Stop Horsing Around

We interrupt our adventure updates with this public announcement to our wildlife neighbors. We are back on neighborhood patrol! Consider yourself warned!

Sergeant Skunk, you can stand down now. We thank you for filling in on patrol by keeping an eye on our house and garden. We even appreciate the extra work you did aerating the backyard while searching for mischievous grubs in the ground. However, Asa and I will return to covering first and second shifts, and you can go back to being responsible for the overnight third shift, like you’ve been working all summer. It’s not that we don’t like seeing you when we go out for last patrol before bed, but Mom is concerned you could raise a stink if we overstep our bounds and question your patrol techniques.

As for the Coyotes, shenanigans are over! Did you think we weren’t going to find that “present” you left on our front lawn? I don’t know what you’ve been eating, but you really should stop! And don’t you dare think that the pick up your poop rule doesn’t apply to you! Would it hurt to carry a few bags with you to clean up your own messes?

Finally, I’m not sure what you were planning to get away with Squirrels, but I’ve read enough Greek mythology to recognize when I see a Trojan Horse whizzing through my neighborhood! No real horse moves like that! You know that Asa can’t resist making friends with stuffies, especially ones standing all alone on the side of the road. Well I’m not fooled! Stop horsing around!

Asa: Are you sure it is a trap? He looks like a nice new friend to me! Chuck Billy: Asa, step away slowly….
