I have a few words today after I share two photos.
This is one of a litter of three chipmunk pups living under our front porch. Dad Tom rescued it as it was heading into the street. I got a couple photos prior to it being returned under the porch.
My little chippy friend will be joining the Wordless Wednesday blog hop at Comedy Plus.
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.

I’m glad the baby got rescued! My human’s boyfriend has a family of 9 baby squirrels at his desert house.
How did you ever see it? How did you ever rescue it? Inquiring minds want to know, and terrier instincts want to catch! XOX Xena

Aw, so cute. I’m glad Dad Tom stopped it from getting into any trouble. ~Ernie
Wait a minute!
How the heck did Dad Tom catch a baby chippy?
They move SO FAST!
I’m amazed.
What a dear and sweet sight, Me and Mommy love chipmunks. We always have families of them here where we live.
Oh what a little cutie! Good for Dad Tom, keeping it away from the street!
SOOOO tiny – but curious to explore his world. However, crossing a street is NOT a good way to begin!! Thanks for rescuing him. Hope they are being cared for by Mama Chippy….
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
We don’t have chipmunks in the UK. Just as well, I get cross enough with the stoopid squirrels which pinch the bird food – that’s MY job! From Toffee Cat
What a cute lil dude! Thanks for taking care of it.
