| Squirrels!??!!?? Autumn was alittle crazy this morning so I took her out for a walk to burn off some of her energy. About 1 mile into our walk I saw two squirrels on a lawn, they saw us and froze. The next thing I see is one of the squirrels come running after us. I put my foot out to scare him and what do you know the other one jumps out at us. I had to pick Autumn up and actually try to kick the squirrel because he was RUNNING after us and making this crazy sound. It wasnt until my foot actually touched him that he stopped. I think he was going to bite me!?! Has anyone ever been bitten by a squirrel, I did not think they would do that!:squirrel |

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | are there any case of rabies in your area? Seems unual that they would try to attack either of you. Check with the Humune Society in your area.

| were you near a park or something? I'm thinking perhaps the squirrels are used to people feeding them....maybe they weren't trying to attack as much as just wanting to be fed?

| There are squirrels on my college's campus that do that. I guess they are overly tame with people.

| Apparently they are like that in London, I've never been so I don't know, but people that I know that have save they have no fear and will attempt to steal food from you... maybe they had babies somewhere close and saw you as a major threat and just wanted to clear you from the area?

| You might find that they have been fed by humans and are now demanding food from you this is not normal behavior, therefore I am sure the human hand is in there somewhere |
