Dirty Rodents

Took some shots (camera shots for now) of the little buggers who are able to leap from the trees down onto our porch. They get into all of Wendy's plants and dig them up, eat off her tomato plants and occasionally poop. When it was time to ditch Cooper and Cosmo's gingerbread house, I put it out for the birds and the squirrels were the ones who attacked it hardest.

It took a day, but once one of them realized the thing was out there and he couldn't get the candy out of the frosting, it was like he called in the troops.


Three more promptly showed in within the half hour and they had completely hauled the thing away in chunks. It was kind of funny to watch them try to make it back to the tree branch carrying the pieces as its a good 6 foot jump. A couple of times they went right to the ground below missing the branch completely. Come spring time when its time to put plants out again, they'll be eating BB's or pellets so things can actually grow out there. Fatten up now guys, fatten up now...
