OMG! We had two baby squirrels out back. Sean went outside to smoke and one came up to him and chattered at him. Well, Kenna let Hopie out and scared it. Then we saw the second in the tree! It even came to me and grabbed a cracker.
My gramma had squirrels when she lived in OK and I've always been told to not mess with them since they will bite, but I couldn't help it!
Here's the one that didn't run off when Hopie attacked...oh and it's about the size of my hand (not including the tail of course, that thing is long and fluffy!).
Hm, so I apparently am in a postin' mood today! But, I have a good reason for this one, the third post today...
I was reading a blog, I cannot remember where, I read too many blogs, the other day and in this post the writer said something about she thought it was strange when people talk to dogs/cats/animals. Seriously? If it's strange to talk to animals then I must be way cracked-up crazy. So, my question, do you talk to animals? Any animals, anyone's animals, etc.? I want to know!
For as long as I can remember I have talked to animals...and no they do not talk back, unless I've had way too much to drink. I remember talking to our dachshund, Holly, when I was little, I even talk to animals I don't know. And not usually just a "hi", but I carry on convos with them, ie "hey puppy, how are you?", "hello, are you a nice doggy...can I pet you?", "hi, what's your name?", etc.
Case in point, on our honeymoon, over 8 years ago btw, we went to Cancun. We went to this great place with animals and even within' our little all inclusive place there were animals there too. I saw a gorgeous parrot and I went up to it and said "hello" in that annoying bird voice, I know you know what I mean. Anywho, this bird spoke back...and it just cracked me up and you can tell it made an impression since I remember it so long after...this very pretty mulitcolored bird clearly and loudly said "HOLA" back. OMG, I snorted I was laughing so hard. I guess I forgot that I was in Mexico and they don't speak English there...why would the birds?
And finally with our Hopie-shmopie, she ran down the stairs and just looked at me sitting on the couch, laptop on lap, men's gymnastics on the tube. So, I promptly peered around my laptop and said "hello Hopie-shmopie, whatchoo doin', huh?" She cocked her head at me and sighed I swear it. I think she would if she could say back to me "bitch, I can't carry on a convo, so shut the hell up". After her heavy sigh, she pranced off to get some water then immediately started lickin' her hoo-hoo. Really, if that's all she's about, it wouldn't be so dammed bad.
