The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for April 18, 2024

But you have your own reason to love trees.

I am with the squirrel on this one. Sorry, Koko.

Wouldn’t have worked with my German shepherd. She chased a squirrel across the pasture past me, launched herself up at about 10 feet from the electrical pole the squirrel was on and snatched it off at the six foot mark!

Wood you beleaves he is use the old treeck.

Without them, squirrels family tree would remain a sapling.

He’s just another tree-hugger.

Squirrels don’t forget where they berried their acorns, they plant them and leave them. ;-)

My cats would go up the tree after the squirrel and then be upset that they have to get down.

And they called it Maple love

Oh I guess they’ll never know

How good your strong bark really feels

And why I love you so

Just another sappy song by Paul Anka that didn’t make the charts.

There’s also fences. :)

I had a big “jock” of cat who spent most of a week in a 200-year-old oak tree. She was chasing squirrels 4/7 (that’s maximum cat hours). Eventually she figured out the squirrels had the overwhelming tactical advantage of being able to run along the bottom of the enormous tree limbs.

That’s sweet!
