Squirrels and birds and bugs

Wow. It really is all I can say. They seem to come out of nowhere. I use to be excited to go out in the yard because it meant running and playing with Kasey, but now... it means WORK! It was sometime last week that my eyes where opened to the work of chasing squirrels and birds. Kasey, my foster brother, showed me how to do it. I will forever be grateful; mom forever annoyed. He even showed me how to climb the fence, too. Mom took a video of me trying out his technique. We have a 5 foot fence that Mom feels I could take. Of course,... I could. Duh.

The birds are also very interesting. Yesterday Mom let Kasey and I out into the yard and there were birds in the grass. Kasey and I flushed them out every quickly. I was exciting! Then I decided to kick it up a notch by jumping in the air and catching one in my mouth. While I thought it was pretty impressive, Mom did not. She yelled, "DROP IT!" which I did. Lame.

Another cool thing I have discovered are June Bugs. These little critters fly around the windows and the yard lights at night. I just jump up and make a tasty snack out of them. Mom thinks I look like one of those dogs doing freestyle dance. She also says it is gross. What does she know?
