Squirrelzilla He scampers in our tree Biggest damn squirrel You ever did see Chucks cones like a woodchuck would Chitters like a buzz saw should A bad ass gray Who takes no guff Stands his ground Careless of “ruff” He’ll take on all comers Our Thriller in Manila Our resident rodent Squirrelzilla [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (11-14-2010 12:53 PM).] |

HA! I don't think I'll ever get candy from a vending machine again. As for the obstacle course, Squirrelzilla would probably just knock the whole thing down and hold the dog for ransom. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Hey Eric, thanks for the far north support. I understand they breed them pretty big there in Canada. I think the one I got in the backyard is an immigrant, down for the winter. |

Fair enough nakedthoughts. The road of death is littered with the unwary. Thanks for looking in. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

nakdthoughts: Ya, Dogzilla... one of my favorite quick reads to my class as well. Earl: Welcome back. Glad I could make you smile. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Yep! No doubt, because he runs a Streak up and down the fence line and jumps from tree to tree like Guitarzan. Nice reference there Amaryllis. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Humorous write this, Andrew. Squirrels can be outright nasty, reminds me of the ones which use to destroy our sparrow nests. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Prasad. Sparrows... kind of like crows... flying rats. But as I posted many moons ago... squirrels = rats in designer suits. Truthfully, our family really likes squirrels. But we just have the one. Dark Stranger... Ha! Ya, I never step outdoors unless I'm packin'. Nudge, nudge. Know what I mean? "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |
