The Front Yard

Hello most humans and many others,

Mr. Nelson has made what he considers an awesome discovery. He has learned that there are sometimes squirrels in the front yard as well as the back yard. He enjoys running after the front yard squirrels because there are big trees that he seems to believe he can climb if he just tries hard enough.

All the large trees that shade the back yard are actually on the other side of the fence so he doesn't get to charge the rodents as effectively as he can when he is actually touching the tree, he feels. Missy Linda says that she does expect him to fly over the back fence one of these days because he sometimes gets at least his head higher than the top of the fence when he makes a running jump. It appears that he can get the highest when he is the maddest at the squirrels.

Actually, Missy Linda worries that one day she will come home from work, and Mr. Nelson will be impaled on the top of the wooden fence. I think she is just being a hysterical mother, but she claims she has seen just such a scenario played out on a TV show called, "Emergency Vets". She is literally going to drive me crazy!
