Caught GREY handed...

So we actually SAW the culprit stealing our strawberries... an evil, puffy tailed grey squirrel...


Saturday morning we opened the blinds in our bedroom and saw the little scoundrel kicking around the dirt in our garden... suspiciously close to our strawberries. We turn our heads for like 5 seconds and when we look back we see him on top of the fence with a little red gem in his hands... chomping away at OUR strawberry! I may have yelled profanities at the little devil... maybe.

Josh is on a mission.
Get Brad's pellet gun.
Stake out in our bedroom with removed screen and window open.
Shoot squirrel while doing the deed... (and not THAT deed... the whole stealing deed... come on!)

Now. Don't get all PETA on me - he STOLE our strawberries! Don't be deceived by his charming stuffed cheeks or his little hands that are so cute when he holds his little STOLEN stawberry up to his little tiny mouth... he's a criminal. And we live by the law here at casa Dunlop. We'll keep you posted.

can't you just put a fence up that he can't get into? Or, we'll send you Gabby :)

when a man takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. I know a man didn't take your coat...but maybe you can apply this sound biblical wisdom to your strawberry incident. The little guy was just hungry :) he knows a good garden when he sees one!
