The Surge is Not Working

Greetings humans and others,

Well, the critter wars are in full force. One bird feeder is down by the escape route under the fence this morning. The good news is that it is the broken one that was glued and duct taped back together anyway. Plus, it was nearly empty! Ha, ha.

Missy Linda, who will use any distraction to get away from what she is supposed to be doing, put a surge in force yesterday to get rid of Mr. Old Man Squirrel. She is getting her pitching arm in shape very well. The only thing is- - -girls are not allowed to play baseball. (Don't get her started on that!) Anyway, he did not move a muscle when she hit the feeder on which he was perched. He did ramble away after she actually hit him, but he wasn't very scared. Of course, he knows that is going to put her in a tizzy! Mr. Squirrel, please do not make life hard for the rest of us by thumbing your nose at Missy Linda! Just go along with her, please. You can eat all you want when she is at school, ok?

Tomorrow: The cat connection.
