We’ll Just Call Him Rocky

filed in Misc on Sep.16, 2008

The dogs were sleeping peacefully in the living room while I was working away at the computer yesterday afternoon. Without warning, Lucky started barking frantically and would not stop. It startled me to the point I almost jumped out of my chair. I sensed some urgency in the bark and decided to investigate; perhaps there was a ‘s-t-r-a-n-g-e-r’ sneaking about outside? Or maybe it was just Rocky, our tree squirrel, paying a visit again? I’ve learned to keep my camera handy now, just in case. Glad I did. Here’s what was hanging upside down in our tree, filling his belly full of nuts! No wonder Lucky was frantic. This little guy is a careless eater and has been dropping half-eaten nuts on Lucky’s head for days. And he’s fast and unreachable, that pesky little squirrel!
