I had to chuckle at this grey squirrel visitor the other day.
.
.
It had just stopped raining and he decided to make use of the patio furniture.
.
.
I hope he wasn’t waiting for me to serve him dinner.
.
.
Our buffet is strictly self serve.
.
.
Sometimes you see things that are just…. wrong.
And that’s what I saw the other day. A product that’s beyond wrong and well on its way to horrifying.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no.
.
.
Ack!
Who in their right mind would purchase this abomination?
.
.
I’m going to have nightmares about this, I just know it.
.
.
Can you see her?
.
.
I didn’t at first, but then she started chattering.
.
.
Even then she was hard to spot.
.
.
Who knew momma red was so good at blending in….
.
.
When you’re a housebound cat, squirrels on the patio furniture are the ultimate tease.
.
.
So close!
.
.
Poor Dudley.
.
.
Even Momma Red got in on the game.
.
.
His Lordship was actively cackling when she showed up.
.
.
So close, and yet so far.
.
.
She’s back.
.
.
And this time she brought reinforcements.
.
.
She was running to and fro, across our deck, up and over the roof.
.
.
Plotting her next invasion location.
.
.
But the worst part?
Look….
.
.
She’s trying to recruit the grey squirrels!
.
.
Because it looks like we’re going to need these again.
.
.
It’s true. I’m starting to feel like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
.
.
Agree or disagree, it’s still funny.
.
.
Yes! That’s it exactly….
.
.
I fill those darned things three times a day, stop complaining.
.
.
No political comments necessary.
.
.
Wouldn’t it be great to always have an umbrella handy?
.
.
No more rooting through the nightmare that is your hall closet or under your lost french fry infested car seats.
.
.
Every time it rains?
.
.
You just flip your built in umbrella up over your head… and the problem is solved.
.
.
And damned if she doesn’t look like she just gave birth.
.
.
We’ve sealed up every hole we could find, but that won’t stop her.
.
.
She’ll just chew through another wall.
.
.
How can something so small can be so destructive?
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten spotted her from the window and was very interested.
.
.
Which might be just the incentive I need to allow him to go outside.
😈
.
This month’s calendar squirrel is a duet.
.
.
And really, for all the aggravation our resident red bitch causes us …. I think a concert with rodent sized baby grand and vocal accompaniment is the least she can do.
.
.
More photos from January. This was actually our last sighting of the rodent who must not be named.
.
.
I’d like to think she’s gone to that large oak tree in the sky..
.
.
But with my luck she’s just recruiting interspecies mercenaries and planning her next attack.
.
.
Something tells me we haven’t seen the last of her…
.
.
River's world.....
