Snicker Saturday - The Fake Out

Hey everyone!  Happy Snicker Saturday!    Well, this snick is on me...again...sort of.   I gotta say in my defense that it took Mom and Dad about a year to figure this out, but when they sit at their table to eat, they get a front row seat to all the critters that like to invade my territory.  They can see out the window onto my deck where the birdies, squirrels, racoons, flying squirrels, etc all come to eat seeds.  This, of course, drives my K9 cop self absolutely bonkers!  Invaders!!  So, every time they would get to Ohh-ing and Awe-ing about some other critter on my deck, I'd run to the window with my best Grrr, Woof, Leap, Jump and fit-throw to chase them all away.  The snicker on my peeps is that they seemed to think I had some super K9 senses to hear or smell these invaders...then one day...much, much later, they finally caught on that I just watched them.  Whenever they get excited and point out the window, I knew it was my cue to charge!  BOL BWAR  Now, I do have super K9 senses, but not that good.  Well, that was the last of my fun at their expense, because now that they are onto me...they take horrible advantage of my cop-dog self.  Now they just periodically point and act excited so I will run to the door...alas for no reason at all.  Then they just snicker at my forlorn self.  I just can't help it...I get had over and over, but  can't resist the bait just in case there might really be another invader!    [THIS IS THE POINT IN THIS POST WHERE ALL OF YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO SNICKER AT MY EXPENSE..GO AHEAD, IT'S OKAY.]  Anyway, that's a long story, but you sorta get  double snicker this way.  My peeps were really slow to catch on, and now I get the frequent fake-out.  Oh well, our entertainment value remains high.  Enjoy your snicker and here are some pix of the action:

Here's the view from the table in the kitchen.

I did my job and ran to the door...alas, nothing there.  Teeheees from my peeps.

I'll always charge...sometimes there are invaders in need of a scolding!!

Happy Snicker Saturday,

Grr and Woof,

Sarge,  COP  (Chief Of Police)
