Humor: Dealing with squirrels

Squirrels are such cute, wide-eyed little furry critters. What's not to like about them? They are fascinating as they leap from tree to tree, gracefully racing across utility wires and gleefully prance across lawns. As you watch them you might even think to yourself what a wondrous treat it is to be able to view these sociable creatures frolicking around.

Yeah right.

The fuzzy heartwarming scenario ends right there. Sure squirrels may be cute and they may be amusing, but in reality those creatures are nothing but audacious and condescending furry little critters. Their secret beneath their adorable guiese is that they are evil at heart. They cleverly cloak themselves in an aura of beauty under the pretense of being too cute to resist.

At first glance their persona illuminates one of delight, but in reality they are really mischievous little sprites who are conscientiously plotting to launch their attack. Don't let the cuteness fool you!

Have you ever really paid close attention to a squirrel's antics? Not just watch them, but truly observe just what it is they do. If not you should really try it sometime. Upon closer examination of their activities you'll probably notice a few things that escaped your eye before. If you really scrutinize them you'll see under that manifestation of beauty is a true streak of wickedness.

As their true motive shines through you'll see how they defiantly eat your tulips as they try to bloom. You also may as well forget the idea of getting the chance to experience the beautiful explosion of color you had been anticipating all winter because you won't even get a glimpse. Those buds will be eaten by the little stinkers before your flowers even show off a hint of color.

These furry little rodents with bushy tails will toil the days away digging in your flowerpots and stealing whatever botanical marvels you toiled away planting. You'll also never get the chance to see these blossoms either because those bulbs will never experience the warmth of the sun. Chances they'll be dug up before they can even reach the surface of the soil.

Not only do the little rodents attack your lovely flowers and lawns, their beady little eyes light up when they come across a vegetable garden. Imagine spending your weekend diligently planting your vegetables as you lovingly cover each seedling with anticipation of eating the fruits of your labors later on in the season.

Unfortunately come Monday afternoon you'll discover your vegetable garden has been ravaged by
