Me: That’s not a squirrel. It’s a lemur. Let me call the neighbor it belongs to and tell them it’s wandered over here.
Stella: How dare that what cha call it come into our home space!
Me: Lemur. And it’s no big deal. It’s trained. It just encroached a little too far this time.
Stella: Encroachers, beware! This is bulldog territory. No one else need apply. It’s bad enough we have coyotes and squirrels and possums and rats and raccoons and owls and hawks and…what else do we have?
Me: Lizards and snakes and lots of birds.
Stella: Ew! We need to put up a Keep Out sign!
