Gotcha Date: August 8th 2005 Birthday: February 19th 2005 Likes: Car rides!!! Walks!!! SNACKS!!! Belly rubs. Sleeping until 1:00 pm. My sister (should probably be closer to the beginning of the list - but we'll see where I end up on her list!!). Big Dogs (I'm going to be one someday). Pet-Peeves: No blowing in the ears!! Evil Arch Nemesis the Squirrels!! Getting out of bed to go outside - my human lives in Seattle - it rains here ALOT. Baths. Not having whatever it is that my sister has - unless it's that stupid Teddy Bear toy. Favorite Toy: Elephant. Bones. Snacks to tease sister with since I savor mine (civil) while SHE scarfs hers (barbarian). The kitties - but don't tell anyone. Favorite Food: Wet cat food - gotta be cute to get that. Greenies!! Snausages. Some human stuff - but not much - they eat weird stuff!! Favorite Walk: Anywhere - the more dogs the better!! Please can we take the our cat Lucy??? Lift my leg - HIGH as I can!! Magnuson Park w/ our dog walker Lou Ann. Best Tricks: Sitting up until you notice he is "cute" and then tell him. Heat leeching the lap heat. "Scoot"ing closer to the free hand. High 5. Hugs. UP. Sleeping. Stick 'Em Up (I sit up). Arrival Story: I was the cute one at the puppy agents. I came out immediately and worked my cute charm and was picked up at once. I bonded w/ the male human entity and the day was over. However the female human entity had bonded w/ one of my sisters and a talk ensued. A "hold" was put on me (I like to think) and the humans left. Soon they came back and I was off on my next venture. It was sad to leave the rest of the family - but the humans brought along my sister Misty!!!! HAPPY DOG DAYS!!! I hope everypup out there is aware of how pawsome it is to be cute! Work that charm and you get all kinds of special treatment. Bio: I was much smaller than my sister to begin with. The female human entity kept calling me someting like "runt"??? I have since outgrown my sister by a whole inch and a whopping 4 oz. Take that female human!! Forums Motto: I'm the cute one!! Rrrrrr. The Groups I'm In: !!!! SQUIRRELS! (And other small animals we all love to chase), ♥♥FORGET ME NOT♥♥, ♥Dogs Rule And Cats Drool♥, *¨¨*DOGGIE CONNECTION*¨¨*, FANCYPANTS CAFE, Beautiful Butterflys, Dogster and Dogphoria lovers!, Dyson Dogster/Catster, Little Monsters!, Off Leash Seattle, Papillon Pals, Pawsome Pages, Perky Papillons and Phalenes, Pretty Butterfly Dogs, Trupanion Pet Insurance Clubhouse, ~*~Princess Divas ~&~ Prince Charmings!~*~, ~~~*♥Dog Park USA♥*~~~ The Last Forum I Posted In: Zealie raffle! These are a few of my favorite things:: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE car rides!! Sometimes Mom tells me to hide from the "Authority" but otherwise I'm in the drivers seat! Walking at night is fun when we get to take Lucy the Kitty with us - she's our other best friend. Hate getting up in the morning - Mom has to drag me out from under the covers and take me outside in bad weather. She get's a Rrrr for that. She thinks it's funny - I'm serious!! No wet paws unless there is WALKING involved. Love keeping all the snacks to myself to tease my sister - she snarfs them down instead of savoring them. Love belly rubs and will Vulcan mind meld you by staring lovingly at you until you comply. Love going to see the humans Lou Ann, Patrick, George and the Big Dog - Booger. I'm going to be a big dog someday - I just know it. In the winter I have to sleep under the covers (hey good enough for the un-furbearing - good enough for me). I turn on full scale "cute charm" by either sitting up forEVER or by just being "Scooter". PS - I was supposed to be "Pepe" and my sister Misty was supposed to be "Fifi" but the human female refused to yell that across any public venue. Instead Scooter I am - cuz if there is a free hand - I'm "Scootin" to it.

Mom heard about this a couple weeks ago when the local radio station interviewed the lady and then some of them actually tasted it too.
I am going to do some pawsearch on the inteweb to find out how I can sign Mom up for classes from this lady. Because if she could just trap them for me, heaven has allowed me a glimpse and I like it!
This lady traps EVIL NEMESIS SQUIRRELS and then eats them for dinner. She does other stuff like raises goats and chickens and stuff, but it's all about the EVIL NEMESIS SQUIRRELS in this story.
Here's but just a taste of the story I will give you a link to. I think smoked until it is Squirrel Jerky would be the best way.
"Squirrel can be tough and somewhat greasy and gamey so it's best to braise, boil or stew it. Soaking it in a simple salt brine will also help tenderize the meat. But otherwise, it's not difficult to prepare.
Food safety dictates that it's best to cook to 165 degrees to kill a possible bacterial contamination. And steer clear of the brains -- scientists believe they could carry Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, the human form of mad cow disease.
Cooking suggestions:
Brunswick stew
Mulligan stew
Braise meat and remove from bones for 'squirrel-ritos' -- burrito filling"

Oh, and if you have time, check out the comments for the Seattle version if you can. As the Cheshire Cat would say, "We're all a little crazy around here". BOL.
Sweet dreams all you pups after you read those stories ~Scooter~
Do you ever find your Mom eating that wonderful thing called "dinner" and think to yourself, I need some of that? I do.
I've almost perfected my method and have been through lots of testing.
I tried hitting Mom's leg to remind her I was down here, but she just banished me from the kitchen.
I tried the pathetic whine, but apparently that is annoying and you get told to "cool it".
I tried barking because maybe my point wasn't being taken seriously, but that just gets you told to "knock it off".
I have almost perfected this and will have to test it out a few more times before I can call success. I now just jump up on my Scooter chair (it turns all the way around so I can demand Mom swivel it so I can see her in the TV room or the kitchen/dining room). Then I just stare at her. Stare and stare and stare and stare and stare. Keep it up, keep staring. Eventually Mom tells me she's feeling guilty and then you get a morsel of tasty food from the magic round plate they hoard to themselves so often.
I'll keep you posted if it turns out to be a success after more testing. Do any of you other pups have better ways of scoring morsels?
