'Darn, where are they….'

My hands dug relentlessly into the moist ground. Silently cursing, as dirt flew all around me. They had to be here, there was nowhere else they could be. My ears twitched as the melting snow fell from the tree above, just barely missing me. If I had to dig up the entire area around this stupid tree, I would.

"Where could they be…?" I muttered sadly, tears forming in my eyes. I looked up at the sky depressed, how long was it since I started digging. The sun painted the sky with oranges and reds as it slowly began setting. It had definitely been a few hours at least if not more.

"What are you doing down there Jimmy, your covered in mud,"I glanced up, spotting George perched on a low branch. His tail twitched back and forth, as he tilted his head sideways confused.

"Have you seen my nuts…I can't seem to find them anywhere?" I asked hopeful. George sat there quietly for a few seconds, before bursting out laughing. He laughed so hard he nearly fell from the branch.

"You're pretty pathetic Jimmy if you can't even remember where you buried your nuts," he chuckled. "Shut up, I can remember …I know I buried them under this tree!"

'He is such a jerk; I wish he'd fall from that branch'

"Well that's funny considering this is where I buried my own nuts," George smirked. My eyes went wide…he couldn't have, or could he. "You stole my nuts!" I yelled.

My anger rose, I clenched my paws furious. I was fighting the urge to climb up the tree and ring his neck. "I guess this situation would be called finders keepers," he said smugly, before starting to laugh.

'I'll make him pay'

I quickly glanced around at the ground looking for a certain item. Smiling when I found it, I picked up the good-sized rock. With all the strength I could muster, I chucked it at him.

I couldn't believe my eyes, the rock actually hit its target. It hit him square in the forehead, knocking him off balance and to the ground. I stared shocked as he sat up, glaring furiously at me.

"I'm going to…" he paused looking down. George went pail and made a disgusted face. I too looked down and nearly fell over laughing. What he had landed in was none other than dog poop.

"No! I'm going to smell for weeks," he cried dismayed. "Well look at it this way George, you smell better then you did," I teased grinning.

'He got exactly what he deserved; I just hope he learns a lesson from all this'

In the end, I may have lost my nuts, but I regained a good laugh. I had never laughed so hard in my life. And, that is all because of George and karma.
