Chipmunks….
Everyone thinks they’re cute.
Me?
Not so much.
If you think they’re cute, you haven’t met Ervin.
Alvin’s evil twin.
He taunts me daily.
Digging into my mulch and planting stolen sunflower seeds in every available garden bed.
He sleeps on the deck furniture..
And is positively psychotic… staring in at me from the deck.
And then launching himself in mid air to slam into the window.
Repeatedly.
He’s even made it into the house on occasion.
But now…
He’s discovered the plant pots.
How do I know?
Aside from the scattered dirt on the table?
Busted!
The little bastard is now digging and planting seeds in all my potted geraniums, begonias and petunias.
How do I know?
The large sprouting sunflower leaves are a dead giveaway.
Cute? My ass.
Look at those teeth!
He’s probably plotting to chew off my toe in my sleep if he ever gets back in the house.
River's world..... 
lol – you have a problem there!
Ervin is in danger of becoming a fur trim a pair of gloves or something

I’d prefer a low flying hawk to spot him…

If he chews off the broken toe, you can kill two birds with one stone.

The husband is with you. He hates the little buggers. I do think they’re kinda cute and have inventively named them all Zippy, since they are fast, fearless, and impossible to tell apart. That doesn’t mean they don’t wreak the same havoc at my house. They do indeed. Cute little bastards!

I don’t usually have a problem with them, but Ervin is a psycho.

As long as he doesn’t start singing Christmas carols, Erwin will always be cute to me!

We do think they’re cute, but we’re trying not to encourage them. They have undermined several sections of the back walk.

Once they find a spot they like… it’s hard to unseat them.

They use their cuteness to wreak havoc, I’m glad you saw through his facade. So how did you come up with the name Ervin? He sounds more like a Butch or Digger, lol.

They’re twins. Alvin, Ervin. It’s all about the alliteration ….

I’d like to sedate him…. and relocate his chipping butt far far away.

I’d like to be able to commiserate with you on this chipmunk matter, but I only have ugly squirrels where I live, so I would probably die of cute if a chipmunk tore up my yard and threw dirt all over my table. Okay, maybe only the first time…

The cuteness factor fades over time… trust me on this.
