7 Baxter the Hero

7 Baxter the Hero Saturday I woke up feeling really bad that I had been so pushy with my friends about the squirrels. I thought that was the end of the Baxter Bunch. But then Lucy showed up, ready to look for Baxter! Thanks for coming! So sorry about yesterday. Don't worry, Eva, we all understand what a hard time this is for you.

We made a list of everything we know so we can find Baxter: 1. Baxter chases squirrels 2. Squirrels chase Baxter 3. Lots of squirrels live around the Old Oak Tree 4. George heard squeaks coming from the Old Oak Tree 5. Baxter's collar was found on the Old Oak Tree 6. A photo shows Baxter near the Old Oak Tree on Tuesday

Lucy! The squirrels and the Old Oak Tree MUST have something to do with Baxter going missing. We HAVE to search that tree until we find him! I agree. Let's call the others and ask them to meet us there! We'll meet you there!

When we got to the tree, there were squirrels everywhere! Look! All our posters are gone! I'm going to find out what those squirrels are up to! Eva, hang on! Watch. They're doing something with the posters. Yeah... What are they doing? I don't know, but let's find out! We all watched the squirrels.

The squirrels were squeezing posters (and everything they could find!) into a little hole in the tree trunk.

Why are they stuffing things into that hole? They're just being weird. Squirrels are weird. Hang on. What's that noise? Squeaking! It's Baxter! I'm sure it is! I darted over to the hole. The squirrels looked so sad. I'd never seen them look like that before. Then I peeked in the tree trunk and saw.
