About a week ago early evening I was walking over to the fitness center in my complex. Along the way I saw Bozo, my squirrel friend, and called to him. He came running over and came right up to my shoe and looked up at me. I apologized for not having a treat to give him. Then I started walking again. That darn thing followed me all the way to the center. I’d look back over my shoulder and he’d be running along. Then I stopped in the bathroom to get some paper towel first and he waited until I came out. As I was going into the fitness room, I told him I’d see him later and he turned and scampered off.
Recently, he’s had his girlfriend with him. They are so cute chasing each other in the trees. Don’t know if that is just play or mating rituals. ha. He still wards off any other squirrel when I open the “snack bar” on my balcony. But his girlfriend – I named her Rosie – has figured out that she needs to come when he’s not looking. She was shy at first and wouldn’t take the nut out of my fingers but now she will. She is a pretty little girl. I told her to go with Bozo and make babies and bring them to visit. LOL
Oh, and here’s a funny one…….I had dropped an almond on the balcony. Within seconds, Rosie showed up as well as Baby, the Blue Jay. They both perched on the edge of the balcony floor….looking at the almond, then looking at each other…..as in who would get it first. They were about 12 in. apart. Rosie was being a submissive girl and let Baby get it. Now that was crazy.
God has blessed me with His creation….His other kids….and I’m enjoying every minute!
