no, he is asking for his fees

Katy can track down the squirrel easily. After all, she is a nut!

In my house I just say “Squirrel!” to my dog. Nature does the rest.

The belly rub is an INCENTIVE!

Belly rubs first, then hunt.

I thought dogs didn’t need to be persuaded to hunt squirrels, they just had to see one and go into full on SQUIRREL!! mode

All god’s chillun gots bellies!

OMG I would so be up for rubbing a squirrel’s belly.

Cats have bellies, too. Just don’t rub them if you value your hand.

No Gumbo, wrangle squirrel first, then you get a belly rub as reward. And we’ll throw in some skritches.

Maybe the squirrel will see Gumbo getting a belly rub, and come over to get one.

I hope the squirrel is playing with Nick.

My dog growing up always wanted belly rubs. She was a big husky/Irish setter mix that looked like a golden retriever. As a kid, I got bored after a while and wished she’d want to fetch, or play, or do anything else. That dog spent way too much time all alone in our back yard though. Looking back, I feel sorry that she didn’t get more attention. I wish, at least, that she had had another dog to play with during the day.
