    Rufus is going to stand there until he’s too dizzy to chase anything.

    When it’s mating season, squirrels do get a bit crazy. Rufus is waiting for one to let its guard down.

    One slip, one false step. That’s all it takes …

    My dog treed two and as she barked both fell next to her, stunned. Before any transgressions occurred the two squirrels ran off.

    At that moment, Rufus has an epiphany and decides to go into politics. He thinks he has a real chance to be elected the next Ballard Street Dog Catcher.

    The squirrels in my yard have been chowing down on the sunflower seeds I put out for THE BIRDS but the squirrels are FAT! I’ve never seen such fat squirrels.

    Off topic… but I have a quick message from Plods…

    Some of you have been worried because he hasn’t been around.

    He’s OK…

    He’s currently at home, recovering from a lung transplant, and will come back as soon as he’s able… and better than before!

    There once was a doggie named Rufus, who considered the squirrel a dufus.

    He decided to wait, for an accident of fate,

    all he got was a buildup of mucus…

    Rufus is hoping for a two-fer. Give him big time bragging rights with Scooter

    My mom’s dog used to chase squirrels just for the heck of it. One day, a young squirrel ran toward a tree and made the error of jumping toward the dog instead of the tree. The dog snapped her mouth shut in surprise, her inner wolf told her to shake it, she did and broke its neck. She ate it. After that, she was a squirrel killing machine.

    I was out walking with my cat Johnny Depp when we came upon a lost fawn. It started following him around. He finally climbed partway up a tree to get away from the fawn. When the fawn still persisted and started to give him a sniff, Johnny Depp reared back with his claws out. I decided to intervene.

    “I don’t think we want to do that.”

    The fawn turned away and Johnny Depp “climbed down”.
