Juniper Friday! "Please Appreciate My Munk"

Juniper, a dog, sits by the window and looks at the camera with one of her tiny chipmunk toys between her front paws.

Juniper gives the chipmunk a little affectionate sniff/nuzzle with her snoot.

Since posting about them a couple months ago, I have since been informed that Juniper’s tiny toy friends are in fact chipmunks, not squirrels. Regardless, she remains a big fan of them, carrying them gently by the scruff from place to place and keeping them near as she keeps watch out the window, or watches television, or naps. She is gentle with them even relative to her other stuffed toys (all of which are handled far more delicately than Barley ever would). So, I am convinced that in her fundamentally doggy way, she perceived the chipmunks as Baby.
