sister in law arrived yesterday and she is a lovely person who is very into health, animal rights, protection of the environment etc. We do not know each other well so when I got home from work I suggested we sit on the patio and catch up. Ace (husband's 86 lb. best friend Boxer) walked out and stood at the door to be let out. I let him out and in less than two minutes he chased a squirrel. He always chases them and it is amazing how quickly they avoid contact.
NOT! Darned if Ace didn't catch his first squirrel...not five feet away from the patio door. He shook the thing from side to side. sister in law turned completely pale and said
"look he's hurting the poor squirrel". After turning red I calmly said
"oh no I think he's just playing with him". LOL How lame is that??????
Thank the Lord I slowly walked to the door and called out to Ace. "No, Ace. Put
the little squirrel down. Come inside now." My voice broke his intensity and he relaxed his jaw, the squirrel went straight up a tree, and Ace came in the door."
sister in law said "don't you think that hurt the squirrel?" Calmly (on the outside, lol) I reassured her that the squirrel had scampered up the tree. YUK!
It was Cutty time ASAP. Yikes! What a way to start a visit. DDD
