Well I took my computer apart to dust out the inside and found enough crumbs to fill a small bird feeder. Who could have been eating at my computer? No me, I say! And I am patting myself on the back because not only did I take the case off, I put it back on--not like some people around here who would leave it off for days (lol).

The sun is out, the sky is blue, and a squirrel is having a picnic on the neighbor's car. Someone set a cup of beer on it and a squirrel is sitting there with what looks like part of a hot dog. I haven't seen him sip the beer yet. If he starts to wabble, I'll let you know. Kathey

Kathey, I will forgive you for having blue skies and sunshine if you will listen to yet another adorable little Maggie story. Not a story really, but something DH taught her. When he has a Heineken, she recognizes the green bottle and starts to beg. He says: "Fetch your stein, Maggie" whereupon she fetches an old frisbee, brings it to him, and he gives her 2 or 3 tablespoons of the beer. Well, she's supposed to do all that; half the time she just keeps begging, but that does't make a good Maggie story. After lapping up the beer, which seems to tickle her nose, she climbs up behind DH's head on his chair and goes to sleep. Generally DH drinks Coors and Maggie doesn't show any interest. She only goes for the expensive stuff. So the other day, DH had some milk with sugar and real cream (he hardly ever drinks coffee, and we never have cream around...), and she started begging for that. So he gave her some and she loved that, too. I don't do those bad things because I don't want her begging all the time, but I have no control over his behavior...Please don't anyone turn us in to the ASPCA for giving her bad things. She has a darned good life here.

Anyway, if the squirrel really goes for the beer and hot dog, your neighbor may have a pet for life. It'll be banging on his door at all hours demanding snacks and wanting to watch baseball games. Once you start something with these critters, they won't let up on the demands. We are held hostage here to Maggie and Kit. Our own fault, I know. Seren

I won't turn you in for giving her Heineken. Now, Coors, that is definately cruelty to any man or beast(lol).

I don't know if the squirrel actually drank any beer but he has been jumping around the yards all day. Maybe he'd rather have a margaretta. Kathey
