Good idea, of course now the "regular" one is there. As soon as mom takes the pic I'll let you know!

The bigger squirrels we normally see are fox squirrels. There are smaller squirrels called red squirrels that are around here as well. I've seen one at my feeder before. You don't see them much because the fox squirrels run them off. I'm not sure if they have a black stripe though. Your squirrel could be something different.

Whatever they are, I am sure they need to be stalked and possibly killed.

Vermin....I say VERMIN, one and all. Annoying, nasty....scourge of the earth creatures! Phew, sorry....I lost it there for a minute. I gotta go outside and patrol the perimeter.

Found it!! It's a baby red squirrel. Thanks, Bev!

Oh that squirrel picture is SO cute!!! Oreo, you'll have to ask Kirby if this squirrel has yummy-tasting poo. I'll bet Kirby's on poo patrol in the backyard today!!

Charlie, I'll never know unless mom takes me to the front yard on my leash. The bird feeder is in the front yard. It used to be in the back yard, but when the squirrels dumped the food out, I'd eat it and poop bird seed.... or throw it up in the house. Mom said "no more". Whatever. *sigh* I can only wonder....
