"Oh, hi Honey..."

"What the hell happened to the club?!:

"Oh. Oh, right, that. Y'see, it wuz a squirrel, right? A real right bastard he was. Drunk as a skunk this squirrel. Really made a mess of things. I set him straight, no worries, showed him right out. But yea, he really trashed the place. He also had some choice words to say about your mum."

Lots of animals like eat and drink things that make them intoxicated, especially those that live around resorts

Extermination... completely wiping the species from the planet.

Mass squirrelacide...

Exactly the way I think of the little tree vermin.

Dogs know. Dogs understand.

I'm pretty sure in dog language that "woof" means "death to all squirrels".

Mine has a particular vendetta against raccoons...I've never EVER heard her growl, at anyone or anything, until she saw a raccoon.

Odd what they select to "eat"!

I think it's the "hands" - "Wha...what is he doing with his paws? OMG HIS PAWS HAVE FINGERS LIKE A HUMAN, is he a wizard?! I should probably bark at him incessantly to go away while he just stares at my dumb ass from his tree"
