The great squirrel chasers

A couple of weeks ago, Paul and I were up in Heber, kicking back and enjoying the cool weather when all of a sudden both dogs took of running and barking.  Our first thought was they were after a rabbit and we would have a hard time stopping them.  But as we ran around the other side of the trailer, they both were at the bottom of one of the trees, looking up, barking, and double dog daring this cute little squirrel to come  down and play.
Here is the first tree he ran up to get away from the dogs

Isn't he a cutie?  Poor little thing was petrified.

You can't see him in this picture very well, but he ran up this one

If you look really close in the upper left part of the tree, you can see him.  Meanwhile, two birds were attacking him and he kept dodging and running around the top of the tree to get away from them.
Poor little guy was getting it from the dogs and the birds, and he was barking back at all of them giving them a piece of his mind.  We finally grabbed both dogs and let the little guy run off.
