I have to share something with you all that happened to me this
Evening.....guy to guy.....from Western Michigan.

So I arrive home this evening; Lorraine and the kids are not yet home from
Swim practice. I park in the garage, get out of the car, walk around the
Back of the car and notice that a squirrel is hanging upside down from the
Bird feeder. This is not unusual, and like many other folks it drives me
Crazy to see them hoarding the bird's food, so I give the squirrel my usual
"Hi-yah! Git outta there!".

To my surprise, the squirrel shows no reaction to my warning. So now I'm a
Little annoyed that he should be so bold as to just ignore me, and I let
Out what I would describe as my best rabid cougar imitation (I don't know
How to spell it but, if you ask, I'll let you hear it sometime). Again, the
Squirrel shows no reaction - so I approach the courageous varmint with
Purpose (but also with some caution).

He hangs there as I approach; he doesn't even MOVE! Then I see that he is
Clearly stuck or caught, and could not run away even if he wanted to.

Though the exact cause of death has not been formally determined, I am
Quite sure that death came as a relief to this poor guy.

There is something about being male that I think bonds us all together.
That is, as males, regardless of species, I think when you see the attached
(or below) picture(s) you'll have the same reaction I did.....
