Ruca Bean Yates-Mora has an ongoing battle with a squirrel that’s lasted for 2+ years.  It sits in the low lying branches of a tree in our canyon backyard and chirps at her, taunting her while she waits patiently for it to make ONE FALSE MOVE.  She’s a relentless hunter though and one day that squirrel WILL be hers (and don’t tell PETA but we’ve definitely discussed helping out Bean’s cause with a little rock throwing).  That squirrel is her nemesis.  And all of this makes Bean’s Halloween costume THAT MUCH AWESOMER.
