Squirrels will run away from a loud hissing sound (like that of a cat). Use that the next time a furry friend wants to say hello.. you'll both be safer.

Being chased by several dogs, I realize that it's mostly a game...i.e they're bluffing and probably know they couldn't take a person down and defeat them. However, if one was to attack me, I'd be ready to kick the living s*** outta of them...fight or flight, basically, where flight, even though my favorite choice, is not always an option. Hopefully, it's not a coordinated attack..then things would get complicated. Dogs are domesticated wolves, and some have the instinct of ganging up on their…

Hopefully, it's not a coordinated attack..then things would get complicated. Dogs are domesticated wolves, and some have the instinct of ganging up on their prey. Seldom does that occur in the States , in Mexico, different story. I'd carry some sort stick or other weapon to deter them.<br/> ICKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>I love prowling the alleys dumpster-diving for bike parts and other good stuff!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for critters, sooner or later they get under the tires. Over-reacting is much worse as they can cuase someone to crash or get hit by a car. Riding over them is usually nothing more than a small bump. Don't cry -nature will make more. And tree rats aren't any different than the ground rats IMHO. Simple vermin -Good riddance. </p>

The heuristic from motorcycling is "Never attempt to dodge an animal you could eat in one sitting". In addition to complicating the animal's decision of where to go, you are far more likely to go down if you do hit it while you are braking or turning . If already using some of your available friction (turning / accelerating / braking), attempt to reduce this if youre able to safely.

That sounds like a good recipe for squirrel. The one thing it doesn't say is how to clean the squirrel. The Joy of Cooking in the sixties had instructions (don't think they still do) on how to clean squirrels. This is what it looked like:<br />
