Culprit caught in the act

[Medusa]

The little thief! That is cute, though. I hope you get a pic of it happening.

At the house I rented, I noticed one day that my door mat was gone. I thought some neighborhood kids might have taken it. A few days later I bought a new one, came home from work, doormat gone. Ok, now I'm angry. I waited a few more days, then bought another one. I looked out my door that afternoon and saw the groundhog (that I had named Scarface b/c the poor boy was a mess) dragging the doormat down into his hole! I got into a tug of war w/that rascal and I won! I figured, though, that as soon as I turned my back that it would be gone but he left it alone after that.

ROFL! I can see poor Scarface down in his hole teeth chattering just miserable because he couldn't have that rug.

[Catherinedana]

That's hysterical!!! he was decorating his house, Mary!! How could you be so mean

I guess you and ol' Scarface have the same taste in floor coverings!!

Mean Mary! At least I let my little one have his/her way!

No sign of the little goober today - must be all bedded down in that nice soft nest. I'm surprised he didn't share his treasured find with some buddies tho. We've had more squirrels this year than I can ever remember being around, yet hardly a bunny to be seen. It's usually the opposite way around.

My grandson made a squirrel feeder in shop class last year - the kind you put an ear of dried corn on. Guess we'll have to get that out soon to keep my little friend (and family) happy.

And keep that camera handy in case you catch a glimpse of the little thief, I love squirrels, we mostly have chipmunks out here though.

Those Chipmunks can get into things too. I saw one help itself to someones backpack. It went into the backpack came out with a Reeses candy bar, opened up the wrapper right there on the spot & then took off with it. This chipmunk was good size & I know why, it must of done this many times before.

Those chipmunks are wise little devils. They actually get the top off of the bird feeders and get down inside and eat the seed. I couldn't figure out how the feeders were being emptied in a matter of hours, until I actually saw them doing this.

I brushed Myndi this afternoon, and had a huge amount of her fuzzy undercoat to put out in the tree for my friend. Hope he finds it since it's so nice and soft. I put it in a Y area of the lower part of the tree, so he can't miss it when he goes up or down!
