During a recent walk with the husband, Lord Dudley Mountcatten spotted my arch enemy.
.
.
Brazen as could be, Momma Red wasn’t disturbed by his presence and stayed in the feeder happily munching seed.
.
.
His Highness stalked and crept closer.
.
.
But she knew he was inexperienced and bided her time.
.
.
Until he was literally right underneath her and she dove over him to reach the safety of the woodshed… where she sat on a high log and chattered at him.
The bitch was laughing, I know it.
Needless to say I was extremely disappointed with His Lordship’s technique …. and purchased a training tool forthwith.
.
.
Okay, technically it’s a flying squirrel. But the size and color are close enough to stand in for that furry red demon for some close quarter combat drills.
Training begins tomorrow.

River's world..... 
Yeah . . . let us know how that goes. 😀

We do not root for red squirrels here. They’ve chewed their way in to too many of our buildings…

Your squirrels are cuter than the ones we have. Ours are scruffy and mangy looking. Easy to chase them out of the birdfeeder!

She is not cute. She’s a menace…with buzz saw teeth.

A bullet will rid you of this menace immediately and with a minimum of training, assuming there is someone in your family with experience operating small arms. This solution should also appeal to your compassionate nature, as a quick clean gunshot beats being torn to bits by some giant beast, no matter how sweet and lovable he is the rest of the time.

Hawks and foxes will gladly ear a dead squirrel off the ground and spit out the bullet.
