This morning Luke and I were slowly walking around the yard minding our own business...okay, I was slowly walking around the yard minding my own business, Luke was being Luke. He was running around investigating things. All of the sudden a squirrel fell off the roof of our house right in front of Luke. We were both so startled we just stood and watched him jump up and run up a tree. He stood there on one of the higher branches and looked down on us just chattering away. He sound angry, or maybe he was embarrassed. I have never seen a squirrel just topple off the edge of a roof before. Have you? Now Luke is spending his morning looking up at the roof waiting for another dizzy squirrel to fall over so he can chase one this time.

@silvermist he sure isn't. He is always on the lookout for the little critters we have running around our yard.

Poor little squirrel I wonder how that has happened. May be he ate something fermented and was drunk.

I have never seen one do that. It would have been a shock.

It was shocking to see a squirrel fall from the sky and then jump up and un. Luke was so shocked he forgot to bark.

Wow, it's lucky he wasn't hurt. I can just imagine Luke forevermore watching the roof waiting for it all to happen again.

Every time he goes outside he stops for a moment and looks up at the roof. They seem to be a resilient little animal.

Even a squirrel can slip up now and again.

They are fast little critters. They normally have very good balance.

Usually they are good jumpers but an accident might take place.

I don't think he was trying to jump, there was nothing for him to jump to.
