Thanks to my nature-photographer friend, “Pom,” I get lots of reels on Instagram about animals. They are entertaining and often very sweet. Today featured a squirrel.
This squirrel – no lie – brought a cookie for the lady who feeds him daily. He gently crawled up the railing on the steps to place it on the ledge of the brick facade by her front door. Full-sized, frosted cookie. Of course, now I’m feeling a tinge of remorse for removing those little pests from the yard and relocating them to the plains of Kansas. Maybe I should be feeding them so they quit eating my siding on the house? It might be a safer alternative than sprinkling the porch roof with cayenne pepper?
Then again, my squirrel-wrangling husband would be out of a job and he needs something to do with his spare time. 🤠 Time to set the humane trap again and give the newest pest a vacation.
