Squirrels!

[arjay]

So I'm sitting on the couch,reading the forum,and a squirrel that I sometimes feed is standing on the window sill begging.I ignore him. A minute later I catch a glimpse of the dog's tail next to my feet and bend down to pet her,but it's not the dog.It's that crazy squirrel!

Determination. That deserves a treat. And a picture.

Gave him a slice of whole wheat after I chased him out the back door lol.

Looks like Mother Nature has rewarded you with a "Special Moment".
The critter deserves something for his trouble. TACC1

Here in Longview we have a bridge for squirrels built over the road to prevent them from being hit by cars. It's called the Nutty Narrows Bridge.

Next thing you know he'll be sitting at the dinner table. LOL

Don't let him in the living room. If he gets hold of the TV remote you'll never get to watch any of your shows.

It's easy to train them. Place something they like in the yard. Do it every day and gradually move it close to your door or window or wherever you want to feed them. Eventually they'll eat from your hand without biting your fingers. The last one I trained that way started coming in the house if I left the door open too long. He once ate most of a jar of peanut butter that was left open. I'm starting to see chipmunks down here. Never seen them this far south before and I've been around here 63 years.

This one in particular just cracks me up.He's pretty confident that I'll feed him rather than hunt him.Must be a female

Squirrels? Yes.
Cute story but too boring without PICTURES.

Lizards too.

Squirrel served up on whole wheat? Never thought of that. Might be tasty with a little brown mustard.

Yikes. Squirrels around here all have fleas! Little red fleas.

After a squirrel infestation in my attic, all the squirrels around here all have lead poisoning.

Not pickin' on the OP, but why is it OK to feed squirrels, but not coons, yotes or bears?

Who would want to sucker a bear in close enough to kill with a golf club?
