Well, if he's in the city limits, it's illegal to fire a gun. :P
He might also not want to have a gun in the same house as his children.
A Super-Soaker, though, *that* worked nicely for my mom's cousin's
family trying to knock the squirrels off the birdfeeder. Maybe he
should give that a try....
(Although it's entirely possible that he doesn't want a super-soaker in
the same yard with his kids, either.)
Or he could ask to trade dogs for a week or two, and see if mine can
take care of it for him. (Although I'm not sure Miranda would really go
for that. (Miranda is the younger and larger of the two dogs.))
