I stumbled on to your blog which I have secretly been reading while at work an hour (or two) a day (I have to start everything from the very begining) and I've come this far... January of 2007 - and my cover was just blown wide open after reading this post and laughing histerically all by myself to which my cubicle neighbor asks "are you ok?" ...."of course I'm ok I'm just laughing!" Anyway I don't even know if you will read this since its been so long since you posted but I will try and comment once I am caught up! Thanks for the laughs, the tears, the anger and excitement! I look forward to reading more!

Well, we have a dog, and she once in her life clamped a squirrel in her jaws, and was almost more shocked than the squirrel (dropped it when we shouted at her). She's a lab mix and is far more interested in things that take less effort to eat. Now she's geriatric and has a heart condition and I try to keep her from bolting at anything, so as to stave off the inevitable coronary. Heavy sigh. Here she is at her most intimidating: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbfamily/248030235/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/89/248030235_8c4fdc0a1f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Boodily takes a bath" /></a> If you were a squirrel, wouldn't you kind of just snicker? Not that it'd be nice. But it <em>would</em> be appropriate. Ah, yes.

If you were a squirrel, wouldn’t you kind of just snicker? Not that it’d be nice. But it would be appropriate.

Personally, I hate squirrels, but that's because I had a dog for 14 years who hated squirrels. Now, I see one and I feel the urge to bark and chase them. Maybe you should get a dog? Just a thought.

Three days later, the tetanus shot area is still sore, and the finger's fast recovering, but I'm sure my pride will never be the same again. At least I hope not. And good luck with the potty mouth. Folks like us need it. Thank you. Three days later, the tetanus shot area is still sore, and the finger’s fast recovering, but I’m sure my pride will never be the same again. At least I hope not.

I could not help but laugh through the whole post! Thank you for sharing. Oh my God, your outbursts sound just like mine. My favorite word. I'm hoping when we have our child that it's not first word she learns. You'd think the squirrels would be sweet and cute and harmless...too bad it's not true. It's now Wednesday evening. Are you feeling better? jon - I like the super-powers idea! SJ Hilarious! I could not help but laugh through the whole post! Thank you for sharing. Oh my God, your outbursts sound just like mine.

We have some squirrelies who live in the oak tree in the front yard. In our case, however, Fergus the dog makes sure they never get too close. They sit on the telephone lines and tease him. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. (Too bad it wasn't a radioactive squirrel--maybe you could have gotten squirrel super-powers.) Ouch!
