It was only a matter of time before I heard scampering on the deck.
.
.
And once baby chuckies find the deck?
.
.
They’re hooked and treat it like a playground.
.
.
It’s adorable.
.
.
They run and spin like whirling dervishes.
.
.
In and out of the railings, under the grill.
.
.
Until…
.
.
They spot a cat.
.
.
And have to investigate.
.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was riveted.

River's world..... 
This post got me thinking: are there ever dervishes that don’t whirl?

Doubtful.
What would be the point?

The IRL answer is yes. Whirling Dervishes are a subset of the Dervish religion. I happened to see a thing on tv a few months ago.

I suppose that’s why ‘whirling’ is added as an adjective…

😁🥰 Great photos there. Especially that last one. How long was that particular observation going on for between them?

It’s a recent development as babies have just discovered the deck.

I enjoyed these photos so much. That’s a creature we don’t have.

Darth got his first zoomies last night, ran into a wall, and repeatedly fell over.

I wish *I* had baby woodchucks. They’d be a HUGE improvement over the rats.

Love the staredown!
I thought of all your critter pics Friday when I saw my very first live fox, and a red fox at that… running through someone’s yard about a mile from my house. Unfortunately, I was driving and making a turn at a dangerous intersection at the time, so no pics. I thought we were way too suburban for foxes, but it couldn’t have been anything else.

They’re so darn cute. Do they just want His Lordship to come out and play?
