Im around Mesa Drive and Horne area (North Mesa) Ive never seen one around here before either. Was totally shocked when I saw it.

Thanks for the offer, but I dont need to barrow one

I would probably get in trouble for shooting at it anyway, being right in the middle of a neighborhood. I think I will try and borrow a live trap if possible and get rid of it that way. I dont need it moving into my attic or anything like that.


First it was bees and now a squirrel. What next? I so need my old dog back, my current one apparentlyy isnt scary enough for all the critters.

You only need a pellet gun, perfectly legal and lethal.

Laree, you have a nasty co-worker. UGH. To blame a BABY? How much dumber can you get? Did he steal your wallet too? Forget about him and thank your little one for throwing that hot dog on a D-Bag. He is learning well.

Tofu, aren't you lucky? Did you buy all of her incubators? C:<

Gckiddhouse, The little polish cross has a crest right? It will be so interesting to see how that pans out. Have you done this breeding before or is this a first?

Sock, in my old neighborhood (foothills) we used to use paintball guns on them. We'd see them a few days later darting across lawns dressed like clowns.

Cheerful, how can you not LAWL? I found a LiveJournal community that spits out Dr.Who and other SciFi icons and now I have a whole folder of them.

Great image - sqirrels painted like clowns!! Great idea!!

That Polish cross is Mahonri's doing. It has a little crest. We will see what it looks like as it grows. We are super excited!! When I can get a pic I will post it. I know Mahonri will want to see it.

Sock~ At least it's cuter than a roof rat

I have a live trap if you need to borrow one.

Laree~ One word. Karma. It will come around for him

gckiddhouse~ Cute pics!

RRR~ Can you come over with your paintgun?

Man, that would be funny...

I had my first little pheasant chick hatch this morning...cute little fluff ball

Clown squirrels, now that will be a site. Probably work on sparrows too

How bout an airsoft, my son wants one bad. Maybe I will get him one for his birthday and he can practice for me.


Well, on another note.... Im going to go back to school. Im totally nervous and well, its been over 20 years since I was last in school. Im still trying to decide what to do though. I have a few options and all seem good.

I just dont know what I really want to do. If art could make me a steady income I would do that.

Oh, congrats on your new little fluff ball. Would love to see a picture.

I am thinking with your skill, you could easily make a nice little side-income on your statues. Maybe do custom art/statue characatures (my spelling is POOR today) of people's birds/pets/etc. You could crank out a bunch of "base" models and paint them to spec. I was thinking about it earlier (showed the one to Nifty, who was very impressed) and thought you could do random animals. IE- a sugar glider. Granted, a Grumpy SugarGlider would probably be all eyes.

ANYWAY- if the Grumpy Hens were "custom" you could charge at least 50% more.

I am imaging every BYC neighborhood with clown squirrels now. XD

Sock, it really depends on what you want to do and also what school you are going to. (and if you really want to follow something arty) When Tim Burton shot "Alice in Wonderland" he opted that the best sketches and character development sheets be sculpted so he could see what looked best. Working on something like that...would be amazing. However I think one of the biggest factors would be the schools connections to find jobs for artists. The Art Institute runs direct jobs connected to Disney, Pixar and many other large in demand companies. The best students are actually hired while still learning on a freelance basis.

Now a days they offer some great classes online, I took a few and I was surprised but how much I could learn. BEST OF LUCK!

Actually, I worked as a Vet Asst./Receptionist for about 5 years. Although it was about 15 years ago. I thought of that but realized that I dont want to work for someone.

My Dad and I are actually trying to go into business together making custom furniture and art stuff. So hopefully that goes.

One of my options I was thinking of going to school for is Web Design.
