Well, I'm convinced these little guys are definitely hunters!
I let Maxwell out one last time and the (wiley coyote) squirrel literally took him straight through a briar patch, like he really did it on purpose. Sure enough, Maxwell got totally stuck in the briars and froze until I rescued him. He's been MUCH more subdued today (but, unhurt).
I love reading your stories - but I do feel for the birds, possums, hamsters and bunnies!
