Visiting Mason and shooting a squirrel out of a tree

I was inside the house minding my own business assisting my step-mom cleaning out the laundry room. I was really going at it...I threw away a bunch of crap. When all of the sudden, I heard a gun shot. (We are in the country, so not so unusual) But then I heard another. I went to the sliding glass door to see what was going on.

I saw a young man with a 9mm pistol shooting up into a tree. My step dad reached into his pick up and pulled out his 22 pistol and began shooting up into the tree. A man that I do not know reaches into his truck and pulls out a deer rifle with a scope and begins to carefully aim it. By this point, there have been at least 14 rounds expended. He carefully aims, and fires. He got the fiendish animal up in the tree!! A squirrel.

I did not ask why they were shooting a squirrel. No sense in that. But the events that followed were just as humorous.

I have just purchased an all digital video camera. My youngest son has mastered its use.

The dog, shorty, immediately confiscated the squirrel. It was his. That is when the video documentation began.

In 1 or 2 hour intervals, my son would report to us the status of the squirrel. "Mom, the squirrel has no head!! A couple of hours later: "He has no front legs." This went out throughout the day, until the squirrel was just a tail.

I have been told not to worry...he did not kill the squirrel or dismember it...He was just documenting the progession of events.
