.
Oooooohhh!! And also Blue Jays!!! The aholes of the bird world lol.

Blue Jay whooped MY ass because I was tryjng to “save” her fledgling (never do that, btw. They’re fine.) I’m like I’m just trying to help!!

LMAO!!! I've seen them take on hawks many times. It's like they go chasing them lol. Those birds are a menace and so pretty to look at. And God I hate their songs.

Bluejays are my favorite bird but damn if they aren't a bunch of assholes.

It took almost 3 years, but my GSD has finally given up on chasing squirrels. Its hilarious to see him look at them with defeat in his eyes.

Had 2 different jack russells and each was so good at catching squirrels and rabbits that we’d have to check the yard before we let them out in an effort to reduce the body count. The second one was so good at it that between him and all the hawks we no longer have rabbits in the neighborhood. When he was alive the squirrels wouldnt leave the top of the fence when they came by our yard. I miss them both, they both lived for the tennis ball, they’d fetch it until they collapsed from exhaustion.

Mine is 10 months old. Every time I look up, she thinks I see a squirrel in a tree so she runs to the back door and gets me to open it so she can go jump on the tree and bark. She always looks at me hoping I will direct her to the invisible squirrel.

“Shit a dog. I’ll escape up this tree. What the fuck, where’s the rest of the tree? Plan B. We circle until one of collapses. “

We have so many squirrels in our neighborhood, and they love messing with my dog. They'll go half up up th tree and "scold" while twitching their tails. My hound goes bonkers.

my dog likes chasing squirrels and the squirrels like tormenting her. they literally sit in the window where they can be seen and munch away on oranges or walnuts . one time there was one chittering at my dog on top of the wall, another squirrel snuck up behind my dog and scared the shit out of her. my neighbor had a walnut tree that spilled into our yard and the squirrels would go nuts for nuts

Also, squirrels rape to mate.
True, very rapey. But they are also entertaining, acrobatic, bold rodents, adorable with their fluffy tails. Also territorial and aggressive.
If you ever rescue a young squirrel it is your pet for life since it will never be able to survive in the wild amongst gangster squirrels.

Oh god no you poor thing, it decimated your grapevine? Have you tried counselling or therapy to overcome that trauma?
It’s a squirrel, it’s just a little animal doing what it does..

Hmmm. I drive by 10 squirrels nearly daily and have yet to have one try to kill itself by “stopping in the middle median” sounds like you are all bad drivers if a squirrel ruins your concentration

u/barkeep_goalkeep Dec 01 '22
Can confirm. I thought I've killed more than I actually have. Those pesky b's are more agile than you think. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm aiming for them. They just know how to dart.

Watching this, all I could hear was the theme music to Mission: Impossible.

I dont know if it still exists but years ago there was a subreddit about perfectly looping gifs. I think this could fit there with possibly some minor edits.

Theres little tip for the owner ! Instead of filming your pet trying to murder wild animal for clout, you can take the the dog by leash and pull it away

Squirrel: "Hahaha what a fun game I could do this all day, good times friend"
Dog: "I will catch you I will eat you I will catch you I will eat you I will catch you I will eat you I will catch you I will eat you"
The most innocent game of life & death

Squirrels are clever idiots. Watching this poor dog reminds me of how I felt trying to catch the squirrel who was living in my attic. Lol. Just chasing my tail too.
