Some of them sound like somebody lobbed a big rock. The dogs are constantly bewildered. xoxoJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944766018173436353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-43974741457500165422015-10-26T21:25:56.909-04:002015-10-26T21:25:56.909-04:00The squirrel is so cute!

Our dog considers squirrels a delicacy, and our three cats have gone all out to try to eradicate chippies (and mice) from our property.

The ones around here will twirl around and leave at the least bit of motion.<br /><br />I think you should write a book for Alaina and Ruby about these chipmunks making messes on Grandma's porch and about Grandpa having to cart many wheel barrels full of acorns out of his yard every year.<br />You could even put the girls in the story. With your wonderful photo skills, you probably could market it.Cherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-35670773945639398862015-10-20T20:27:11.245-04:002015-10-20T20:27:11.245-04:00I'm loving that second photo.I'm loving that second photo.Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/07886053115520735923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-66435201316265207682015-10-20T18:34:45.849-04:002015-10-20T18:34:45.849-04:00If you hadn't said, I would thought those were...If you hadn't said, I would thought those were squirrels.

Our squirrels have it easy, though. We don't have ice and snow and freezing temps. It's just life as usual for them. We sure don't have wheelbarrows full of the things, so you either have more trees or trees that drop four times as many as ours. And yes, we hear them hitting the roof, too.Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-77981079587740532912015-10-20T12:06:28.551-04:002015-10-20T12:06:28.551-04:00I know they make a mess, and it is hard cleaning u...I know they make a mess, and it is hard cleaning up, but the pictures are so cute, and made me smile.
