War

I deleted my old account and started fresh with my in chapter of life.

I want to explain first hand that I am an animal lover! And that until your in a situation you should never judge until you hear the whole story...... :)

Beginning with my flowers, I have some very special ones...I know your thinking they're just flowers and they'll grow back. But these are some from my grandfather who has passed away, and bulbs planted in honor of a dear pet of mine that passed away. So I'm a bit attached to them. I got a call and I was told that one of my bulbs was missing. I'm like oh great I bet the squirrel's got it. (You know they love bulbs). I got home found it in the yard, figured it was to heavy for them to carry (it's about the size of my hand) and I put it back in the pot.

Days have passed and every few I get the same call "your bulb is missing." I 'm thinking man don't they get it the first time they can't carry the darn thing!! So I gave up on it and it is officially MIA. I told my husband that IT WAS WAR amongst the squirrel world and I needed a BB GUN like know. (Why we have a every other gun but this one???)
I think he laughed at me a little and humored me by saying okay.
You see we have lots of pots and gardens and trees in pots we are growing. And every year they dig holes in them, I suppose looking for nuts? Sometimes they steal my bulbs! You would think they would remember where they hide there nuts, but no they are I have concluded they stupidest yet smartest rodent I've encountered. They don't remember where they put their nuts, they eat the pecans off the trees before they are ready....and continue to pull them off and bit into it realizing it's not ready, they do it again. Hello you should be smart enough to understand if they first ones not the second one won't be!! Since your smart enough to eat them.

I have covered holes back up and come back next day and there's a hole there again? Really? do they not remember or smell there stink in that area?
Now, we have about 4 pecan trees in our yard, and yes I'm very aware that the squirrels have found their haven, but sometimes there's just too many and it's no longer okay, needless to say there is a million little pecan trees that came up this year and my husband is so excited, he planted them in pots and some people came and picked some up, a few days go by and I get a call and the first words I hear " IT"S WAR WITH THE SQUIRRELS" all I could do was laugh,. Apparently he planted some trees walked inside for 5 minutes and the trees had been up rooted. He was furious!!!

So someone at work let me borrow a BB Gun, and we have shot several, and I got my heart broken and fix all in one day but I'll have to tell you about that tomorrow! Good night
