Dear Dood

Advice from Anythink's favorite squirrel

Dood the Squirrel has traveled around the world, read countless books and even built his own rocket backpack. Now he’s offering his wisdom and insight to the advice-seekers of Colorado.

What fell off my mower and what do I do now?

Sincerely,
Sorrowful Landscaper

 

Dear Sorrowful,
Looks like you’re really in the weeds on this one! If I’m being honest, I have never mowed a lawn before. Whenever I need my lawn cut, I call up all my goat friends to come feast on the grass. Have you tried doing that? As for that broken piece, it looks like it would make a very nice bird house (or squirrel house). Hang it up in your backyard, and see what kind of new critters come to share your home.

I hope this advice is helpful to you. Please follow up and let me know how it goes.

Stay curious,
Dood
