Squirrels are making my Dog crazy...
... He is going to have a heart attack!
There is a squirrel nest in our chimney, I have been hearing scratching and "barking" noises today. There are also leaves and sticks poking out of the flu , so there is something living in there, for sure. I have an appointment for a pest removal company to come out tomorrow night. (The soonest they can get out here) They were really helpful and knowledgeable, although I wish they could get out here sooner.
Sam is a nervous dog by nature. And anything that moves, he has to chase it. (I think that he has terrier in him) His energy is making me nervous. I hate to see him start shaking near the fireplace. 
Poor guy. Any tips on calming him down? I think we are going to go for a long walk really soon.
Re: Squirrels are making my Dog crazy...
This helps a lot. Sam loves to sit at the window and bark at anything that passes by. I don't know how to train him away from that yet.
We walked around our little block a couple of times and I gave him a peanut butter kong, which should distract him for the rest of the night. I also put one in the freezer for tomorrow.
I am thinking of also keeping the tv music station on tonight and turning on some soothing music. Is that too crazy?
ETA: I suck at grammar
I just need to say that you had my attention the moment that you put squirrel nest and chimney in the same sentence.
I hope that your dog is okay. I'm sure he'll probably just tire himself out and sleep really well. Unless the squirrels break into the house....
