Delightful. Commanding visual structuring of the images. We live by a small grove of trees, so lots of squirrels. We have 2 dogs. I have seen the movie you present vividly, starkly to eyes and memory’s ears— squirrel’s claws scratching on the run up the bark & close up I’ve seen squirrel’s glare. Super pen xo

Hello Sally, squirrels always trick the dogs to make them think they are up a tree in front of them. So they spend hours barking at the wrong tree. Yes the squirrels does glare at the dog. Thank you xo

This is great Darlene. My dog loves to chase the black squirrels in a tree outside our fence. They chatter back and run to other trees. Great job here. God Bless, JB

That stare must of had power to it. But most dogs are more bark than bite -- fortunately. Another fine write, Darlene.
