Squirreling

I contend that since "fishing" is catching fish, you should not call it "squirrel fishing". A simple "squirreling" will suffice, thank you. And yes, it was hilarious.



Once the portly rodent grabbed hold of that peanut, you could steadily pull 'im on in. Then you give a quick little tug so the nut comes out of his mouth and he flips out, chattering and shaking in anger.

Side story: Our camera has been sent in for repair, so I bought another to "test out" in the mean time. I threw the whole box into our luggage and we set it up at the SWEET cabin near Solitude that Dyl's parents rented for the week. I forgot to bring our 8 gig card, and the camera came with something like a 125 mb card. That's enough to take 6 pictures! And it's a real shame, because their faces were priceless.

So not only do you torture your poor, poor children you have now started in on wildlife! Where will it end?

That looks like a good time, squirrelling that is. Maybe you could come "mousing" at my house and catch the little rodent.

Oh, funny! That looks like a lot of fun!

Should be in the Olympics. Quite possibly the funniest sport ever invented.

Can't say that I've ever been squirreling, but I give you high marks for creativity. I have been bee-eeing. That's where you catch bees in jars, roll them down the drive way until they're sedated, and then tie them to strings to fly around as pets.

Looks like the Jacobson family teasing gene will pass on down for a few more generations. Love you -Granny G

So, by this logic, "fishing for people" is the wrong title when we used to put cookies on plates and do the same thing. What would it be called "humaning?"

That pic is awesome. Contest worthy. The offspring will rise up and call you blessed for taking it some time in the distant future.
