There is nothing worse then getting new neighbors that show no consideration for your property. They stare at your yard. They run out in front of your car when your driving and they clearly take over your neighborhood like they have lived there all their lives.
When I briefly lived in Wyoming I recall seeing the biggest squirrels I had ever seen. They were beautiful larger then our cat. Oscar Padilla would run from room to room watching them as they raced outside the windows. I thought they were so cute. Those squirrels had the bushiest tails and would run up the pine trees next to our home. They were a treat!
California ground squirrels aren’t quite the same. These squirrels are making their homes in my neighbors rock fence. Remember when I saw one squirrel well they have infiltrated the neighborhood and park. They stand on the fence and hop along the fence checking out my yard and staring at Maulie and me. Now when I back up out of my driveway I have at least four squirrels run across the road in front of my dirt road. Then when I get on the pavement driving down the road they are running across the pavement in front of me!. If they could stick out their squirrels paws at me they would give me a wave goodbye.
I feel like my garden is going to be infiltrated by just the pure numbers of these critters. I haven’t heard coyotes in a while so maybe that’s why they seem to be multiplying. Even Morris is up all night checking them out. Morris has been staying next door all day and eats briefly and off he goes to check out our newest neighbors. All Morris needs is a bag of popcorn to nibble on as he watches them play in the street!
The only good thing is at least they're not skunks.
Thanks to a fine Farm house for the black and white graphics.
