Can you imagine being the photographer
who caught this?

| Mom takes action!! |
 |
| Dog gets it from Mom and baby gets away! |
 |
| Mother consoles baby
and... The look on the dog's face is priceless... This has to be what he is thinking... "What the hell happened? Did I just get my
butt kicked by a
squirrel?"

Here you have got some really good action! Nothing like mother's love to save both child (and the day for us bloggers) :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with Mama!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lifetime of a shot and not one but the whole sequence. Excellent.
ReplyDelete"You mess with my baby and I’ll give you what for!"
ReplyDeleteIt really pays to have camera at the ready at all times.
Great action shots, and it looks like somebody was having fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs for the sweet Schnauzer,

That is so cute, Sylvia. That mama squirrel is precious!
ReplyDeleteyes, yes you did. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww!! So love it!! Getting all dewy eyed now!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic series! Sometimes size does matter - the little guy takes home the trophy! :)
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor just got a black lab puppy. So very cute but what a handful. They take him outside for 30 minutes and he does nothing. Steps inside the door and puddles all over the place! It's gonna take a while!
That tribute to Sam is just beautiful, Sylvia!
You certainly know how to make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this series before, it's truly classic. Never mess with a child near it's mother!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the element of surprise and had he not been caught off guard it would have been different. But Mothers tap into hidden resources when their child is in danger.
ReplyDeleteDog," What was that???"
ReplyDeleteIf I was the photographer, I'd try to save the baby squirrel. Not sit there and take pictures. Pfft!
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with a Mama of any species. From the look on the dog's face, I think he learned that lesson.
ReplyDeletelove this series of the photos . Fortune favors the brave
ReplyDeleteOMW What action photos and what bravery from that mama squirrel. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're having a good day, Sylvia. Greetings Jo
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteWow that really is amazing - but I know how momma squirrel did that - it echoes what happened with me in the rat episode (Menosukhi Monday at Meno this week). Preservation of the ones we love is dominant at times like this.
Hugs Sylvia and keep strong. YAM
Awesome shots! So glad the mum saved her baby.
ReplyDeletePerfect for Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, great timing!
Squirrel bites can be nasty but I'm glad the baby was saved.
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel turned into a tiger when it came to protecting her baby grrrrrrr :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent report, menuno time.
ReplyDeleteGreetings. -
That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, I am so sorry to hear about Sam. You have my sincerest sympathy.
