WE'VE BEEN ATTACKED BY SQUIRRELS!!! JK

Before any of you start worry. Darlene and Jordon are safe and sound. I’m doing ok too. But this isn’t something that happens every day, and I really wanted to do something fun on a Friday. Ok here it goes… Oh the horror, the agony, the torture! Thursday I got a phone call from Darlene saying that a band of evil squirrels were attacking the fence in the back claiming to get revenge for their fallen comrade that were killed in combat years ago. Fade out to flashback…. Not too long ago the Alleman family traveled in a Big Blue Battle Wagon! Ok, it was a Blue Chevy Van. The Alleman brothers and sisters plus Mom (aka Cindy Alleman), would go around the north Dallas area in a reasonable peaceful way. Those peaceful days ended when the squirrels when mad and start ruling the road! One day the Alleman family had, had enough! Mom and a few of the Alleman clan “accidently” ran over a squirrel or two to show the squirrels who owned Crawford Drive. The demonstration kept the squirrels away until Thursday April 24th, 2009.


They were back and ready to rumble!

Some were a little crazier then the usual squirrel and that is just scary.

They brought out some heavy fire power.

Some of it even illegal.

They even called out the squirrel mafia! I was at work, and so Darlene and Jordon had to defend the home from the evil squirrels. Jordon had just started eating a snack when it all happened, and you never interrupt Jordon’s eating or sleeping time. The squirrels broke through the backyard fence to surprise the family. Darlene got the old B.B. guns and started hitting squirrels right between the eyes. Jordon would throw toys at the ones that rushed up, and then started scaring many away with his deadly sharp teeth! In the end the Alleman Family won the battle and the squirrels scurried away in defeat. Here is the carnage after the battle, without the dead squirrels. That way to keep this blog G rated.

What really happened was the recycling truck driver didn’t wait long enough for the automated armed to raise up after taking our recycling and pushed the trash can into our fence. Thank goodness Dad and I put in that metal post last year. The brackets were bent, but the post held firm. I can’t imagine what would have happened if the whole back fence was torn up. It could have done some damage to our gas meter and caused more trouble than we needed. The company has agreed to have their insurance company pay for the repair, but they are taking a long time at doing it. Today is Wednesday April 29th and still no phone call from the reckless driver or insurance company. The fence had to be moved from off the grass, so please send us a tip or two about dealing with fence repair companies, insurance companies, and waste/ recycling companies.
