Squirrelly Aint it...?

Many moons ago when I was a little  boy...about that high...(knee)We got a doggy from the Coxville Zoo... yepp  neat little Zoo just north of Austin Texas on what is now or was North Lamar....She was a mongral mutt black with a white collar and paws...  We named her Sally.. well grandpa did anyway.. we already had a couple doggy... Nacy and a chiwawawaa.. (ya know taco bell dog)  he had a spanish name meant charlie..  Well Sally she was like out of her wittle mind over the squirrels in da back yard...Grandpa he don't like Mr.. Squirrelly... but Sally do.... she lay in the back yard... and Mr..Squirrely come down outta that pecan tree and run rat over her layin there in da sun... and she be up and at em like white on rice...Yeppers  they play like dis all day.. them otter two dogs just sit and watch...On saturday... I hear this barkin and carryin on comin outta the pecan tree next to my bedroom window.. I was  like hidin back there so maybe grandma wouldn't find some kinda work for me to do...(she said idle hands are the devils workshop...) gee give me a break.. but any who  there I was listen to all  dis racket comin outta  that tree... I thought Sally was barkin at the natives or someting.. but after a  while she didn't shut up  so I took a gander out my window.. I couldn't believe me eyes.. Sally was in that tree.. yeppers  she bee chasin Mr. Squirrely so hard and fast she jumped up on the bent over trunk of that tree and ran rite up into the limbs...Bet Mr. Squirrely was suprised.. seein how he was up in the top that tree watch Sally to see how she was gonna get down..........Well I snuck out the kitchen.. avoidin grandma... and that Mr. Squirrely saw me comein so he jumps on the roof of the house and makes for another pecan tree in the front yard....Sally she on that limb barkin her ass off.. till she see's me comin... she so happy  waggin her tell... eyes sparklin like gosh I love ya ...(get me outta this tree  will ya....)Well  I reached  up and she jumped right into my arms... lickin my face wiggilin like she aint seen me in years...(stop that Sally I aint lickable... gee)side I see what ya put in ya mouth  jeesh.........Well Mr. Squirrrely turns out to be  Mrs Squirrely... she builds a nest in the pecan tree at the back of the yard next to grandpa BBQ   pit.... and well now she had a baby squirrely in that nest... Some how that baby squirrely fell outta that nest..  grandpa... he don't like no squirrel  baby ... or not he gonna go get rid of it.. yepp he's a  mean old man  to them squirrel...I don't  know how Sally figured this out... but she knew.........hears the educational part of the story...........Sally she got between baby squirrely... and grandpa... hair on her back standin up...  teethies bared..... snappin and growlin at my grandpa... this kinda  ticked him off plum....He come in the house to get his shot gun...While Mrs. Squirrely came down and gathered up baby squirrely and took him back to that nest...How squirrely is that... grandpa was gonna shoot Sally for gettin between him and that squirrel......Now  I gotta get between Sally and grandpa  cause he way to serious about  killin my doggy...I told him bet if ya was that baby squirrel ya be way happy Sally did what she did....Told him ya can beat the whey outta me if it makes ya feel better... but ya aint shootin my doggy or that squirrel...not today... Dang  good thing my grandpa could  think things through...gee grandma would shot the dog and the squirrels and beat the whey outta me for just lookin at her  wrong...Grandpa never shot no  more squirrel round the house after that... but boy did he give the woodpecker hell............Sally and Mrs. Squirrely lived to be old and happy..  baby grew up and ran off with some other squirrel... them wood peckers  they weren't so  lucky.... ...  Sometimes ya can learn lessons  even from a dog... Ya gotta stand up for ya Friends sometimes.. even if they different from everyone else... Yepp...
