dangerous and endangered species

i survived the trip to hillbilly county. we went down to shenandoah river, luray caverns and much more and indeed we saw one guy who was without any doubt one of the afore mentioned dangerous species. and that was indeed kind of scary. scary enough that we didn't dare a picture of that guy.
anyway, apparently they are going to cut down a tree in our backyard. it is that tree, where two days ago a squirrel that was freaking out when it saw me, fell down from probably about 4 meters. even though it looked and sounded neckbreaking, the idiot survived, jumped on another bush and fell down again. i am still wondering if that beast was rabid. squirrels are a real plague here. back home they are almost dying out, but here i see at least ten of them every single day. anyway, i always felt like those bastards' reputation is way too good. from my point of view they look like rats, just with a bushy tail. unfortunately i cannot participate in the big lumberjack event in our backyard, even though i would love to. not without proud i got to tell you that i would consider myself an elite lumberjack, since i chopped down a 20-meter fir a couple of years ago.

i am the american solictor of the squirrel whos reputation was hardly hit in this article.
my client was just peacefuly sitting in his treehouse, when she suddenly saw this austrian Orlando Bloom double sashing by.
her first thought was getting an autograph. and so o´course she was a bit weird, and in her haste, fell down the tree. instead of providing first aid the still undefined guy walked by laughing. look what has happened to my poor client:
