When I originally snapped this pic, I thought I was getting a funny shot of the squirrel sitting atop the rail and the dogs salivating below. But just as I snapped the photo, everyone in the house gasped loudly as the squirrel jumped down… within a foot of the dogs.
*The squirrel was NOT hurt! It landed right between the two dogs on the grass and ran faster than I’ve ever seen a squirrel run….and jumped up and over our fence.* …I’m pretty sure this is my once in a lifetime shot…lunch a squirrel in mid flight.

That is sooo wild!! He really does look like lunch! It’s a bird…it’s a plane…no it’s super squirrel! I bet when he got over the fence he said, “Dogs drool, squirrels rule.”
Love it!

Wow, that is an amazing photo.
That is a great shot. The squirrels in our neighborhood taunt my dog so. I’m pretty sure I saw one pointing and laughing last week from on top of the swing set.

Awesome picture! I am emailing this to my husband – he LOVES squirrels and cracks up at them all the time. Seriouly, all the time.
Have you seen the movie “UP!”? I love that scene with the dogs all talking and then they stop, “Squirrel!” Just perfect.
Happy Wed!

Wow, what a great shot! My accidentals are always blurry, LOL! my squirrels have that reddish color too. They can be pretty zippy too! I would laugh at my yorkie when she would chase them & could not figure out where they went too when they ran up a tree! Magic! that squirrel would be one mouthful for your dogs! LOL, yup, he was lucky as you were to get the shot!
What a shot! Glad to hear he landed safely.

What an awesome shot! Glad to hear the squirrel made it out safely.
Now following you in networked blogs and I voted, yay!
Yeah, I didn’t know how much I could like cucumbers until trying the lemon ones.
Hmm…drying seeds, you obviously think I have way more gardening talent then I do.
I’ll give that a shot and if it doesn’t work (very likely) I’ll go to the nursery and pick up a packet of seeds for you. How does that sound?

Don’t you love it when stuff like that happens! I’ll bet that squirrel was crapping his little furry pants when he landed next to those big dogs. Too funny!

What a great shot. I miss so many here ’round the Ponderosa because I’m carrying tools or something besides a camera. Some things just don’t wait for me to run in and get it. I think your little Rocky need his own little super cape!
God bless ya and have a beautiful day!!!

Nice shot!
Looks like the flying squirrel got the better of those big dogs!
Best shot EVER!! Awesome.
I’ve seen squirrels fall onto pavement from hydro wires, then hop up and dance the fandango.
Your pool looks great too. Still haven’t gotten our cracked hoses replaced.
