Adventures in sunbathing; squirrel saga
Well today is a beautiful day and on any beautiful what better activity to do then sunbathing. Today's sunbathing was like none other I've experienced.
* to give some history on my rad; I live in a back area with full sun, a fence and tons of privacy (no this story isn't about nude sunbathing). There are trees and berry bushes butting up to my fence and spilling over. For the last two years a squirrel (I think it's the same squirrel)runs along the fence line taunting dosha. She gets all riled up and runs back and fourth growling and attempting to leap at it as the squirrel jumps into a tree and scurries off. This squirrel has been doing this purposefully I know because I watched one day and I saw it in a high tree out of doshas sight. It stalked her from the tree then slowly taunted her and then got as close as possible. Well today that sucker will regret making dosha a target. Frankly I think we won't have a squirrel problem anymore. As I'm laying out about to read dosha goes ballistic and starts leaping. Then I see a grey hunk, large, fall from the tree. Oh shit! The squirrel ran the perimeter of my yard, dosha in is wake hopping from one potted plant to the other. Not the jalapeƱos again!! She was going st that squirrel. I ran after her and pulled her from the wounded squirrel. It limped around disoriented. If you are faint of heart or overly animal lover I am sorry for the rest of the story. I got dosha inside. I went around to open the fence from the other side. The squirrel was in bad sorts, frantic. It couldn't find the out. I decided to brave it and I grabbed my big rake so I could shoe it out the gate but as I grabbed it the squirrel found an opening into the neighbors yard. Thinking this is over I let dosha out close the gate and go to put the rake away. Dosha runs to the fence growling and I hear clawing on the wood of the fence. The fucker is climbing back up, coming back. Is it crazy?? I put dosha in the house again and go to knock to off the fence by whacking it with the rake. The squirrel leaps at me. I scream throwing the rake and running the other. I trip cut off and scramble to the house inside safe. I didn't see anymore of that squirrel but it sure gave me an adventure this afternoon. I got a cut on my foot and a limp to prove it. Rest in peace squirrel and I hope you go soon. It seems the injuries it may have sustained might be fatal. I'm sorry for that but as I said earlier, it should have never started something with dosha. Thought I'd share.
