This is Ellie. She loves squirrels. A lot.
They love her too. Love to antagonize her that is. It’s become a daily game where they run the power lines above our backyard and shake their tail fur. It is only the daring squirrel, or a newbie squirrel, that goes close to the fence line.
When folks ask what breed she is, typically I answer Shepard mixed with deer. And perhaps a little bit of cat.
Can you see why?
I wonder what the neighbors think.
Thankfully Ellie’s never been inspired to do more than peep into the next yard and people, squirrel or cloud watch.
While she’s content to sit, I’ve been launched into thinking of photo captions:
- Fence warmer
- Fences, we don’t need no stinkin’ fences!
- My dog, the peeping Tom.
OK, I didn’t say they were funny but that’s what I’ve got. Obviously, I need some help in the humor department.
So what do you say about a caption contest? Submit your captions in the comments and the funniest one wins … The prize?
Oh gosh, I don’t know. A toaster cozy? Sock warmer? Rusted nails. Oh wait, I know. BRAGGING RIGHTS. You could so totally win those. And. They. Are. Awesome.
By the way, this is also the pet who digs under the fence in an attempt to play with neighbor’s dog. Go figure.

If you ever decide to ditch this dog, Boots says he’ll take him. I’m not sure I’m so wild about that idea, though. Why teach the guys something they haven’t been ornery enough to figure out on their own?
And one final design note from Boots: “Oh, look at those sweet babies! They’re SO cute!” Luckily, he’s not asking for one of those as well.
LOL, yay Boots. ROFL.
