dissed mistuh


With Baxter's ban from hunting still in effect for at least another two weeks, squirrels now brazenly loot our backyard. In gangs of at least five or more, they take advantage of our hero's restriction and work through the day, scouring the earth for acorns and leaving numerous potholes in the leaf strewn ground while they randomly dig for their nutty treasure.

It used to be that squirrels started running the minute they heard the back door open, but now they continue their work without even looking up. Their safety flight zone, once a respectable ten feet with visual contact or fifteen if they only heard the approaching sound of rustling leaves, has now been reduced to three before they half-heartedly scamper away from our backyard protector.

I am not sure what hacks Baxter off more, the fact that he can't hunt them, or the blatant disrespect they now pay him. Either way, there will be a day of reckoning for these bushy tailed hooligans. Order must once again prevail. Respect must be restored.

All the better to catch them off guard when he goes back on patrol.

Hi, Baxter!
The nerve of those squirrels!
I hope you take them by surprise when you are able to chase them!
Kisses and hugs
