#203662 - 04/22/08 04:38 PM My New Squirrel Friend
afgreyparrot afgreyparrot Officia Garden Helper Registered: 03/01/04 Posts: 60913 Loc: Cedar Hill	Yesterday I walked outside and a little baby squirrel jumped out of the sunflower seed bag, up onto the grill table. I talked real nice to him and he started coming closer... A few more soft words to him and he decided he was interested in getting a little closer... I got some sunflower seeds out of the bag and we made friends REAL fast! _________________________ I still run with scissors! (Big, fat lie...as usual. I can't even walk fast.)

Thornius Thornius The Bird Man Dream Gardener Registered: 05/24/05 Posts: 4199 Loc: Nashville, TN	The squirrels in Centennial Park and Vanderbilt University here in Nashville are just like that, too, Cindy. They will even sit on your lap and eat from your hand. It thrills me so much to see you out doing things like this, Cindy. I too, was praying for you. You have never seen so many people coming to gather for ONE person like people on this forum have come together for you, Cindy. I will tell some of my Cardinals to move out there and keep you company, Cindy. _________________________ Watch the Birdie!

That's the thing about this forum, we all pull together when prayer and support is needed for someone.....We really are a family unit. _________________________ Try to look on the bright side of things.

afgreyparrot afgreyparrot Officia Garden Helper Registered: 03/01/04 Posts: 60913 Loc: Cedar Hill	I made a friend with a little chipmunk yesterday...same place where the squirrel was the day before. But, I had gone out without my camera and didn't get a picture of him. I'm sure by the time I am able to go outside more I will be able to hold them. _________________________ I still run with scissors! (Big, fat lie...as usual. I can't even walk fast.)

afgreyparrot afgreyparrot Officia Garden Helper Registered: 03/01/04 Posts: 60913 Loc: Cedar Hill	You are very welcome, Dodge. Even though I had Bill mail them just a few days ago I don't even remember it. He told me today that you thanked me for them in a post, and I said "Did I mail those?" It will be nice when my memory comes back all the way. Quote: Just don't get bitten!!! Hmmm...I never even thought about getting bitten. Surely they wouldn't bite me...they love me. ...but...Lola loves me and she bites me. _________________________ I still run with scissors! (Big, fat lie...as usual. I can't even walk fast.)

Thornius Thornius The Bird Man Dream Gardener Registered: 05/24/05 Posts: 4199 Loc: Nashville, TN	The squirrels that sit on my lap and eat from my hand are amazingly sweet, but if you try to pat them they become Satanic, and try to take plugs out of you. You have to let THEM do the patting and touching while you just sit there. _________________________ Watch the Birdie!

She would probably try to kiss one and it would me all up in her face!!! She'd have a squirrel hanging from her nose!!! Like she hangs vacuum cleaners from her hair!!! _________________________ Fan of the Cindy and Bill Show! Praying for Cindy
