Since our town house is right next to a small cluster of trees, seeing multiple squirrels hanging around is not unusual. In remembrance of Tubby, the squirrel Elder Thompson and I caught while in Michigan, Traci and I began earning the trust of one squirrel in particular. We named him Chubby, we call him Chubbs for short. Periodically we will break up a piece of bread and toss it out our patio door. If we miss a day, Chubbs comes around to see why we haven’t tossed out the food for him. Sometimes his other friends show up and they usually end up fighting over the food. One morning Traci heard a crash on the patio door. When she glanced out the kitchen, one of Chubbs friends was clinging to the screen door. The other squirrels were fighting, so we figured he ended up on the screen because he was getting away from the violence. I think it was gang related. Tonight we were sitting outside on the patio and the squirrel came up to Traci seeing why there wasn’t any food right then and there. We fed Chubbs to see how close he would get to us. We added some photos to show how trusting he is becoming. His friends showed up as well and we had 5 squirrels at one time. It was a lot of fun, but also shows how truly lame we are. Talk with you all soon!
