Meet Peter.
He is an unwanted porch guest who has decided to feast on the pie pumpkins the girls got on their playgroup field trip to the pumpkin patch.
He really seems to be enjoying himself, doesn't he? Maybe if he were skinny and starving I would feel bad for him, but Peter is most obviously not starving--he's actually making out very well this season. I have heard he is making his way around various porches in our community, ruining other pumpkins as well.
Todd wanted to buy a BB gun to cure our community of this squirrel once and for all, but when thinking about it, I imagined eyes shot out and innocent bystanders injured, so I didn't think it was a good idea, however, when I saw that the rodent was also digging up my bulbs, I almost went out and bought one myself.
Gone are the days where I swerve while driving to miss a squirrel. Swerving may still happen, but not to miss the squirrel, that's for sure! Isn't it time for hibernation anyway?
What a mess!
