I have evidence that squirrels are trying to kill my dog.
a) I have no nut trees on my property.
b) Whole pecans are showing up in my back yard right under the "Squirrel Monorail" furnished by utility companies.
c) Squirrels sit on the SquirMono and see their deadly adversary (Cooper) jumping up and down barking and snarling and have watched his behavior to learn that he is a true omnivore - one squirrel told the others at an emergency local squirrel session, "I've seen him, he tries to eat basketballs and empty coffee cans and hippos - he must be 'elimi-nut-ed', do I see a show of tails wagging in agreement?",
A flurry of furry fans the meeting room,
"do I have a volunteer assassin?"
--silence--
"what a bunch of chickens"; exclaims the leader, "guess we'll have to get outside help for this job"
Photo Notes: The second photograph, of the squirrel with the nut in his mouth, was taken right by the backyard gate that is in the first photograph. There was no editing or "Photo-Shop-ing" of the photographs except for cropping. The second photograph was taken several weeks after I wrote the original story.
