We had a nest of them on the farm growing up. Spent many hours just watching them.

She WANTED a squirrel. She cornered a rabbit in a garage once and was obviously lost as

They must know to the millimeter how far a dog's teeth can reach. They race around the top of a fenced yard like the are on the autobon.

I think the are cute and keep a supply of seeds and peanuts for them.

Bob the cat was another story. He hunted them and brought a baby squirrel into our basement. It was a 24 hour comedy of errors including a special visit from a squirrel-lady.
