WHAT? You destroyed my royal sporran? I'll have you know that I risked lves and limbs for that AcryliBeast sporran and you just BLOW it out of the sky? There will be no knighthood for you Knave!

And the ultimate tragedy of it all is that had Panache consulted with the current Lord Stillwater, J. Sciuropterus, all of this bloodshed could have been avoided, along with the death of what may have been the last surviving Giant Arctic Flying Squirrel, Glaucomys arctos giganteus. His Lordship's studies of flying squirrels are well-known, and he had recently started a captive breeding program of white Glaucomys sabrinus, increasing their size while selecting for pure white coloration. Had Panache waited but a year, two at most, he could have had a sporran made of the "Acryli-Beast's" closest kin, without resorting to deception, embezzlement, and ultimately, violence.
Oh, the humanity of it all.

Kinda makes me glad I'm a dog.

Don't dogs eat squirrels?

Eat? Possibly. Play with? Definitely. I'ld post a picture of my dog with one of his "squeak toys," but this is a family forum, after all.
Let's just say that if I ever decide to get a full-mask woodchuck sporran, I won't have to buy the pelt.
For an Acryli-beast, I would require the services of Furball the Rodent Killer, and his brother, George the Optimist. Furball was a good a cat as any for catching squirrels, and George tried hunting deer.
Come to think of it, it was Furball that taught the dog how to hunt ...
