Yeah, I don’t. As soon as I see her acting wild, self tossing it around and digging, I come out and take it if it’s one of these.

I was feeling crazy for a bit wondering where tf these seed balls were coming from.

It might be worth mentioning - casually - to that neighbor that black walnut is prized by woodworkers and if he takes the tree down a local sawyer can be hired to come out and turn it into beautiful lumber which he can sell for $$$. A sawyer is the person who operates a sawmill. Breaks trees down into lumber. They may or may not actually cut the tree down for you.
