DAYS OF OUR BACKYARD SQUIRRELS

FOR TAPS, WHO WONDERS ABOUT ANIMAL OBSCENITIES
In general, squirrels' hostile utterances recount the illegitimacy and unworthiness of their object of scorn. They challenge his/her right to draw breath in the world of downright upright denizens. Given enough time, they use profane and graphic terms to describe the steamy stinking swamp from which... Sign in to see full entry.

DAYS OF OUR BACKYARD SQUIRRELS
As happens in our favorite soap opera from time to time, an interesting character comes back from the dead - so to speak - in the backyard as well. Trubbles, as you saw in yesterday's episode, managed a most unlikely save at the last minute to return to the cast of players. But he is not exactly... Sign in to see full entry.

Itchy stayed mostly in the back yard and close to his nest in the walnut tree; White Ears had a place in the maple across the sidewalk from Mellie’s. They... Sign in to see full entry.

BACKYARD SQUIRRELS: THE PROBLEM IS...
I started "Days" on FB - an excuse to lighten the mood, escape politics as usual and the grim reaper numbers on the pandemic. We're all in the mood for a melody, as the song goes.

DAYS OF OUR BACKYARD SQUIRRELS
It was the season when many yards along the block had obstacles blocking the Brick Street troop's usual ground-based pathways. The two-leggeds who nested there had put up what they called campaign signs. Mellie was roused from her nest one night in the dark of the moon when she heard one of the... Sign in to see full entry.
