Attack of the killer squirrel balls.

So my 7 year old niece was sitting here beside me, waiting for her fingernails to dry when I scrolled upon this picture. We both died laughing. But her mom is gonna give me the biz. NUTS!

I told y'all about Mr. Chippy. He could have been charged with all kinds of crime. Breaking and Entering, Defacing Property, Theft...possibly Terrorism.

After my bird's food. Saw him enter. I just sat there. He took sunflower seeds. Hopped up on the back of the couch, peed! - and went out the window again. He kept coming back for weeks, looking in the window.

Eek! I had a little field mouse that used to sneak in and eat my sunflower seeds that I kept near my reading chair. We caught him in a peaceful trap and set him free in the woods.

Ack field mice. Too cute, at first. Every time the farmer cut the corn down, here they came. I did the humane traps at first too. Creepy. They are in there scratching. Drove them away in my car somewhere else, I was screaming all the way.. And release! And run right at me. Shivers about mice, I have.

I'll take a peeing squirrell any day.

I've got a groundhog that I've spent years trying to make friends with. It's been living under my tool shed at the backside of my property for years. We're to the point it won't run from me anymore if I'm sitting out on my patio. It'll actually come out and just kind of piddle around the outside of the tool shed every once in a while if I'm sitting out on my back steps or lawn chair. I guess that it's way of saying "howdy".

Do you talk to it? You have to talk to it. You have to adopt a groundhog voice, sort of like you're talking to your dog.

I had Mr. Possum that would climb up 3 floors of fire escape to look in the window.
He was kinda creepy at night. I fed him.

Don't get me started on the Canadian Geese attacks, said that before too.
I had to sneak out of my house from seemed like hundreds of babies and adults running full duck speed at me. I used to give them cracked corn till I got scared of them.

I have talked to it quite a bit trying to get it used to my voice. I've quoted most of Bill Murray's lines from Caddy Shack also but I don't think it found them near as funny as I do....it may be offended I called it a gopher.....;)

Yep. There ya go. Insulted ground hogs hold grudges.

There's also a fox that lives somewhere just inside the woods where my property borders the trees. It seems very skiddish about showing itself. I've probably only seen it 9 or 10 times over the thirteen years I've lived in my house, it may not even be the same one. Seen it walking right at the tree line with three baby foxes last year. They were fun to watch.

oh cute. And momma squirrel was saying, "see that groundhog? someday kids, that will be all yours." And the groundhog heard that, saw you smiling at the baby foxes, so obviously you are in cahoots with the Fox family. You, sir, cannot be trusted around groundhogs!

There may be a turf war brewing....my money is on the fox family. They're stealthy like that.....

What's even funnier is our dog Bailey, she's a Feist, a terrier looking breed supposedly known for being able to sniff out moles and groundhogs, runs the other way if she sees the groundhog. Yep, she's quite the guard dog. We're screwed if the groundhog ever decides it's going to storm the place...

See that spot on Bailey's head? That's where the groundhog came up while she was snoozing and went, boop! Scared her straight.
