<DIV>colt's story this morning of that sneaky squirrel tripping his mama
reminded me of something that happened years ago. i was still inbed, but
awake one morning, laying on my stomach when i felt a weight on my leg.
more than half-asleep, i thought "it's the cat again." and then i realized
I DON'T HAVE A CAT!! i kicked hard and spun around and there was a
squirrel flying off the bed!! i bounced out of bed, grabbed a broom and
chased him into the bathroom, to the open skylight. and he jumped up to
the counter and out the skylight. but as i looked around the house, i
found a huge hole in a screen which he had used to get IN! i had a huge
tree that was higher than the 2-story house and at that particular window, the
branches were right next to that window, so for some reason this would-be
assassin decided he needed to get in!</DIV>
<DIV>to make this basset related, gus could never join ASTT, he looks at them
with total indifference. so had gus been with me at the time of the
squirrel invasion, he might have invited him for tea!</DIV>
<DIV>susan, loving slave to gus</DIV>
