    I woulda thought he’d drink this…

    Such a shame to see yet another squirrel fall into the abyss of alcohol abuse. We can only hope he seeks treatment before he completely spirals out of control.

      Yeah. Nothing worse than a squirrel gone nuts.

    Just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays. Family gatherings are so memorable.

      But not always for the right reasons, thanks to relatives like Uncle Bushy…

        On the bright side, it only took three beers to quiet Uncle Bushy; in my family it would take considerably more with something much stronger to silence anyone.

          Ever tried duct tape? Sledgehammer? Chloroform? 😁

      My family parties are so boring…we eat dinner, drink a little but not to excess, don’t fight about politics or religion (even the atheists at Christmas!)…we actually like each other…what are we doing wrong?

    Did this scenario start with the phrase “Hey, hold my beer a minute”???

    We’ve been watching a very determined squirrel trying to get to our big feeder full of sunflower seeds. The feeder hangs under the eaves, and no squirrels have reached it yet!
    Sorry the game cams aren’t hooked up yet.
    Yes! It’s my birthday, and Husband gave me two game cams!!! I don’t know how they work, yet. This should be interesting.

    I’ve read about people in Australia who have fruit-bearing trees in their yard looking out the window to find an accumulation of passed-out magpies, courtesy the natural fermentation process. Some people put together a birdie drunk tank so the birds can sober up without getting grabbed by a cat.

    • debg November 22, 2019 / 3:02 pm

      That is beautiful on so many levels.

    Happy Birthday, Carlotta! And kudos to the magpie protection scheme!

    • Carlotta November 22, 2019 / 5:57 pm

      Thanks, everyone!!! I hope I can contribute something from the cams!
