Squirrels and Churches
There were four churches and a synagogue in our town. A Presbyterian church, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and the synagogue had a problem with squirrels.
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Methodist church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church . Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.
But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue, but it's rumored that they took one squirrel and circumcised him and they haven't seen a squirrel on their property since.

Turkey Pranksters
I wrapped this old telephone pole, which is planted
in our flower garden, with Christmas lights, and regularly placed sunflower seeds along it to photograph birds and squirrels. Everyday some of the bulbs need to be retightened, and I told my wife, Pam I thought the squirrels must be loosening the bulbs. But then my self-firing trap camera caught this very telling image. It was the turkeys all along!

Champ Lays Down the Law Here at Pike River Studio
When Muddy joined us as a pup, Champ our Pugihuahua, or as some prefer, Chug, made sure he knew his place, in no uncertain terms. But then Mud the Yellow Lab grew and grew. Guess who lays down the law around here these days?
