Bud shifted gears this morning – I think he’s learning from Chip. Rather than charge at the chipmunk holes and bark and make a lot of noise, he climbed up on top Chip’s favorite place, where he usually pops up to tease and torment Bud.

Bud was quiet and sat looking down at him for the longest time. No sign of Chip. Bud finally gave up and when he got 10 feet or so away, Chip popped up out of his hole and squeaked, sending Bud into a frothing frenzy.

I don’t see Bud winning this battle, but I don’t see him quitting on it either.
