A little more about my childhood and I’ll move to fish and water quality. I traded my BB pistol for a squirrel and I named him Chipper. I usually kept him in a cage on the back porch in a little room that I had claimed as my domain. It was just off the area of my mom’s washroom. One day I was in my little room and had Chipper out and playing with him. Mom was washing clothes and all was well with the world. Until! Chipper decided he would venture out of my room. As you know, squirrels have toenails and can climb very quickly. The floor in my area was wood, but the washroom was tile. Chipper was ok walking on the tile, however, when I went to get him he made a mad dash towards mom and the washing machine. If you have this pictured in your mind now you can see him trying to get a grip on that tile floor. It was not happening….but his next move sent my mom in a dancing gig I’ll never forget. Chipper had ran up her dress on her naked leg and believe me it was a site to see. It seemed like a long time and my mom must have thought a booger had got a hold of her. Well, it wasn’t long enough for me to get out of there. She soon came to her right mind and out the door Chipper and I went. I had to move him to the garage when I already had a zoo. The sad thing was Chipper got out one day and a dog from down the street killed him... Up next, my cat Blackie.
