Don't ask me to baby sit

On my way home from the store today, driving up Patterson, I saw a strange site, a Magpie chasing a squirrel across the road. The Magpie was ascending from the squirrels back, while I was just trying to grasp what exactly I was seeing, I forgot I was driving and I ran over the squirrel. I don't think I have ever killed any animal (maybe a fish or two) until this week.

    Sounds like you cost the magpie a meal, unless he likes squirrel burgers...hehe...as for running over the poor squirrel...he was being chased by a big bird then boom ran over by a mini van...now that is a bad day...hehe...

    You aree not having a good week concerning animals. Magpies love to tease small hairy animals. Likely they were just playing with each other until you cut the game short. We have a daily ritual between Mama Cat and the Magpies. They tease and chase her and then she turns and teases and chases them, it is one of those love / hate relationships. Ole One Eye, has nothing to do with them except chase them even if they are in flight sixty feet above the ground.

    I remember a moose that caused a lot more damage than a lil' ol' squirrel back in '92. That was a long night for a couple of stitches and EMT & Trooper that took their sweet time and didn't care much. I remember the Trooper's report saying, "wearing seat belts". I also remember the dog pounding into the back of my seat and picking glass pieces out of ourselves for months.

    A friend rolled her truck swerving from hitting an animal. The animal was a squirrel!

    Good title. ;)
