Today when Brad came home from working at the cemetery, Homer was by Paul's little blue pickup barking and barking. We have had a squirrel that is carrying things off here at the house and being a general pest. We have not even dared to leave the garage door open to cool it off. After seeing the damage at Harlen's summer home caused by a squirrel we have been very cautious.
Brad just knew that that squirrel was up in Paul's truck. So he gave Paul a call. He was on his way home so Brad stayed with Homer until his arrival. Paul started his truck and out ran the squirrel and headed under the Brewer's car and up to the engine. So they started that car and out he ran under the Wood's car and up to the engine. Poor Homer was running her little heart out but the squirrel got away even with Grandpa trying to slow it down. You have seen at a rodeo where the two cowboys flank the calf as it runs out of the chute. That is kind of what our rodeo looked like. Paul and Brad trying to corner the squirrel so Homer and his sidekick Roscoe could get it. Meagan, Tyler, and Garrett were on the Woods back patio and at one time the squirrel was running right up to them but turned back to meet Homer and Roscoe. Meagan jumped up and moved the squirrel headed across the patio and around the corner of the house ----- oops bad maneuver he is now trapped with the fence, Brad and the pups. I know hate to say it but the squirrel will not be a pest at our homes anymore and Homer and Roscoe will need rest and treats tonight.
