Critter Crisis

We've had critter troubles. Chipmunks are trouble no matter what, no matter where. Darren had some target practice courtesy of the little munchkins. If only they would stay out of the garage and out of trouble!! Now I am an animal lover, really I am. And so is Darren and so are the boys. That being said - we believe that animals serve a purpose, like providing meat for us. When animals serve no purpose - or their only goal in life is to bother us - then we do something about it. Chipmunks are destructive to property. Its a fact. SO - in our best interest - we needed to take care of that.

Next critter problem involves squirrels. We are not too bothered by squirrels. About the worse thing they do is climb the screen to get to the suet feeder by the kitchen window. Not a big deal, until I scare one and it pees on the window. YUCK! The boys got a big - no scratch that - HUGE kick out of that. It was the talk of the house for a good hour. That's big around here. :-)

Blase would like to take care of a certain squirrel. If only we could figure out which one it was. See for yourself - what would you want to do? We laughed and then sighed and then laughed again. In its defense - it only picked on the trees that were already dying.
Ohh I'm so hungry. What's in here??
What about this one???
Yummm, JACKPOT!!!
Oh so young and tender! Like a good acorn should taste. Now to get rid of this stinkin' tree.
Stubborn ol' tree! LET GO ALREADY!!
This is more work than it should be! OH, why can't I remember where my acorn stash from last winter is. I need some Ginkgo Biloba!!!!
COME ON! One more time and I'm giving up!!
Ahhh, sweet success. I think I burned 1200 calories to get this silly thing.
