No way, babe==that's a made for rabies shot moment.\n\nMy lovely, hunky, Texan husband calls squirrels "rats with pretty tailfeathers"\n\nI would have had a HEART ATTACK!! Thank God for the mail man: He can add to the motto "neither sleet, nor storm nor dark of night nor rabid squirrel shall stop me from me appointed rounds or protecting fair maiden"

Yes, and I never was traumatized.  My neighbors dog bit me when I was about 8 and My dad was a cop and I was wandering around the police dogs and he wasn't watching me and I tried to pat one. I got bit, My horse bit me acouple of times, My neighbors horse kick me in the leg, THAT HURT, My dogs,cats,and my rat. Every one need medicine sometime and no one likes it!  My Ball python got over excited one day as I was dropping a mouse in and she missed the mouse and got my thumb.   I have a nasty oversexed male dove that will peck me when I don't allow him to do disgusting depraved things to my bare foot.   Oh yeah the one thing I am leery of is large Birds, They can do some serious damage and they are unpredictable!  I guess I have a little fear about large parrots, or may be a healthy respect!

Nature sure has a sence of humor. I had a dog that was so gay. He was in love with my Redneck neighbor's dog. They were totally in love. My neighbor couldn't handle having a gay dog and built a pen so his dog couldn't jump my fence anymore. His dog wouldn't jump into anyone elses yard or out into the hood. He would come over and make sweet love to my dog. I had another male dog in my yard then as well and my other neighbor had two females. The females would jump my fence and get down with my other male dog. My gay dog and the Redneck's dog would have nothing to do with them. Thinking back on it, I had a backyard brothel.....

Ew.  You have a rat.  Not sure about rats.  Dogs go though.

Could be a coyote...they make all kinds of really creepy dog-like sounds, and I think they're not too rare in Nova Scotia...the second link is a page with a bunch of recordings of different coyote sounds.

I saw a kudu nearly gore a cheetah. It came within inches, but lucky for the cheetah it has lightning reflexes. Lucky for the kudu it got away due to the counterattack.

As of this moment, I'm thinking how on earth my dogs couldn't stop barking at anybody who's passing by? No matter how I love them, they could get into my nerves at time and once I shout at them to stop, they'll run to me and the way their faces looks at me as if I did something horrible! Now, it makes me feel guilty and of course, one ends up in my lap and since the other one is too big, he just likes his back be scratch....

Usually most cornered, frightened, angry animals will fight.  Not necessarily for the throat, but whatever they can latch onto.  So be cautious when dealing with small animals ie rats, mice, ferrets, rabbits.

We were out "camping" in a trailer... My cousin and I spent the whole day fixing it up and making it look nice for the next day when the family would arrive.. Late that night we were fixing something underneath the "sink" and we heard a rustling.. so we were looking around all the cabinets to see what it was.. I opened up the fridge and this HUGE flying squirrell came rushing out and it smacked into my cousin and got caught in the curtains...   it took us 4 hours to get the poor 'lil guy back outside... Then he kept trying to get back in, finally he got the idea and ran off to wherever.

When I was standing on a country road (waiting at an unmarked bus stop) in Italy and twelve men pulled their cars over (not all at once), thinking I was a prostitute.  They waved their wallets at me and tried to get me into their cars.  I was so upset that I was in tears, crying beside the road.  Suddenly I heard a sound, and I looked down to see two lizards running across the sidewalk.  Before I could do anything one of lizards crawled up onto my foot and started crawling up my leg.  I could feel it against the skin on my calf, so I lifted my leg and tried to shake it off, but the damn thing just wouldn't come off.  All I could think was, "Everyone thinks I'm a prostitute and I'm going to have to take off my pants to get this lizard out of them!"  So I was standing beside the road, totally crying, shaking one leg around in the air.  All the cars that were driving by were honking their horns and hollering at me... it was soooo embarassing!  \n\nAfterword:\n\nEventually the lizard got scared and crawled off my leg- it didn't get past my knee and I didn't have to take off my pants.  A few minutes later the bus came.  I swear I didn't look like a prostitute- I was wearing a sweater and dress pants!  And I had a suitcase!

OUCH!! I know horses that would love to kick you right now and watch out for animal rights groups suing you if you keep making such derogatory comments towards animals.

Any animal will bite if scared or angry.  They don't do it vindictively, they are just protecting themselves like they would in the wild.

why you want to kill any animal or bird for fun, it`s different if you have to kill for food, but a defenceless creature doing you no harm, i really hope that some day,  someone puts you  under fire and you get to experience the `THRILL` from being hit. you sick B*****d

I'm not into the whole taking-over-the-world thing, but you make an interesting point.  I'd probably choose squirrels (they're my favorite animals, that's why) or koalas.  Squirrels would be all quick and tricky and trying to confuse us all, and they'd probably try to run us all over with huge machine/car things, so they might not make the best world rulers; koalas, on the other hand, are pretty laid back and slow, although I know that the male koalas are known to get pretty violent and crazy during mating season, so that could potentially turn out bad as well...

Yes, the squirrels told me.

a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs\n\nI had a dog that caught an armadillo.  When it rolled up, she was so perplexed that she threw a fit.  You should have heard the noises she made.  It was the hardest I've ever laughed in my whole life.
