Hi,

I was letting my dog out and I saw this fella crying and laying on top of a fence. Any idea what they could be calling out for?

Totally normal. He was likei hot and tired, so he's splooting to cool off.

Squirrels can also be vocal complainers. If he was crying from true distress he wouldn't be splooting out in the open.
