Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for November 30, 2015

When I was a kid we had a pet squirrel. She lived outside, but would come down and sit on our shoulders to be fed. One Christmas, I walked into the house with her perched on my shoulder. BIG mistake. She took one look at the 8’ Christmas tree and launched from my shoulder to the top of the tree….which immediately toppled over. As it began to fall she jumpet to the top of the drapes, bringing them down, rod and all. At this point my dog spotted her and took off after her through the house, with me in pursuit. Needless to say, she was banned from the house from then on.
