Should be taught shouldn't it?

He'd rush out of the door, barking all the while, looking for a squirrel. Of course, he never even came close to catching one, but it was fun to watch.<br /><br />As for the aging thing, well, it's better to Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794079257866559509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-8847249110255691922011-09-11T14:40:57.243-07:002011-09-11T14:40:57.243-07:00Mark - He does look rather pugnacious.

Beefcake fits this guy.<br /><br />Gee, now it is "Pick on Anita". I suppose it's true that the old folks really shouldn't scare the "young'ns". :) There you go with that mind control stuff again.

I see it! Looks like this squirrel works out a bit.<br /><br />Hey, about that aging thing, some of us are still trying to live in ignorance ok? ;-) Glad your husband is doing ok.

I loved every minute of it.<br /><br />These ground squirrels don't have the cuddly look of the squirrels I had been accustomed to either.

The Husband hasn't yet fully made his peace with the wreck they make of things. The business of the mysteriously half-eaten tomatoes, he can handle, but tunnels under the edges of the house and all the rather treacherous holes in the backyard still get under his skin. He call the squirrels rats with fluffy tails, Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-267526772880933582011-09-10T14:12:13.850-07:002011-09-10T14:12:13.850-07:00Years ago I was at war with squirrels because they...Years ago I was at war with squirrels because they ate more ob the birdseed I put out than the birds. I've since reconciled with them and now we have an agreement - I continue to feed the birds and the squirrels can eat whatever falls to the ground (which is substantial, I think). <br />Denial has been my friend for a very long time and we have a wonderful (and needed) relationship.

Wise words, sir. And, yes, do write more. I will interested to read more thoughts on the subject. <br /><br />I am happy that the squirrel brought a smile to your face.

I couldn't imagine seeing everything, all that will ever happen, to look over the edge and having a quick glance at the eternity, where nothing really exist. Hmmm, I have to write on that, too, some time...<br /><br />Anita, you cute squirrel was exactly what I needed. It made me smile, too.Ove Janssonhttp://www.ovepove.senoreply@blogger.com
