But, but…the mouse!

That seems to be what the dog wants.

Throw the cat out first.

Gonna have a new litter of phone poles in about 2 months

What?! And let that squirrel up there get away?

He’s starting with telephone poles and will work up to catching cars.

The dog has been sat on too many times

I hate it when a dog gets stuck up a pole… wait… what?

Obviously the dog’s pose is no surprise for her.

I just heard about somebody who drove out into the countryside and dropped off a dog he didn’t want. DON’T DO THAT!

You see these “Lost pets” on FB all the time. I say, they’re not lost but runaways

Good thing they aren’t in a forest where he can climb a tree

This happens more often with a cat in a tree. I once took Vivekat for a walk in the redwoods in Santa Cruz’ Cowell Park, where dogs are not permitted. She was happy as a kid at Disneyland for half an hour but then went into sensory overload and climbed a tree – a redwood tree. After half an hour of coaxing, I went back to my car and returned with a rope and a backpack. I knotted the rope, climbed up and stuffed her in the backpack. She offered no resistance.

A half hour later, we were back home and she was fine.

I was sore for a week.

It is a very aggressive squirrel that chased him up the pole. He is low enough for her to grab, so there should not be a problem.

Just wrap the leash around the mutt and pole three or four times and walk away.

“May I bring my pole?”

A pole hugger, since there were no trees.

“1. 2. 2 and a half!”

Do you promise?
