Hot Cross Bun
I walked out our back door tonight, intent on shoveling the driveway and sidewalk, when I noticed something odd on top of the fence. I knew there wasn’t a chance that my wife had left this odd fence ornament there, but I still brought it to her attention anyway; and after looking at it more closely, it didn’t take much to realize what was going on: a squirrel had left us a parting gift after rummaging through our trash.
The dirty, fat, little I’m-safe-cause-I’m-in-the-city rodent.
The squirrels are everywhere around our house, and I really have no real recourse to do anything about it. When we had Brock, he kept them at bay, but now that he is gone these little buggers know they have free reign to do whatever they please.
I’m still thinking about acquiring one of those Whisper air rifles. I’m pretty sure that might do the trick. Or I could hire Andy and Julie; they know a thing or two about putting the hurtin’ on the little scoundrels.

Living in the location we do there are a lot of squirrels bounding across the terrain. Sadie is on the alert and even caught one on her own last month.
Those little tree rats certainly do their part in spreading the walnuts around.
Here in Cali. Arthur if you kill a squirrel in the city with an air rifle the Animal Control will file charges of Animal Cruelty against you.
What a screwed up place California is!!
T. Michael,
I’m honestly not sure if it’s legal here or not, but I can’t say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind a few times.
I see a squirrel war in your future. Good Luck!
We don’t have that trouble here, but are those things live trapable? That could be one way to bring them to hand, or into the basement, or wherever.
