ANOTHER CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE SQUIRREL KIND
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

Haha, so who will scare? I do not think that the aquirrel will scare. The kids will love to see this so much.
The squirrel doesn’t seem too scared. I wonder for how long they held each other’s gaze like that.
Give that squirrel a few hisses from us (and barks, too!). They are so bold and sassy. They need some coaching, or else they’ll take over!

That is a close encounter. Squirrels are such teases.
My kids can relate to this one! Great capture! XO
We don’t know if we’d be scared or thrilled!
Wow! That squirrel is so close C.J.! I’m sure you could get it. He looks pretty scared of you. 🙂
What a great photo!
You look like you’ve got Mr. Squirrel dead to rights.
have a wonderful Wednesday…
Noodle and crew

Luv ya’

It looks like that squirrel is just daring you to get a little closer…
The cheeky squirrel is taunting you.
Wow, CJ, you got so close to that squirrel! That little guy sure is brave!
THAT is close!
Uh oh! That rodenty rodent is a brave one!
Oh my, such fun!
Love this photo, it says it all! This year these bandits have not come by to ravage our sunflowers yet. We’re waiting MOL!
The cheeky squirrel returns … I sense his time is limited …
OMC! So close…and yet so far!
Am I witnessing a standoff? I’m sure you showed that squirrel who’s boss, Calista Jo!
They obviously have a “thing” for those planters!!!!!! Makes GREAT “nesting” material and they feel it’s worth the visual confrontation with the KB crew to get some!
Hugs, Sammy
Wow that squirrel has got a nerve!
Whoa! So close – and so far away.
So close yet so far!!!
OMC!! We would be chattering and lashing our tails in anticipation of a chase and catch!! That is one brave/bold/cheeky squirrel dude!!
What a great picture!
