Chillaxin'

Life's good when you are a squirrel in O Hi O and spring has sprung!

Tick Tuesday

I thought you might enjoy seeing Tick having a little snack.

He loves the corn Daddy puts out for him!
I wonder where his brother Tock is today?

Maybe he's off building their winter nest!

Easy Like Sunday - Awards

I know I've been a little shy about showing you how my BooBoo is doing.

But this week, I am going to show you!

Just not today!

Instead, I'm going to show you an award that was given to me last week! I'm very honored that Camie's Kitties and Grrreta thought of me - what a great award!

Here is the meaning and rules of this award:"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

We pass this along to everyone, all of our blogging friends are charming!

Saturday was a beautiful day in O Hi O. Mommy still has a cold, but Daddy decided it was time to start a tomato patch. So while Mommy let us out on our deck and kept her eye on us and sneezed and wiped her Rudolph-the-Red-Nosed-Reindeer nose, Daddy dug up his patch in preparation for the tomatoes that he has started in the house. We saw our squirrel friends Tick and Tock watching Daddy with great interest. I hope for their sake that they don't think he's planting tomatoes for them!

A Squirrely Tail

This is the view for us from one of our living room windows. We love it. Every morning Daddy goes out in the freezing cold and feeds the birds so we have something to watch every day. What's that Mommy? Oh. Every morning Daddy goes out in the freezing cold and feeds the birds so they don't starve. Our viewing pleasure apparently comes second to the birds welfare. You might also notice a squirrel who goes by the name of Tock. He has a brother, Tick and they live in the big walnut tree in our front yard.

Tick and Tock get fed by Daddy too. He spreads out Critter Mix for them so they stay plump and juicy, er, ah, I mean they stay healthy over the winter.

Hi Tock!

This is the bush where the birds hang out waiting for food. Sometimes it looks as though there are hundreds of them in there. It is very exciting to watch!

Yesterday Mommy got this for Tick and Tock. We (Daddy) are going to hang it from the tree so that Tick and Tock can have a little fun. We hope that they like it!

Tattle Tail Tuesday

Let me tell you a "tail" about the mighty squirrel hunter Diamond Doggy. Diamond does not care for squirrels, not even a little bit. If he sees one through a window he barks and growls. In this very short video we see Diamond tearing after a squirrel (you have to look very closely to catch a glimpse of the squirrel). In his many years of hunting and chasing, Diamond has never caught a squirrel. What he lacks in skill, he makes up in spirit.

Diamond The Mighty Hunter

I may actually get to post a picture of ME tomorrow!
