Pointing at squirrels

Penny is very prey-oriented. Very squirrelly! We often go for walks and she will either see or smell a squirrel and freeze instantly. Her body goes taunt and she'll point every now and then with her left paw. One day, I stood for about 10 minutes in the neighborhood whilst she pointed at a squirrel munching on who knows what on the lawn about 20 feet from her.

She also has some outstanding eye sight and can pick a squirrel out in the trees from a tenth of a mile or further.

Unfortunately, she also hunts while walking, so she doesn't always listen or pay attention to me. She also doesn't care to work on training for the electric fence - instead she looks across the yard over the warning flag - for squirrels in trees.

Penny has a doggie friend (unfortunately, not Thomas). Penny loves to romp with Daisy, a friend's dog. They body slam each other, try to bite each other's collar, and create mayhem wherever they go.

The weather has turned much colder now and we are playing inside a lot more. Thomas and Penny aren't playing together very often, so we try and keep her entertained as much as possible. Here is another picture of her playing ball.

I didn't have the chance to catch Penny playing with Daisy, a friend's dog, yesterday in the living room. Penny was quite energetic, hip checking Daisy and trying to bite her collar.
