So, there's this squirrel that lives in my backyard. I feed her peanuts, and she comes right up to me. Adorable as all hell. I call her Stumpellina (Stumpy for short,) and I call her that because she's only got half a tail.
Now, I'm fairly certain that the reason behind her minor amputation lies with the hawk that hunts in our neighborhood. He's a big b*****d, and often hangs out in the trees behind my house, Stumpy's stomping grounds. Yesterday, I caught him trying to make a meal of her. I chased him up into a tree, but couldn't make him leave. Poor Stumpy's just running in circles, and he's eyeballing her like she's the last rodent on earth.
My first insinct was to shoot it, but I only have a Glock 9, and I doubt that would go over too well. So I shot it with my hair tie. Haha! I hit it, too, but it just bounced right off of him. I did manage to annoy him into leaving, though.
I'm lucky it didn't try to shred my face off.
