Haiku by Dog: Quest
Tweet
Today’s Haiku is by Lilah.
The twitchy little beast taunts. It rains rodent curses down upon my hapless canines. Scampering up a tree trunk, leaping across limbs, it disappears beyond the fence toward an unknown lair deep in the neighbor’s yard.
The chittering foreign laughter, the scent of chaseable mammal, and that irritating banner of a tail are a siren call too powerful to resist. The dogs must follow it, no matter how doomed they are to failure.
The squirrel teases. The dogs give chase.
Repeat.
Endlessly.
What do your pets think about squirrels?

Haha that’s a perfect Haiku! Isn’t it funny how the squirrels always win in the chase game?! Daisy does the same thing, though I doubt she’d know what to do with a squirrel if she ever caught one. 🙂
Thank you. I don’t think my dogs would know what to do if they caught one either!
hahahaha dogs show how the world works :o) it’s “real” life :o)
True. Very true!
Squirrels are truly the superior creatures of earth.
The nemesis of my dogs — and cats!

So true. If the cats and dogs could work together…maybe they’d get those varmints!
We love to watch the squirrels and when they run across the outside of the catio screen, we climb the inside. Fun times. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth snd Calista Jo
I bet those squirrels are little teases, too. Fun to watch, though!
Oh those cheeky squirrels! They like to tease us too. Lucky for them, we’re on the inside and can’t do much about it.
If it weren’t for those windows…ah those squirrels are just plain lucky!
Very cool! The squirrels tease us all the time in the window.
Squirrels will do that. Cheeky little creatures!
Great haiku! It’s absolutely wonderful along with that picture. 🙂
It looks like your pack is having a lot of fun! I hope they enjoyed their chase 🙂 My kitties enjoy watching squirrels on Cat TV.
