See that cute little squirrel? See that he is eating something? That something that he is eating is orange in color. Notice that the pumpkin is orange. The squirrel IS EATING MY PUMPKIN! The nerve of him! We have had Jack-O-Lanterns on the front porch for years, and I have always kept them lit for at least a week after Halloween, and have never had one vandalized. This guy came along and broke one of the teeth out of the pumpkins mouth, and was eating it! So I brought the pumpkin inside, and now I only put it out at night when it is lit. Please click on the image to see it in more detail.
But he is so cute and you got a great photo. Sorry he attacked your pumpkin.

share your darn pumpkin with the squirrel for pity sake. all you want to do is put a candle in it. the squirrel wants t use it the way pumpkins were meant to be used - for food!
ReplyDeleteISN'T THE PUMPKIN GOING TO ROT ANYWAY? LET THE LITTLE GUY HAVE A TREAT.
ReplyDeletei would like to see a pic of the toothless pumpkin.. :)
ReplyDeleteThe quirrel might have improved the look of the pumpkin. I'd like to see how much damage was actually done. Would we even know? A nature lover you're not!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Poor little squirrel probably had all his buried winter stash washed away... :(
ReplyDeleteTry hairspray, keeps them at bay.
