Izzy lapped up water from her bowl and glanced out the sliding glass door. A movement at the top of the fence caught her eye. Squirrel!!!
She watched as the tiny black fur ball sat there, tail twitching. The rodent had a nut in his paws and was tapping it against the top of a board. Then he brought it to his mouth, trying to bite it. Obviously that didn't work since he tapped it against the board again.
Izzy sat there for a few minutes watching the squirrel. It still had not opened the nut. That was dedication. By now Izzy would've dropped the nut and gone on to something else.
She gave a little "woof" and Mommy opened the door for her. Izzy wanted to play. Maybe she could open that nut for Mr. Squirrel. Her teeth were strong. She ran outside and over to the squirrel. The tiny animal looked down at her and froze, then he took off running down the fence. Izzy ran after it, but the squirrel had left the yard.
It had dropped the nut. Izzy trotted over and sniffed it. It smelled like squirrel spit. Yuck. She left it there on the ground and went to lay on her puppy cot. The sun was shining. Who needed nuts or squirrels when you could just enjoy the day, mindlessly vegetating in the heat?
