Monitoring My Backyard and the Neighbors

Posted on April 27, 2008 by Rusty

Boy, there was a lot of interesting stuff going on over at the neighbors today! i had to watch them for a long time. First there were people over there working in the garden. I had to supervise them most of the morning.  Then, and this is the bad part, there were TWO squirrels scampering around in the neighbors yard just on the other side of the fence. They kept going up and down the tree and chasing each other right in front of me. Well I let them have it! They knew what I thought of that kind of behavior!

Bear helped me some, but mostly she just sat around and napped. Big help she is. Boy was I tired by the end of the day. I kept thinking she might give me some ice cream for being such a good boy like Jonesy, Sissy, and Tinky got. But, no!

That is part of bear in the corner of the picture. She was napping when I finished talking to those squirrels. I was about out of breath, as you can see. She COULD have gotten up to help.

    Rusty,
    Forget about the neighbors, don’t let those conniving squirrels out of your sight–they can’t be trusted. Ever.

    Hey Rusty,

    I need your help!! We are overcome with baby squirrels and I need an export to get rid of them.
    Since we both live in Texas the MommyI could come & get you & then we can Play. I have 2 little nephews, LLane & Blake, that could come over & play with us and the Mommy could make a turkey meatloaf with mashed potatoe icing just for us.

    Love ya lots…Mona

    Rusty, Good job! I bet those squirrels got a thing or two from you, huh?

    Come on over to my house, you, Jonesy, Tinky and Sissy can have another ice cream party.

    P.S. Taz is no longer blogging and he won’t be sending his Flat Tony around the world. Did you see his last post?

    Mom can’t believe that chair costs $99. I can’t believe there are squirrels that big! Do you think it will run if I chase it?

    That is too funny! Sounds yummy to me!

    Hey Rusty! I came home from school yesterday and there were 4 squirrels hanging under the carport, by the house and in the driveway. They did not move too fast either when I was slowly pulling up. Patch would have loved it~but he would have also hurt himself trying to get to them. Maybe you could come over and take over his duties-hehe!

    WOOF!

    I bet your guardian was real proud of you for taking care of those squirrels. You look like a swell dog.
