Default eeeeevil squirrels

I need my "esoteric information" fix:

*Why* are squirrels, in a dog's opinion, so eeeevil that the dog must go
nuts when one even venture's to sit on the fence?

'cause the fence belongs to the dog.

Because when you're not looking those squirrels, the same ones who seem like
they're not hurting anyone, send silent signals of torment to dogs. I know
the squirrels around my house torment Fancy and they do so purposely. You'd
have to see it to believe it but the little buggers will purposely do things
to get her attention and then they'll move *just out of the way* and stare
at her.

Ever seen a 65lb Boxer go airborn at top speed only to ram into a privacy
fence and slither to the ground in a daze? This is what the squirrels do to
her. They also come down the tree trunk, make squirrelly noises to get her
attention and then scoot back up to where they are about 1' higher than the
highest point she can reach by jumping. Then they stand there, staring down
at her, flicking their tails jaunily and making noises.

And to make it worse they became a massive problem in my attic, on and off
for years, and would torment her by making scraping noises overhead. She
couldn't see them but she knew they were up there. I've had to chase off
the Boxers in White Coats several times because the squirrels are messing
with my pretty girl's head.

according to my pups, they're not eeeevil, they're just so tasty it's hard
to sit still.

My squirrels come to watch the Viva and Cala show. I have a double
window in the living room. Swear to doG the squirrels come and sit in
front of that window, calmly eating their walnuts perched on their back
legs just to watch the dogs go nuts. Two Dobermans in slavering, teeth
gnashing, growling, barking fury, leaving long trails of doberman spit
all over the window.

I can almost hear one squirrel saying to the other, "this is better than
TV isn't it dear?"
