Peanut Caught a Squirel


This Cat is Amazing!!!!
He is the best 
"Mouser", and "Snake Catcher" around!



Now we can add 
"Squirrel Hunter" to the list as well.  


This particular squirrel had been chewing holes in the siding of a cabin and was living in the attic.  

There are lots of trees, and other ares to build a squirrel home, but for some reason this particular little guy decided the lodge was were 
he wanted to be.  

I was shocked to hear from the kids, that Peanut had killed a squirrel!




With  most boys they want to try new things.  

Eating squirrel had apparently been on our son's list!  So Smalls, took the opportunity to skin and grill the little delicacy. 

Lets just say I now have a 

"Mom, can I grill this?" pan,  
saved for any 

future culinary consumptions!

     
















Did you know?

It was a popular delicacy served up until the last century when it dropped off Britain’s menu.

But grey squirrel pie is currently enjoying a revival due to attempts to save its less aggressive red cousins from extinction.

Thousands of grey squirrels have been sold to restaurants, butchers and are on sale at farmer’s markets after being legally trapped and shot in woodland and rural areas.
