Squirrels

Shhhhhh, I think she can even hear me typing this word. In the winter we see their nests.  Apparently they have multiple “apartments” they use to raise their young, store food and keep safe from predators.

Yes, my dog is good, she’s killed a couple mice in another state, but there is no way she is going to catch a squirrel.

First of all, she’s on something called a leash. And yes, there are free bags around but we buy our own and I always have a roll in my pocket. We would love more dog-friendly parks here but normally they’re about a 30 minute drive away so that doesn’t work for us.

When spring and summer finally enter our world we’ll never see the squirrel nests but for me, it’s a wonderful sight to see in the bare winter trees. Zoe will continue to watch and chase squirrels but that population is safe, at least from her.

We know that life is coming back. There are more geese, and we always know about the weather from the seagulls.

I think that when we retire, many years from now, we may be………. that’s a few chapters on, dear reader. It’s late and I must retire for the evening. As always, Dee
