I’ve watched the squirrel here torment my dogs. They know just how far down a tree they can come and still be out of reach and go round and round and round making my dogs crazy dizzy.

That is hilarious. They have a mischievous streak in them for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Squirrels? cute? they are horrible! (imho) Rats with bushy tails and good PR. If they get in your house they’re the very devil to get rid of. Hubby likes them but we both go to great lengths to keep them away from our bird feeders! I don’t mind them in the wild, but I do not want them in my garden!

At times aggravating, but horrible? A real rat infestation is horrible. Squirrels can be a challenge if they set their sights on bird feeders, that is for sure.

I’m generally an animal lover, but I just don’t like squirrels. They are fiendishly clever. I’m fine with them in the wild, though.

“Fiendishly clever” is a perfect way to tag them. Well stated! May they respect your property lines! LOL

No argument there. Squirrels are super cute and always up to something.

Seems like they have to be always rummaging around looking for some bit of trouble. Thanks for stopping by!

Those little hands…..they are adorable! Except for the time they chewed through our screen and then chewed through the plastic bag to get to some bird food. My dog was barking like a maniac to alert me: “Thieves in the screened porch!” But I still get a kick out of the little devils!

They love to get into trouble! I feel sorry for you dog during the theft.

I grew up knowing this old guy in my neighborhood who had some great stories. He once told me how he captured a whole gang of squirrels in a canvas bag. They were walking across his yard…in size places. (Just to make a long story short.)

Dare I ask, what did he do with them? (Do I want to know?)

Most of the “wild” animals are cute to see through the lens of a camera, but when you get up close and personal with them, sometimes, not so much!

Oh yes! You do need to be careful around wild critters.

I built a squirrel-proof bird feeder when I lived in Michigan. Soo fun to watch them try to get the seed!

We have quite a few of them in our yard. They are so smart. They almost tease my dog with their hide and seek 😍

We started getting squirrels about 8 years ago. One of my best mornings was seeing a momma with 5 little ones hopping along behind her!

Actually this guy was just sitting there munching on some morsel he had found. He stayed long enough to allow this shot. Thanks for commenting.
