Yeah, those kinds of dreams are great fun, particularly the ones that have the handsome guys helping you escape... oh wait, we weren't talking about those dreams, were we, just - never mind!

"spent actual brain cycles figuring out possible escape routes?"

I think people that live in isolated areas or who are at sea generally consider that they must be prepared to take care of themselves as help may be slow to arrive. Probably city folks ought to start thinking this way also.

Not many dear (I've not seen any), but lots of squirrels.

I've got a lot of those bushy-tailed tree rats! They clean out both of our pecan trees before the pecans are anywhere near ripe. They used to get our corn before we adopted that stray cat and they dig in all my pots! Still...it's a lot of fun popping them with the BB gun.

"I've got a lot of those bushy-tailed tree rats"

Are those good eating?

Yes, so I'm told. They're too much trouble to skin and it's easier getting plastic-wrapped food at the store so I've never actually had any.

One fell out of a tree one day and knocked himself silly, right in front of my labrador. My lab was so shocked she froze for a minute. The squirrel suddenly recovered and ran away.

I love my lab. But he wouldn't know what to do with a squirrel.

He has enough trouble with the cat...she's declawed and she can still take him...

She's under a strict promise not to reveal the contents of some her dreams.

My lab lived to 14 before she passed on. But she was really a ferocious dog, people were scared of her. She still had that lab sweetness, though, where appropriate.

Our lab is a big baby. But he's great with the two-year-old. We don't leave them alone because we know animals can turn. But he's very tolerant.

Hehehe...like the pic. During nut season I like to harrass them with the BB gun. They give a satisfying yelp, leap in the air, drop the nut, and scold you while flicking their tails! It's really fun if you can knock them out of the tree...they hit the ground with a nice thud.
