Peekaboo

A visitor appeared at the bathroom window this morning while I was getting ready for work. 



This tiny little squirrel was probably one of this fall's babies. It showed no fear whatsoever as I snapped a few pictures. We gently shooed it away and closed the window. The last thing that needs to happen is for George to notice a young squirrel hanging around!

  1. Given the chance, he'd have come into your house.

    1. There's no screen on that window, so we had to shoo him away and close it! Can you imagine if he had gotten in the house, and then George saw him....whew!

  5. My little Bouvier comes up the bricks to my window sill if Im not out on time for the peanut handout.

    But this one must be a peeping tom.

  6. My dog Oscar would go ballistic - squirrels are his nemesis. Cute though.

    1. Some dogs are crazier over squirrels than others! George mostly ignores squirrels, but if one came in the house......chaos would ensue!!!

  10. How did you know it was a young one? Was it smaller than adult ones?
    I have read in the magazine of a nature and animal protection organisation that squirrels will indeed approach a human when they are in need of help. In your case, I hope the little lad is fine and was not looking to make contact out of necessity.

    1. There are three young squirrels and a mama squirrel that we've been seeing in the back yard. We're pretty sure this was one of them, and yes, it was a little smaller than a full grown adult. We've been feeding the mama and her babies walnuts sometimes (not at the bathroom window, though!) so I think it was just curious and felt comfortable peeking in on us. :)
