OT-CHAT: hot pepper

I had a dog once who used to steal eggs and eat them.  After trying all
sorts of tricks & minor abuse to get her to quit, I loaded one with
cayenne pepper & gave it to her.  Although she was suspicious, she took
it and reappeared with tears in her eyes.  She never ate another egg as
far as I know, but she didn't quit stealing them.  She took them and
buried them in the garden.  Nothing quite like rototilling a ripe egg...

I had another dog who liked jalapeno peppers (along with peppery
radishes and turnips).  He preferred his peppers cooked, tho liked the
other veggies raw.  He would run and sit by the row of radishes begging
me to pull a few for him.  Never could get him to keep out of the turnip
patch, but he learned that I could pick better radishes for him than he
could select on his own.

So maybe those squirrels just like the stuff?
