I feared this day would come.
And now it has.
She’s back.
.

.
That horribly annoying, utterly destructive red spawn of a demon is back.
.

.
I saw her running all over and around the back deck…
.

.
Which means she’s looking for another nesting spot.
.

.
My loyal readers will remember the hell she put us through when she had her devils brood in our eaves a while back. We evicted her, only to have her chew her way through the wall in the man cave/Barn Mahal.
.

.
She’s no good, I tell you.
A veritable rodent menace.
.
Aye … But she’s right cute. 😃🐿️

Riv, you know I love you and that it pains me to say it, but you gotta defend your hut. She needs to die and a pellet gun is a lot more merciful than a belly full of poison. A good marksman could make it so she never knew what hit her

Thanks. Didn’t mean overall mean, but humans need to have more respect for aninals. They do not live by our rules. Killing them for being who they are is mean!

We saw maybe one squirrel when we first moved in. The eastern gray fox squirrels are invasive here, but now they are all over–possibly because my neighbors feed them peanuts.

Gray squirrels are lovely. They nibble nuts and seeds and move on. Red squirrels are extremely destructive. You don’t want them moving in, trust me.

The western gray squirrels here are adorable and out compete/ outfight the eastern fox squirrels. But the eastern fox squirrels produce an average of two offspring versus the western squirrels’ one offspring. BOOO. Here it’s the invasive squirrels who destroy eaves and lawn furniture and electrical wires.

I think they have multiple litters.
Which is not good !

They can have two litters in a year but it is not a given. Gestation is about 38 days, and the kids stick around for about 18 weeks, or 4 months or so. Slam, bam, thsak you ma’am, and daddy is out of the picture. Momma does all the work herself. As a woman you snould feel for her.

Whst if hubby was to build a squirrel house, the opening big enough for a squirrel but not a cat, and hide it by the barn, or in the crook of a tree limb. Maybe she would move in,and not bother yourhouse anymore…
