Squirrel tracing and snow racing sure makes for a lot of fun in our backyard. Since humans are into contact tracing these days we decided to get into squirrel tracing. Believe me, there is plenty to trace in our backyard. Those tree rats are all over the place! Sometimes we need a break, and that is when the snow racing comes into play. It was snowing on and off which added to the whole fun thing.
Bailie did the most squirrel tracing out of the three of us. See how determined she is? That tree rat obviously ran over the snow and right up that tree!
Olivia also enjoys keeping tabs on the stink of squirrels climbing our trees. She found another tree covered in squirrel smell!
When the squirrel tracks are fresh, Bailie gets some speed in her step as she cruises along the fence line. Unfortunately, we did not catch even one squirrel.
It looks like Olivia was checking the pine trees for rabbits too. Rabbits often live under pine trees, but not when Olivia was there. She decided to get her speed on and hit the road.
As Olivia races and takes a corner, Mom says one can really see how she is all legs. It appears she is pretty determined as she runs too.
Even I, with my short legs, can get some g-force going when I want to be speedy! It sure looks like it, doesn’t it?
Not only does Olivia have long legs, she has a long body. Look at how long she is when she stretches out! People always comment on how long she is when they meet her in the furs!
One doesn’t have to be long, lean and crazy to be in a rush. I like to be slower and steady which works for me, but I am in a rush as you can see. We are hoping for some more snow, and it is supposed to get colder which would be great! TGIF!
My GBGV Life is joining Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
You girls are adorable! Well done out there squirrel tracing!! It is very important work and each one of you looks terrific doing it! have a great Friday! your friend Lilly
We all have our things we enjoy doing out in the yard. Fresh snow just makes it all more fun. Happy Friday to you all!
You are such intent huntress! Me, not so much. I let my Puffin do the hunting. I sometimes miss snow. I am trying to take care of my mommy, and Puffin is my assistant. Have a wintery weekend! XOXO, Sparkle
It is still snowing, really pretty big flakes but we are going to nap for a while. It’s tiring hopping around in the heavy snow, but we love it. Take good care of your mom.
Squirrel chasing and snow racing. What fun you girls were having. We are so jelly of all your snow.
Happy Nature Friday!
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
We are so thankful to have a fresh load. At our house there is no such thing as too much snow.
Sounds like you’re going to have a very busy weekend searching for squirrels. Enjoy. I hope you get more snow because I know how much you love it.
It is still snowing, but it will be ending soon. Hopefully it will get colder so it will stick around with us for a couple months.
You are all so happy to romp in the snow. So adorable.
Have a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your mom. ♥
Thank you. We, including Mom, love to be out in the snow. Happy Friday!
Cold and snow make for great hunting and great smells!
Odor sinks in the cold and spreads in the heat. This time of year, we are always sticking our noses into the snow to try to get at the odor.
that is amazing what fabulous noses you have… all da squirrels would be ours if we had such noses!!!
You girls are having so much fun in your snow! Can I please come for a visit? We have no snow in our forecast in the near future – just yucky rain.
We had some rain with our snow yesterday, so there is now lots of ice and crusty snow which is a bummer.
Y’all sure are having some seriously fun snow romps!
We love hopping around in the snow.
OMGBGVs you ladies have supercalifragilisticexpecalidous (not sure this is correctly spelled) noses!!
Hugs and I hear you are getting more snow today
Cecilia
That is a huge word, we would not even try to spell it, but glad you almost had it right! We got more snow, but also some rain and it is now an icy mess on the snow, but we are still happy to have snow. Maybe more will come in a few days.
Just looked supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, whew that is scary I was almost right. LOL
We love watching you tracing squirrels!! We wish we had more smaller wildlife in our backyard to chase!
Mom says when she first bought the house, there were only rabbits, but by planting trees, and the neighbors planting some too, squirrels have moved in. Lucky for us!
That certainly seems to keep you girls busy! You have more snow than us. We’re expecting a storm tonight but it might turn to rain. 🙁
Sadly, we got some rain in the midst of the snow, so now things are all crusty, but we still prefer it over no snow.
So what do you think you would do with a squirrel if you caught it?
We are all about the chase and the kill. Probably we would do what we do with rabbits, grab them, break the neck, drop them, and move on. Mom says we are serial killers.
I luv skwerril tracing too – I bet it would be fun in da snow.
The cold and snow gives it a whole different odor picture which is fun.
Hi Guys! It is so much fun watching you guys do zoomies in your back yard! Our squirrels have all seemed to disappeared, much to Cinnamon’s chagrin. She is also wishing we had some new snow! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
The squirrels never disappear for long around here, but we are intent on catching one soon.
You girls are such graceful runners. You’ll get one sometime soon!
We sure hope so. Patience seems to help, but we still can’t keep them from escaping over the fence.
Snow squirrel sounds pawsome! We know y’all are going to catch one this winter.
We sure hope so!
One of Ducky’s favorite outdoor activities – squirrel tracing (and chasing)!!
Hopefully sometimes catching too. We dream of the catching part.
