Add my thanks.
The bit about barking at squirrels triggered me.
Have a whole tribe of 'em in the cottonwoods by the creek spend most of their time aggravating the dogs, chewing up wires and making more little squirrels.
Spent a long cold week replacing coax they'd messed up and I was thinkin' that I'd like to do a whole lot more than bark at 'em though.
Squirrel and dumplins seems like a positive solution.
