The Black Squirrel began terrorizing Antioch Drive in 2004. The nuisance first made his presence known by boldly standing between residents and their cars as they tried to leave their front doors. While at first mistaken for a timid and arguably cute common Grey squirrel, the Black Squirrel quickly let the residents know that he was a maverick. Hissing while chasing individuals to and from their cars and homes demonstrated his bravery. Peeing on bike seats and gnawing at bike tires revealed his lack of respect. The Black Squirrel is even acclaimed to have jumped on George’s back while he trimmed his poppy’s. This feat, if true, proved his unruly conduct as well as his sense of humor. The Black Squirrel hid in roof gutters, shrubbery, and behind the foot of the gnome on your front step. His forte was surprise and he was a master of escape.
Spotting the Black Squirrel was just as fascinating as it was startling. An encounter gave reason to boast to the neighbors: “the Black Squirrel clung to my screen door today and hissed at us for 45 minutes!” Now that the Black Squirrel has passed we all feel frustrated by the mystery he left behind. Where did he come from? Was he really a mix between a common Grey squirrel and a rat? He abandons us with just fables that commemorate his reign.
