SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!



Picture of the squirrel

It use to be that we hardly ever had any birds or little animals in our yards due to all the cats and the one dog my family had. Recently though, misfortune has pretty much fallen on all our pets this year, and the only one left living is my Leopard Gecko, Lotus. There is a plus to this though, for it means that cute fuzzy little animals now flock our yards, especially since we leave seed and nuts out for them.

There is now a squirrel living somewhere near our house, and he frequents our yard, taking the yummy treats we leave for him. Never really having anything but the occasional robin, we are all quite enamored with it. Almost obsessively so. In fact I took a several videos of this squirrel taking the nuts we had left for him on the fence, and then burying them. Here is one of them.

I will not be upset if you stop watching it after only thirty seconds.

Anyway, there has been some...debate over what to name this new squirrel. (My family names everything. From inanimate objects, to spiders that spin webs on a flower boxes. The most memorable being Dave, the cat spider who lived in a window box on the back patio.) Most of the debate is between my sister, KatySue, and I. She says Stanly, but I say Charlie. It is not that I mind the name Stanly. In fact, if the squirrel was a red squirrel, Stanly would be a perfect name.  

I thought it would be fun to post the poll. I highly doubt this will change anything. If it ends up that the most popular name is not Charlie, I will still call the squirrel Charlie. Anyway, I have most of the household calling the squirrel Charlie, the poll is purely for entertainment purposes.
