Oops!

My animal of the day.... This little squirrel somehow got onto our roof--since we have no trees close enough to the house for him to jump from, I am still at a loss how he managed it. He was really worried about getting down. Kept judging the distance from the gutter to the Japanese maple (about 20' to a strong branch) and chattering up a storm. I finally gave up and left him to his predicament. At least he wasn't in the bird feeder!

    lol. You pic is so funny and brought back such a memory I have while growing up my brother would always get me to climbs trees. The problem was I was deathly afraid to get down. I think I must have looked alot like that chipmunk. ~Jackie

    Poor little guy! And they an sure chatter loudly! I bet he had "boasting" stories to tell his fellow squirrel buddies at the end of the day.
