Special Note: Ranger has found a new hobby – Ground Squirrels. The little guy pictured at the top of the post has lots of friends in our campsite. They’re somewhere between a prairie dog and a chipmunk. They’re much smaller than our native grey squirrels and most fascinating to Ranger is the fact that they live in the ground. On day one or two he chased one of these little guys back to its hole on the outskirts of our campsite. Every time we have come back to the campsite, when Ranger is let out of the truck he races at TOP SPEED to the hole. Maybe he thinks he’ll catch the little guy napping at the edge of the hole?
