Thank goodness for the wee beastie. That cute, clever, mischievous, intelligent, dangerous and somehow endearing creature that pops up in some unexpected quarter to charm us. The pesky squirrel who moves into grandma’s house and becomes front-page news in the small-town paper. As the story tells it, a Rambo-like grandma rages, “I’ll give you a war you won’t believe,” but as the “wee beastie” wins her heart, she ends up baking Christmas cookies for it.
