Ambush

Across the back of my yard is a wooden privacy fence that squirrels like to travel across the top from one end to the other.  Rowdy is always ready to go after a squirrel and when I saw him take a bead on the back fence, I knew he spotted one.  At the point that the squirrel was on the fence, if Rowdy had chased him, it would have been a short run to the end of the fence and up a tree and gone.  From where I was at that moment, I was in the perfect position to run around the garage and ambush the squirrel from the other side, which I did immediately.  The squirrel took off traversing across the top of the fence the long way as fast as he could and Rowdy was after him all the way across, till the squirrel made it to the other end and up another tree.  The fence is way too tall for Rowdy to jump up and get the squirrel, but the fun was in the chase!
