Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL of the Canadian commander Charles De Salaberry who defeated the American invasion of Montreal. Salaberry deployed marching buglers to play in all different directions, meaning his American opponents didn’t know how many men he had or what direction they were coming from. by NotThenNotNowNever
It did not go well for us. But we got a cool ass song about using alligators as cannons out of it.

I had one growing up. You HAVE to get them before they open their eyes. The worse problem I can remember was they can get into just about anything. You'll want to babyproof the cabinets. They can be like huskies, leave them alone too long and they start to tear stuff up. If you want to get one you'll want to check local laws since in some places it can be illegal. Not so illegal cops come looking but normal vets can refuse to treat it I believe.
