SHHH!!! Squirrel spying

Madeleine on My Blog - Wed, August 08 2007

Heads up Gypsy and Perl...it's me, Madeleine. This is a picture I took of the squirrel who might be in cahoots with the Persian spy and the big orange intruder cat who comes into our yard. He was trying to lie there, looking nonchalant and fatigued by the heat, but I know better. It was a reconnaissance mission. Do you have any advice about what I should do next? Barking my fool head off has not resulted in any information.

Ohhhhhh man oh man oh man. Toothy death to all intruder squirrels!! Do I sound fierce? Darn squirrels don't seem to think so. They just laugh at me. But then, they ARE on the other side of the fence and I can't get to them. I bet they would be singing a different tune if I could only just get to them!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Madeleine, if you load up with a mouthful of water, just what would be your accuracy and range for a good healthy spit?

I jump REAL HIGH into the fork of the tree and wait there real quiet like (Basenjis don't bark) and hope he will come that way. Hasn't worked yet though.

Looks like he's trying to blend in with his enviroment. To bad that fuzzy tail gives him away. Can you operate a chain saw??

Perl, what will happen if I manage to get spit on him? Does our spit have some sort of stupefying power that I am not aware of? Come to think of it, some of you hounds and sporting types have some powerful hooch. You might need to come over and launch it at him. I'm a little thing.

With a sufficiently powerful blast, you can knock these little Nazis out of a tree. With their short legs, and a slight stun, you've got him. If nothing else, it will ruin their spy gear. Being basically Eastern European in nature, it breaks and rusts easily, and it might even get its pilot light doused.

A squirrel was doing this SAME THING, just laying there in my yard, too!! That picture could have been our tree. Don't try to get him today, wait for cooler weather...it's almost too hot to bark, too.

Madeleine,

I've convinced my owner to accept the reality of the feline/sciurus conspiracy. He went out today and bought me a stuffed squirrel. I'm pretty sure he's preparing me for the insurrection.

Man O Man! I don't have squirrels in my yard! Can I come over to one of your houses to see what that's like? I've only had one encounter...and it was in the form of road kill that I got to carry around in my mouth. Pleeeaaassse!? ARRROOOOH!
