But seriously: our parents’ neighbor did trap squirrels and cooked them in a stew, or roasted the whole thing on a spit… He gave that meat to them too, and mother usually made a stew or cooked it in a soup. She also learned from his wife how to make a terrine (a meat loaf), and a tourtière (meat pie).
He showed us how he killed them, and skinned them, dried the fur and later made it into slippers and sold them at the flee market, etc. … He learned the trade from his father. He said that he wanted to teach his kids how to do it, but they were to squeamish …
You started it, Lime-folded Lady, blind beast [so many other B-words came to mind, but I chose to be circumspect in the usage], pizza-temptress! The squirrel merely reacted in accord with its avaricious, squirrelly instincts. No sympathy here for your whiny little apologia.

Taunt a squirrel, and it will blind you, scribble all over you, and steal your lunch.

Squrrils are tough, but try fighting a seagull for a piece of pizza — you lose more than your eyeballs.

It could have been worse. It could have been a rabid squirrel and gone for the spleen … 2 eyes, 1 spleen (maybe) …!

I wonder if this is the same squirrel that was involved with the “Mississippi Squirrel Revival,” at the First Self Righteous Church?

Eatin’ pizza in the hot sun
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
I needed thinkin’ but I had none
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
I lost my pizza and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Oh, it had the best crust I ever had
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won
