The Squirrel Story page 6 - Squirrel Mail

Time marches on. It's January 2009. The lights were all taken down. I'm thinking about the 2009 expansion plans. In 2008 I was totally victorious - 17 squirrels, two mice, and an unruly possum all contained, and not one single Christmas light was damaged. Woo-hoo!

Then a letter arrived. It was from squirrels. Apparently, the three stuffed squirrels in the front yard are named Gus, Gail, and Gabby. They are also poets, and sent me this, uh, letter.

It looks like when they saw us leave for Christmas vacation, they packed up and headed out to Texas. Why? To round up more squirrels to come back in 2009. The "squirrel brigade" is on the move and growing. Oh, boy. What next?
