Squirrels  

I also love watching squirrels. For a while I used to buy 5lb. bags of unsalted peanuts to entice them to my back deck. At night I would hide the nuts in various nooks and crannies and watch them look for them in the morning. Most days they would find them all. I lightened up feeding them when I discovered that they we hiding excess peanuts. They were burying them in the flower pots that I had on the deck. I have a great picture of a baby squirrel that I took while it was visiting. I have posted it in my profile.

That is too cute. I hope you get a picture so we can all see them. I love to watch them. I know I have one that loves to tease my cat. We have a tree outside our bedroom window and the squirrel loves to is in that tree and it just flicks it tail like telling my cat here I am and you can't catch my tail. It freaks my cat out*L* I love to sit and watch it. My cat deserves it because she thinks everything belongs to her*L* I also love that commercial where the one runs across the street and high fives the other one. I swear they really do that!

I like squirrels. We had a pair of them outside one of the places I worked. They would come to the window and stand with their little feet on the glass to get our attention. We had a little bag of food that we would get into for them every day.

If you really want them to come, find a windowsill or something outside where the dogs can't get to. Put some food there every day. Once they figure out you are feeding them and not hurting them, they'll come back around.

If you have dry dog food, try putting that out.

We live in a woodsy area by a canyon, so we get lots of critters. Many squirrels and deer. I had a boyfriend who called deer "big rats" lol, because they'd eat up his garden. Anyway, I enjoy the animals, even if they do exasperate me sometimes. I have a tomato plant whose days are probably numbered -- but I just can't get too mad about it.

That is too cool I hope you get a picture. I Would love to see it. We honestly do not have alot of wildlife that would be consider approachable. We do have little Quail families and they are pretty neat!
