I left Sister in charge of the house this weekend while I spent a couple of relaxing days out east with Ma and Pa. I told her to periodically check the perimeters. I told her to keep the squirrels, bunnies, and other assorted interlopers at bay while I was out. It was a simple request. She should have had no trouble following through.
That said, I came home to this:
Stumpy, that stupid little half-squirrel half-rabbit freak, had struck again and this time he left a pizza crust on my window sill.
Now, I know what you, my loyal readers are thinking. You’re thinking, “Hey, that was a really nervy thing for Stumpy to do, but maybe that means that the pizza tree* is flowering again. Maybe he’s doing you a favor.” Well, I checked and there are no other pizza crusts on the pizza tree so either Stumpy took the only slice or the remains on my window sill are his take-out leftovers.
Any way you slice it, it just goes to show that good security help is hard to find.
