lmao

My little dog wouldn't last a minute out there, he's only a little over 3 pounds.

My favorite part was this:

Maybe I'll be relieved of the free roaming cat that is leaving his remains on my sidewalk and driving my dog nuts, which in turn wakes me up thinking there is a burglar outside my house.

This is ALMOST as bad as Will's Beaver and Skunk attacts!

This cartoon has been around before, but found it fitting again.

Posts: 4,561	But Dale, this story's true --if you can believe the local Russian squirrel watchers . As a former reporter at a small town daily newspaper, I have a feeling some big cityslicker reporter's leg is being pulled, but hey, it makes good copy...

The squirrels over there are spoiled rotten by the visitors who feed them constantly. I recently moved there and didn't know better. When this baby squirrel came up to me for begging, I gave him a peanut. Next thing I saw was that he climbed up my leg and aggressively attacked my pocket with the peanuts. I shook him off and made a few steps backwards, but this tiny thing charged fearlessly to get all my nuts. I didn't want to hurt him, so I started running. Urban legend amongst the locals still recalls that foggy morning in the park when this character (that's me) was seen running away, with a baby squirrel on his heels... True story.

Something out of Monty Python meet Steven Speilberg. Foggy morning, man flees before A KILLER BABY SQUIRREL. I can just see the little squirrel's head bouncing in and out the thin layer of ground fog as it nears your leg, then see your flailing arms as you get pulled down into the fog...--It's "Jaws" in the park

That's exactly the image I was trying to convey.
