Sasha vs. Squirrel

One of Sasha's favorite things to do is protect our home from Squirrels..those annoying rat like creatures. She takes personal offense to them daring to live in the trees in our backyard. The creatures enjoy taunting her - coming just far enough down the tree to stare at her.

SQUIRREL.. quite annoyed with Sasha as she is keeping it at home today instead of scurrying around on the ground storing nuts for the winter season.

Flat squirrel

Today is February 26, 2009. On my way home from taking our eldest to middle school, I ran over a squirrel. I killed a squirrel.
There he was chattering to his little friends on the shoulder of the road. I just knew it wouldnt jump my way. But it did! Uggh!
I was on a two lane road. There was a car on the other side so I couldn't get over. It was horrible!
Poor little thing won't he high fiving anyone in the center of the road, like on the commercials. He ran under my tire.
It was horrible.

There I still don't feel better. I hope he was scooped up by something today so it will not be there for me to see.
