Not A Squirrel Chaser Anymore

 

With Rowdy's age, even when he notices a squirrel in the back yard, he only lunges at it for a few steps and then quits.

I think the thing that most effects I this is his partial blindness. I don't think he can visually tune it in, or follow where the squirrel moves to. It is like he looses site of it after it moves a little, so if there is not a substantial opposing background, he can't seem to follow it.

Of course there is the thought that he no longer figures it is worth the trouble, to chase them anymore.

I haven't seen him actually chase a squirrel for some time now, so I guess his squirrel chasin' days are over.
