• Poor Otis, it's kinda like fishing. Some days they bite and some days nothing. That last pic says it all. The squirrels are all over the place here all year long. I have a bird feeder on the side of the house along the driveway and they come to see if any anything good has dropped to the ground. Buddy watches from a chair in the living room. When I take him for a walk we go out the garage and he'll real slowly peek around the corner to see if any are there to do a surprise attack. Some have just about lost their little lives within inches.


  • They sure love squirrels. I have to calm them down for half hour every time they see a squirrel.

    We used to have our little westie Bogus, he was a pro squirrel hunter and stubborn as all getout..we used to leave feed for the squirrels in the winter (if you can call what we have here in Houston winter, but oh well, the thought was nice), corn, dried whole corn kernels..well Bogus loved that corn and would eat it with gusto..we had to stop feeding the squirrels because he ate so much of it he couldn't/wouldn't walk with out farting with every step he took..like bullets in his gut..it was too funny, we sure laughed a lot about it, still do when we reminisce about Bogus and his funny little ways..

    The best part about Otis and squirrel hunting..he doesn't say a peep, no barking, no barooing no nothing..so a very quiet sport..

    That's why they are such great hunters. Quick and silent. No one ever sees it coming. 😃


  • He sure is handsome. I love his coloring!


  • Beautiful pictures.. Otis is very handsome!

    Well thanks all. we sure love him, he is a sweetheart and is getting sweeter, more loving as the days goes by.
    I think getting Moses (the podengo) has made Otis realize he is not the only one, he always thought of himself as #1 even though he is our dog #3…
    He is my #1 and he knows that...I am a sucker..
