The training of the squirrels

[djconklin]

The training of the squirrels is proceeding at a rapid pace.

So far, I've learned that I have to go to bed earlier so I can be up before 6 to protect the place from them trying to break in! Also, they don't like Lysol air spray in the face!

I've got one who has been trained to climb up (or jump up) my leg while I'm at the computer to get his peanut. Now, he'll stay there and eat it! I trained him by tapping my leg with his peanut, or when he was on the table I'd turn my chair to face him. Now, he will also jump from the table onto my lap while I'm still working on the computer.

So what's their names David?

Names? I'm not the kind who names even their car!?!

However, there's the appropriatelly "named" skittish, then there's "Kit Carson"--likes to explore my apartment, then there's "the not so energetic bunny" who lies down on the table to eat her peanut, and then there's the one who's practically afraid of his own shadow--but he knows eneough to come to my window to get his peanut.

My brother emailed me today to say that he has a white pigeon to comes over and sits on the AC and taps his beak on the window to let him know when he's hungry!

One of my sisters emailed me some pics of birds climbing in throw the change slot at the car wash and ripping off the quarters! One had 3 in his beak. They found $4,000 on the roof of the building and under some nearby trees!

As I was just typing up another post a squirrel came in and jumped off the table and onto my lap! And then he runs outside to eat his peanut.

 

[Dathen]

?????????????? Do you have pet squirels????

 

[djconklin]

Street squirrels who have learned to come to me to get feed peanuts.

 

[djconklin]

They don't like Cheetos either. No junk food!

One leaped off the table and onto my shoulder (twice) in the past hour. And I just got to pet one of his feet.

 

[Dathen]

How do they get inside?

 

[djconklin]

I open the window and take the screen off.

If the screen is up they climb it to let me know that they are looking for food.

Then there's the one who literally stands up and reaches up to get his peanut.

One came in as I was working on my plagiarism article and while I had steeped away he walked over onto my desk and stepped on "q" so I had a string of 20 "q's" in the word "example." As if I don't have enough editing to do!!!

I thought I was feeding 4 squirrels. I looked out the window today and saw 5 in the yard.

At one time this morning, I had 3 in the apartment--and they don't like that!

Then there's the one I should "name" Kit Carson. He got his peanuts now he's going to explore my apartment!

Dj--look out--he's checking out to see if your apartment will be suitable 'winter housing'--FOOD--heat and all the amenities!!! ROFL!

 

[djconklin]

That's what my brother said!

 

[Dathen]

I agree, with your brother too!!!!!

 

[djconklin]

Then there's the squirrel who is so afraid of me feeding him his peanut--but, he keeps coming back for more--that he managed to throw himself off the ledge, ten foot drop to the ground below.

 

[Loveaboveall]

Isn't it great to experience God's creation up close!

ROFL--I was at a friends resort here near our home and he had some VERY tall pine tree's on the place. One day while we were standing and talking--all of a sudden we heard this sound as a squirrel came crashing thru the limbs! ROFL--no kidding--he fell about 50 ft-shook himself off and ran off like this was an everyday occurrence!! ROFL!

 

[djconklin]

The one I call "mommie" (bigger, spot torn out of her ear) who gets her peanut and turns around and lies down on the table to eat it, to day hopped over to my lap (we've being doing that this weekend) and then today proceeded to stay to eat her peanut--several times!

The one that stands up and reaches for her peanut leaped over onto my shoulder to get it and twice stayed there to eat it.

The squirrels at my sister's place have thrown her cats out of the tree enough times so that they don't even try anymore.

[Dathen]

ROFL ?????

 

[djconklin]

ROFL = Rolling on the floor laughing
LOL = laughing out loud -- a lot of the critics do that when they are losing an argument.
NOOB = newbie (new person, doesn't know his way around, doesn't know what to do, etc.)
