Does he bark?
Awwww, Nuts!
I thought this was going to be about Bill Kristol or David Frum.
"All this is a sign, says Debby, that Finegan is close to being ready to go back into the wild."
He'll do real well until he decides to play with his dog "cousin" down the street.

Awwww, how sweet! Thanks for sharing.
I suppose raising a squirrel to think it's a dog is preferable to raising a boy to think he's a girl.
I'm surprised she doesn't get busted by wildlife control people. A guy who brought a deer back to health was arrested back in 2000 or 2001 for caging a wild animal, or some other stupidity. No good deed goes unpunished.
HOKEY SMOKES!!!!ping
About a million years ago - my fiancee at the time had a "rescue" dog we named "Ugly" (I don't remember how we named it that).
At one point Ugly was in heat and looking for a mate. We thought we had contained her in the house and the yard, but one day when Lynette came home she found Ugly sitting on the front porch.
A few days later we were convinced she was pregnant. The pregnancy proceeded pretty normally, except that the birthing finally became much overdue. We took her to the vet and the vet said she had a "false" pregnancy. You'd never know it by looking at her.
That evening a neighbor's cat across the street gave birth to a litter of about six or seven kittens. A couple days later the mother cat was hit by a car as she ran across the street. She died from her injuries.
The next day the neighbor brought the box of kittens to Lynette and asked her to watch them while she went to work. Sometime that day, Ugly found the box of kittens, took them each to the floor of her favorite closet and began to nurse them. She adopted them as her own pups and her life saving milk surely helped them all adopt her as their mother "cat".
None of our friends that didn't see it would believe us when we told them, and I am sure that remains true today.
It's good thing this squirrel didn't land withing the range of my bitch retriever's tender mercies. BTW, if this woman is interested, I have some fine recipes for squirrel stew.
But if this little nut-muncher runs out in front of my car, I'm still not swerving.
My wife hates to hear that "Bump-bump" when the tree rats miss their timing.
I thought this was about John Kerry.
This story reminds me of one of the funniest things I've ever seen...
My friend took in a couple of 3-year-old dogs, a Golden Retriever and then a Yellow Lab, and decided to put in an Invisible Fence(tm) to allow them to run in the backyard.
During the training period, a squirrel ran by, and the retrievers bolted for it, only to hear the warning and get zapped. They came running back to the porch.
The next time, a rabbit ran by, and again, off like a shot they went...and again, warning sound and a zap and they came running back.
But these dogs ain't dumb...they've learned.
Now, sometimes if I sit on my friend's back porch, watching the dogs playing, and a rabbit or squirrel decides to visit, I get treated to the rather pathetic sight of these two hunky hounds hightailing it to the house--scared to death of those dangerous little animals that they've learned can zap them with electric shocks! :-)

Could someone explain to me what this thread has to do with Harriet Miers?
Love it!
