[Vision2020] Squirrel

[J.Sullivan]

Last Sunday there was such a loud noise our entire house shook, followed by
several hours of no electricity. Little did I know, until reading on this
list, the cause was our friendly neighborhood Squirrel.

Several times a day, starting early in the morning, he would scamper along
the tv cable wire, pausing at the junction between my home, and Steve
McClure's. There he would do a sure footed dance and jig, effectively
tormenting Steve's Dog, Isha, and my dog, Dusty. (Remember Dusty, the
runaway, donut hole nabbing dog from Safeway?) The two dogs would dance on
hind legs, yipping and yowling, all the while tails wagging as fast as
Squirrel's tail was jerking, he chirping back to them from a high. Oh, how
he loved to torment those two dogs, jumping from tree to tree, as they would
dash around their respective backyards, attempting the impossible. To catch
Squirrel. Once, he hopped to the top of our cherry tree, only to miss his
branch, ripe cherries flying to and fro as he came tumbling through the
tree, head over paws. Eventually, landing at the foot of the tree. On Dusty'
s feet. So shocked both dog and Squirrel were, they could only stare at each
other in stunned wonder, before running their separate ways.

Squirrel entertained our neighborhood with his pleasant, at times
mischievous nature, and he will be sorely missed by all. Especially Isha and
Dusty.
