• I was indoors at home when all of a sudden I hear this "eek eek eek eek eek eek" sound coming from outside, but then it abruptly stopped. Then my wife goes "nononono, get away from that squirrel!" I look outside and sure enough, my two dogs are poking at this greyish lump of fur on the grass, which I assume is the squirrel. Clearly no movements from it, so I was guessing that it was already dead. I go outside and squirted the dog with water to get them away from the dead squirrel. Our white dog seems to understand that it's off limits, but the brown dog wasn't moving. I bend over with a trash bag to pick up the poor squirrel, when my brown dog suddenly picks it up with her mouth and walks away from me. She must think I'm trying to take her "toy" away from her. I squirted her away with water again, picked up the unfortunate squirrel and got rid of it, before the brown dog decides to attack the thrash bag that contained the squirrel this time. Oh yeah, in addition I also had to pick up the tail of the squirrel that was severed from it's body!!! Poor squirrel.

  On a totally unrelated note, I was on the radio Monday morning, calling in about "experiences from The KROQ Weenie Roast." The DJs totally caught me off guard, because right after the phone screener put me on hold, I had maybe no more than 10 seconds before they got to my call. I did not have time to formulate my thoughts so I had to stall a little bit with the standard "hi guys, how's it going?" before actually going in my subject. I think I came off not sounding too much like an idiot, so it's all good. That wasn't the first time I was on the radio with the Kevin & Bean show too, but it's always a nice cheap thrill for me whenever I get to do it.
