I have two huge dogs, one Newfoundland and one "pound puppy" that is=20

apiece.  They consider the squirrels entertainment.  They can sit and=20
watch them climb up to the bird feeder and gambol upon the deck for=20
hours.  Stupid dogs.  The only way they would be a threat is if the=20
squirrels tripped over them while the dogs were napping, and I suspect=20=

that the squirrels are much too nimble for that.

Sigh,
