Squirrel, you look so fat and helpless in the plum tree and we call for
you to jump to the maple tree, but today you will miss the tree and we
will get you and we don't know what we will do, but it will be
something, but the snow is so deep that you burrowed and then you were
running past us up the maple tree and we were confused and
disappointed...

But we look up with hope that someday the snow will not be so deep and
you will still be so fat and we will see you in our mouths.

Teddy asked that I pass the following message along: "Squirrel may be
fat, but he is not helpless. If he ends up in your mouths, be very
careful. A couple of weeks ago I thought I was lucky to get a fat
squirrel in my mouth when he accidentally got caught in one of the
paths in our deep snow. I was pretty pleased with myself as I trotted
up the yard with the big squirrel in my little mouth, and boy was the
squirrel mad, making all sorts of noises. But the next thing I knew,
it was me instead of the squirrel making all sorts of noises because
the squirrel grabbed my face and I was shaking my head trying to get
him off!"

The mental image of Teddy with the squirrel hat is funny now, but I
almost crapped myself.

Lucy thinks carrying is for those purebred retriever dogs, so she just
ate the fat squirrel she caught. Chomped it right down, tail twirling
outside her mouth. I believe she was DH's dog that day.

Tasha did that too with every squirrel she caught, and there were
several. She never bothered chasing a squirrel unless she knew she
could catch it, after masquerading as a husky statue until the
squirrel apparently believed she was one. We were always a little
amazed that there was no trace left of the squirrel when she was
finished (I can't believe I ate the whole thing!)...

I finally had to call Good Ol' Murphy from her squirrel watch.
Poor little rodent knew that there was no escape and was tiring
quickly.

Pretty gross, isn't it? I was shocked as well. Gulping the whole damn
thing down as fast as she could, with a bit of crunching going on. I
think she's not fast enough anymore, but I'm pretty sure Rudy tag teamed
with her to get that one a couple of years ago, so they may still be in
cahoots!

And the schnauzers say that squirrels should be killed immediately. They
(squirrels, rabbits, snakes, chipmunks, mice, moles and slow birds) are rats
and all rats are to be killed as soon as you can get teeth on them.

Sassy says that after they are killed, there is no need to carry them
anyplace. Once they are dead they can and should be ignored.

Spenser says that after they are killed - if YOU were the killer, you get to
carry it around whining. (Does not apply to snakes) If Sassy were the
killer, then you should go look for the squirrel's brother. Because her
kill does not exist to you.

Either way, after the death of one invader, for the next several hours or
even days there should be an increased border patrol presence. We do not
allow undocumented invaders within our fences.

That is just pure poetry, that is.

There was a moment when I thought Beanie had it and that there was
going to be something that I wasn't going to want to deal with - like a
rodent attacked dog - but luckily, I was wrong.

Yes, you don't want to deal with a rodent-attacked dog. Particularly
on a Sunday, when most vets are closed. Fortunately, I keep
antibiotics around, so a trip to the emergency clinic wasn't
necessary.
