She doesn’t give up.

Neither snow nor rain… nor frigid temperatures will stop the red squirrel from Hell.

She was scurrying over the roof and across the deck railing…

Trying to make her way to the seed buffet.

But this snow was light, fluffy and thick and every time she tried to walk across it?

She fell through.

And yes, I laughed my rapidly expanding, thank you Covid 19 ass off.

But she had the last laugh.

Because the bitch has learned to tunnel.

She tunneled for over an hour.

Back and forth.

Building an entire red squirrel subway line.

This doesn’t bode well for my dream of her dying of starvation over the winter.

Or the safety of our home’s foundation for that matter.

If I wake up next month with her sitting at the kitchen table nibbling my Krispy Kreme’s? Things are going to get real.

  3. You can’t fool me — you’re too softhearted to want Ms. Red Squirrel to die of starvation. I suspect that beneath that hard-nosed facade, you really admire her boldness and inventiveness. So admit that she doesn’t deserve such a cruel fate — you’d much rather kill her with your bare hands in as short a time as possible.

  6. She’s in the tunnel thinking “I wonder if that lady is still out there. I think I’ll pop up and take a look…heehee!”

    Maybe it’s time to practice saying, “here, have a bite of donut.” Get the ones with the nut crunch on top.
