you are one ruthless author! LOL I love it! My Squirrels would love to join in, they like adding nuts to their collections! The little leather clad sadists, just gotta love em though, they just might make Madam Xue an honourary squirrel

Dry, yup. Warm hmmm -23 and god knows what it is with the wind chill off of lake ontario. LOL. its a lovely cdn winter morn, gotta love them, just keep the coffee pot and the tea kettle going.

Please tell me that Aluminum war ship is not a real thing???? who in their right mind would do that with a metal that is basically putty? but then again if they are stupid enough to build it, we will gladly sink it! the only thing it is actually good for is beer cans LOL , even then i miss the good old Stubbies??? i hope there are others old enough to know what a stubby is LOL

Leave it to Granger, no sooner than he steps foot on the mainland than he has his eye on a new tasty bit! cockblocked and all

small world!, yup,nice area, i miss the valley, great scenery, slow pace.

as always a great chapter, nice family time! Have a great break! The Rockies is great place to reflect on yourself, some of the best work of the Creator to show you what is possible out there, may you come back to us refreshed, renewed, and ready to take us all along on whatever voyage you decide to take! of course watch out for the Squirrels, lol.

hmm. wondering if Victor is au naturelle, found dads old skinning knives from the farm, i could arrange a clipping, lol, or better yet i can get the castration kit, hmmm pincher or banding, decisions decisions, both? well next chapter, next meeting, please guys no more peanuts, takes forever to get the Squirrels to go home, and watching a fat man in a wheelchair driving back and forth under the clothesline beating the hell out of the area rug to get all the little bits out, has become a neighbourhood event, i should sell tickets

thanks for the chapter and happy birthday. all these characters familiar, i am. lol channelling yoda, i grew up in ottawa valley across river from hawkesbury, cornwal is about an hour away, simcoe is main st in town i live in, i live on wellington, nelson is just around the corner. one of the reasons i like this story so much is its familiarity

OK, something is feeling off here, a couple or three phrases throughout this gem has me thinking Dahl and Ari are the same person yet different personalities, just a feeling ya know like when your sitting there minding your own business munchin on a peanut and your tail starts twitching for no reason you can see or smell.

Love it! kids, kids and more kids! Great way to raise kids too, it takes a village, lol, as my siblings said they had parents, grand parents, 20 sets of aunts and uncles between the two sides, as well as enough of my fathers cousins to sink a battleship, lol. i came along a decade later when things had calmed down and thinned out LOL. Hmm, think i still have Dads skinning knives and all the Butcher knives and saws some place, when Marc finds out who "They" are let me know, snicker, might even let the Squirrel army in on it, They love collecting nuts, so there would be no worries about "Them" reproducing.

"the tip of his tail would sway in small, quick movements. It was... kind of cute, really. I wondered if all Nixes did that. But I knew I could watch it all day without getting bored." blush... me too!

Oh my! OH my! my! my! yall just made me want to be standing amongst a group of these characters and scream out, "Squirrel!!!!!!!" just to see some tails wag hehehehe

does a Canadian Special Forces Officer count? (trying hard to look innocent here, something i have never been able to do with any luck)

ummm, hmm, depends what you mean by up close and personal, sigh, blush, snicker
