At least the grass is green enough your side of the fence 😉 Squirrels – the great tormentors 🐿

Spike is a man with a mission to undermine the Squirrel Empire. Charly is young yet. Soon she will take Squirrel Patrol seriously, but let’s hope she stays within the Morris Williams Perimeter!!

Thank you very much, Ann. Yes, let’s hope she doesn’t attempt the shenanigans of her elder brother who is a Squirrel Nut Case!! 🙂

Pops has been outside for at least 2 hours with no interest in coming in. She has several squirrels and various birds under surveillance. Nut case for sure. 😁

Pops looks so much like Charly but has a Spike-like Nut pursuit…hm…wish they lived closer!

Spike is determined. Maybe (dare I say?) the new fence height was a little too optimistic?

Much consternation…just watching him very closely when we go outside…temporary solution. We have larger issues at the moment like No Closets yet. Now there’s some fun.

Oh my. Now is your chance to do creative things like a clothes rack display hahahaha. I’m sorry. I won’t make light of a horrific problem like No Closets. In fact, it probably should be NO CLOSETS!!!

NO CLOSETS – the closet guy showed up this a.m. for about an hour and put together the drawers for the main closet and then left. When i questioned him, he said he had 8 new Lab pups at his farm and had to help his wife take them to the vet…see me tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. sharp.
Good grief.
