Keep in mind that even though they may be cute, squirrels are rodents, and rodents are natural prey for yorkies. Also, keep your yorkies away from the squirrels as they can be disease carriers. I have a maple tree in my front yard with a squirrel nest up top, and if Sophie sees a squirrel, all hell breaks lose. If Sophie is outside, even in our front yard which is enclosed and wrought-iron gated, she is never off the leash as we live in an urban residential area. |
