my parents have a backyard squirrel, Charlotte Nutkin, who “accepts” offerings of this kind. they draw the line at feeding her by hand (though it’s clear that she wouldn’t mind), but when she comes to the back door with paws in respectful posishe and says “a-hem”, they put out a nuts for her. they have watched her raise a family and become out-ranked by her grown children (my dad calls them “The Nutkinnettes”), and she has become something of a companion as well; she just hangs out with them on back porch sometimes, not asking for nuts but just lounging nearby, sprawled on her belly. my mom has been going through chemo and, after the death of their beloved corgi last year, has been sorely missing a furry presence in the house but didn’t want to increase my dad’s burden by adding a new pet to the mix. charlotte seems to really cheer them both up!

Hon Glad – hang in there (imagine obligatory kitten-dangling-from-tree-limb pic)…the depreshuns, they are no fun, i know. glad to hear you’re feeling better!

Surprised no one commented about the Klondike bar line…funny!…nearly made me snort my coffee, whilst I admire my own set of rodents with their ‘gimmegimme’ actions.
Klondike bar=squirrels brain freezes, and squirrel would re-use wrapper for nesting, then wonder where he got wrapper after recovering from brain freeze. It would be like waking up with a hangover, not alone….

@bookmonstercats and @ Lindr… won’t speak for Hon Glad, but I’m in retail… you, know, one of those places you stop in at on your way to work at the construction site for coffee and cigs and snacks. Yep, it sucks, but not so much in the summer, when I get to hear the birds getting up as I head to work for 5:30 opening.

I just figured out, whut it wuz, tickling the back o’ my alleged brain, about the recent posts. I want to see a parallel post showing the skwirrel grabbing the peanut, beside the shot of the ginger kitten grabbing/ holding the milk bottle as it nurses .
Oh, Eds?
…………..We’re WAITING……(hands “akimbo”, ridiculously arrogant & impetuous expression on face )

(Actually the express. on my face is hopeful & wishful, but in a rash moment, thought maybe I should present the persona of a rushed customer w/ stringent expectations instead. Maybe not.)

And @ Hyura: Hi !! Happy Friday.
BTW, if ye’re interested,yesterday I did a post, responding to you & Theo, about “snips/snails/ puppydog tails” (under the 3 photos of the grey Weimie puppy); a few different varieties of the rhyme exist, evidently …

Peace & Cuteness to all
