Squirrels Can Definitely Not Type, but We Can Do Even Better Things!

And being angry furballs is not one of them!

A few days ago, I exercised my right to reply after an article came out from the pen of no other than Marcus Musick!

In his article, he painted me as a lunatic when all I was trying to do was defend my tree and nut stash.

After I carefully related my account of events — because I couldn’t have everybody thinking I was nutty… I mean, just because I like nuts, it doesn’t mean I’m nuts… he dared write yet another article dragging my name through the mud.

So now, I’ve decided to set the record straight — Again!

Especially now that there’s an ongoing court case opened by Sophia Tell- Stories 🤓📢🤓.

Now, in all honesty, Marcus did make a very good point when he said we should never resort to violence, but I was so scared that my fight-or-flight reflex got stuck in fight mode. So, for that, I am sorry.

But on to what we’re here for.

As I told Marcus—or rather, as Isabel told Marcus—my paws are so very small that she did me a solid then and now.
