Re: Fritz caught a squirrel

[Justine&Rafe]

Good on him!!  Would certainly be kinder to the (rat in a tree) squirrel if you can get a hefty rock on its head if you know he’s pretty much done for it.  I know it sounds dreadful, but is better than leaving it to de a slow and painful death (sorry – that sounds really harsh!).  As hard as it is to do – is better for your karma!!

Also – word of warning – they can fight back and have a really really nasty bite.  Whatever you do, don’t try to pick one up after he’s got at one, and do do do check him over for little puncture marks – our old flattie caught one up on the moors and ended up having to go to the vets with a pretty badly swollen lip after being bitten.

If he does get bitten, probs better take him to the vets as bites very frequently get infected.

All that aside – go get ’em Fritz!!
