I met a chipmunk once. I was shocked at how minuscule it was. I had imagined, for some reason that they were about the size of a squirrel. Not true. Only saw the cartoon, Chip and Dale when I was young. I even remember the song. I was just sitting on a bench in Kamloops at 6 a.m. drinking a coffee. Waiting to visit dear old Granpappy at the hospital just before he passed. There it was. Tiny dude just sat there, looking adorable, heard a noise and bolted. Never forget that little rodent. Impossibly cute.

I thought the very same its so weird that squirrels are Godzilla sized compared to a chipmunks size LOL i also thought chipmunks would be the noisier animal but i was very wrong. i never hear a chipmunk chattering at something unless they get spooked an even then its only a few barks an than silence. very much unlike squirrels that chatter until the thing they are chattering at leaves or until the squirrel gives up an leaves. both are very cute but i like chipmunks more as the tinyness adds even more to the cute factor. plus squirrels can be annoying if ones trying to study or sleep LOL

i dont remember the song so much but i do have fond memories of watching Chip and Dale with my dad right before bedtime while mom was already at work by an hour or two.

thats pretty cool seeing the chipmunk at that time. like a sign that hes okay or such

Well I sure hope you enjoy your wee chipmunk for a very long time. Such a darling. Yes, it was great timing and pretty uplifting when I met that tiny one I met. The Chip and Dale song really blew so you're not missing much. 🐿
