I Have Not Advanced Any Further In My Search For A Furry Companion. There Will Be A Time When I Will Someday Find The Right Pet. In The Meantime I Have Decided To Befriend A Squirrel. I Guess Maybe I Should Say Squirrel(s).
I'm Not Certain As To Why I Have So Many Squirrels In My Neighborhood Unless It's Because They Stay Away From The Main Road And Don't Become Road Kill.
Never The Less I Have An Abundance Of The Little Furry Things!
I Received Something For Christmas That Came With A Stipulation. It Was A Squirrel Feeder. A Friend Of Ours Has One But Her Yard Is Full Of Corn Stalks. The Little Boogers Like To Bury The Corn. Sooo The Stipulation Is I Only Feed Them In The Winter Months. I Agreed And Now Everybody Will Be Happy. I Purchased A New 4x4 Post To Mount The Corn Feeder Onto. I Took Advantage Of An Unusual Warm December Day To Dig The Hole So I Could Bury The Post. It's A Rather Small Feeder. It Has A Small Perch For The Furry Critter To Sit On While He Or She Is Gnawing Away At The Corn On The Cob.
It has Been Sitting There For A Few Days Now And No Squirrel. I Placed It Directly In Front Of My Bedroom Window So I Can Watch It While I Am At The Computer. Unfortunately It's Located On The Side Of My Home Where There Are No Tree's.
It Is In My Back Yard Where The Critters Tease Our Little Dog. We Have A Yorkshire Terrier Who Enjoys Chasing Them In The Back Yard. The Squirrels However Enjoy The Teasing Of Our Beloved Dog. Instead Of Running Up The Tree To Sit On A Limb The Squirrel Runs Around The Trunk Of The Tree. So Our Dog(Alaya) Continues To Run Around And Around This Tree.
So How Do I Let The Squirrels Know I Have This New Feeder For Them? Today I Decided To Bait Them. I Placed A Small Pile Of Corn Near The Tree. I Then Started Dropping A Kernel Here And There Which Leads To The New Feeder. I Hope They Will Catch On Because I Have About 50 Pounds Of Kernel Corn Ready To Go.
COME AND GET IT!
