A couple of months ago a squirrel ran in my parent’s house. And when I wrote about that story I found this picture.
Have I told you how much I love this picture?
Because I do.
Cute squirrel image by: seizethedave – Love it!
Well a few weeks ago I headed to my parents house to investigate the squirrel situation. Long story short - if you sit on their living room couch, you can see squirrels from all neighborhoods running down the street to their back door to be fed peanuts. It was like a neighborhood block party. Except for critters only.
So I fed them …
And if I would’ve open that door any wider, he would’ve run in. I just know it. And it would have made a great video. But then you would’ve all thought I need to wash my mouth out with soap.
Because I would’ve have said $%^$
And not the “s” word.
And then it would’ve jumped in my hair.
And I’d say $#$%.
Definitely not the “s” word.
Have a great day all …. I’m off to buy my parents a new mat for their back door. I think that’s from 1960 something. WTH
And then my Mother will say, “You’re not throwing that out. That was given to me from Billy down the street that use to be on your Dad’s baseball team when he was 10. He was married with 3 kids but he’s divorced now and he moved to Alaska. I got a card from him last Christmas.” And then she’ll show you his picture with his 3 kids on her refrigerator.
The woman saves everything because it has a story. And believe me, she knows all the “town” stories.
Even the squirrels …
Mom: That squirrel started coming from Marge’s house across the street. And he runs back and forth all day with his nuts.
Me: Mom I think you need to get out of the house more. WTNutso.
As I feed squirrels and tell them to sit up like a damn dog.

Your parents are going to regret feeding those critters when one of them gets in the house. I had to chase one out of my in-law’s house, and it wasn’ t pretty:)
And I feed squirrels too – they love to eat out of my trash can. So much so that they chewed through the lid!!! Stupid over-fed critters.
Arthur, don’t be bad mouthing my squirrels.
I love that picture of the squirrel, too! So stinkin’ cute! I used to love feeding the squirrels when I was growing up in the ‘Ville! They used to come right up to our front door. Once, a squirrel got mad because we were ignoring him to see what he would do…yep, he flung his body right into the front door. Almost as if he were knocking! He flew from the porch window pane. Remember how our porch was? It was funny. Then, we fed him! lol
Sue, you know Georgie would love for you to come over and feed the squirrels. And I bet you’ll find several pictures of yourself on the fridge.
My brother used to catch them and make them into pets (slaves) lol.. and I LOVE that picture too.. be careful what door mat you get for your folks as the squirrels may fall in love and make a nest out of it..
We used to have a pet squirrel, and every time a baby squirrel falls out of a tree, it is inevitably taken to my dear, sweet mother to orphan. It’s so nice to know there’s now a back-up squirrel mom.
Just be sure not to feed them cupcakes, as they do get blood sugar problems: It is not easy to get a specimen for testing… I know. But that’s an entirely different story!
