It's hysterical to watch a dog suddenly go into "hunting mode" and chase the little fuzzies up the trees!!!<BR/><BR/>And I've even seen a dog bounce up and down for 10 minutes, trying to reach it 50 feet up!!!<BR/><BR/>GOD LOVE THEM!!!<BR/><BR/>And it's so TRUE...they DO look like the Road Runner and Coyote!<BR/><BR/>So glad you enjoyed Greg's drawings...I knew you would. His work is SO detailed. And there's a beautiful ENERGY to his creations! He himself...is such sweet soul!<BR/><BR/>It's always wonderful seeing you, Gypsy-Heart. Thank you for stopping by today.

If I don't have it locked (which is most of the time) and he sees one I end up sking over the hill and through the woods!! He is normally well behaved, but he zones out on squirrels. I think it is a game for him and the squirrels..sort of like Road Runner and Coyote.<BR/> <BR/>I love Greg's drawings..especially this last one!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-42400687797701498452008-03-02T22:48:00.000-05:002008-03-02T22:48:00.000-05:00Hiya Greg!!!!Yepeee...so glad you caught this post...Hiya Greg!!!!<BR/><BR/>Yepeee...so glad you caught this post.

I wonder if it was a HAPPY MEAL???<BR/><BR/>And I TOTALLY agree, that squirrels are smarter than MANY people that I've met recently (also throughout my life).<BR/><BR/>You are so VERY welcome, my squirrel loving friend...this post is a tribute to them.

Right on. :)<BR/><BR/>Living in a cities most of my life, I've grown up seeing them around, and left it at that. It wasn't til living in the burbs that a community of at least a dozen fuzzers took it upon themselves to let me know that I was the varmint... and they were graciously allowing me to live on their land. Like you, the more I noticed them, the more personality they took on. <BR/><BR/>I can't help thinking they're smarter than a few of the people I've seen recently. I'll never forget seeing one grey happily carting a Macdonalds bag up a tree to it's nest.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Ron... serious points for the squirrels! :)Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13221159419809861455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-3539805519737536002008-03-02T10:24:00.000-05:002008-03-02T10:24:00.000-05:00Morning Enigma~YEAAAAA another squirrel lover!!!I ...Morning Enigma~<BR/><BR/>YEAAAAA another squirrel lover!!!<BR/><BR/>I know...doesn't it amaze you how anyone could be afraid or God forbid harm a little squirrel?<BR/><BR/>I really don't understand that?<BR/><BR/>Sunday is my day in the park to feed my fuzzy little friends!!<BR/><BR/>And thank you for checking out Gregs artwork...I totally agree, the guy is brilliant!<BR/><BR/>Great seeing you, my friend.

Even when I put the same food on their feeder--they're still doing the gymnastics to eat it off of the cardinal's table....or slidin' over the baffle to leap onto the woodpecker's feeder....or SOMEhow pullin' up the bunny's corn from it's holder and carrying the whole ear off to the neighbor's yard.

When...Helloooo Nitebyrd~<BR/><BR/>Hey...ya, know something??? When I moved back to north-east, that's EXACTLY what I said to myself about the Florida squirrels compared to the Northern squirrels.<BR/><BR/>They are SO MUCH FATTER in the north. I think the warmer weather of the south, must keep them nice and slim. The squirrels here eat not only peanuts, but pizza, candy, italian hogies..you name it...they eat it!<BR/><BR/>They must all have clogged arteries!!<BR/><BR/>Your "little guy" with no tail sounds adorable!!! And yes...they have the most AMAZING coordination! However, I have noticed that they don't SEE very well. I can throw about 5 peanuts around them...and they seem to SNIFF there way to them!<BR/><BR/>God love them!<BR/><BR/>As always, Nitebyrd...it's always a delightful treat to see you and share. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.<BR/><BR/>Hope you spend it with A!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-4411180180702074582008-02-29T21:02:00.000-05:002008-02-29T21:02:00.000-05:00Evening Nicole~Oh, MAN...I would LOVE to be where ...Evening Nicole~<BR/><BR/>Oh, MAN...I would LOVE to be where you are...I really enjoy the "sticks"...REALLY!<BR/><BR/>I spent 7 days alone in the mountains about 3 years ago (it was a retreat that I was on) and the wildlife was EVERYWHERE. I saw no bears...but the deer were abundant (they actually allowed me to photograph them...I sware). They all stood still and gave me a BIG smile. I've got the greatest shots of them.<BR/><BR/>Ok...and I MUST agree with you about the freaking pigeons!!!! Being in the city they're EVERYWHERE. And I TOO have been attacked by them in the park. Isn't it just awful??? I felt like I was in the movie, "The Birds." I can't stand them! I call them Vultures, because they ALWAYS steal the peanuts away from my precious squirrels!!<BR/><BR/>(not big into snakes either)<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for dropping by today, Nicole...it's always enjoyed!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-15765817875371083262008-02-29T20:49:00.000-05:002008-02-29T20:49:00.000-05:00Howdy Jeff~I think I hate you now!!!A HAT??????I h...Howdy Jeff~<BR/><BR/>I think I hate you now!!!<BR/><BR/>A HAT??????<BR/><BR/>I hope the next one you see...chases you like Akelamalu and then BITES you!<BR/><BR/>Tee-hee!<BR/><BR/>I KNOW you're really a softy and would never harm a fly.<BR/><BR/>(however...I've swatted a few fly's in my life)<BR/><BR/>Good seeing ya, buddy.
