Sassy and wildlife

Since coming to Kansas Sassy has discovered nature and wildlife. There is a squirrel that loves to steal the pears from the tree. There is also the bunny that loves to steal the green beans. And there is the pet hamster, Lily.


Jerky the Squirrel: The squirrel is a mean bugger. He steals a pear and chills on the roof. He eats about half of the pear then runs across the roof and as he is leaping to another tree he drops his pear into the pool. Sassy's job is to get rid of the squirrel. She takes her job VERY seriously. She will chase him across the yard and then tries to climb the pear tree. However, Jerky the Squirrel always gets away. And to add insult to injury Jerky grabs a pear and chucks it at Sassy. He sits and waits til she is going to the bathroom to chuck the pears, knowing she can't do anything about it.

Slick the Bunny: This bunny isn't mean like Jerky. He is pretty chill, outside of stealing the green beans. He just kinda sits in the middle of the yard, soaking up rays. Sassy really wants to play with Slick, but he is just not interested. Every time she runs outside to him, he scampers off to the bushes, weaves in and out of the branches, and slips through a hole in the fence. Sassy tries to fit through the hole, but fails. Jerky gets a kick out of this every time and when Sassy starts sulking she gets nailed by another pear...

Lily the Hamster: Lily is the family hamster that Julie inherited from her mom. Lily really only comes out at night. As soon as Sassy hears her she is hovering over the cage. Sassy will wag her tail and look at us, always hoping Lily can come out. When she determines that Lily just isn't coming out she lays down in front of the cage and watches Lily run on her wheel. One day we'll put Lily in her ball and see what happens. Should be a fun time!
