I think they're so cute and very smart, BUT they can be little stinkers!!!! Some can be very destructive and just downright naughty!!

I thought you might like to see a couple of pics I found online! :lol:

Oh, and by the way watch out for those cute little chipmunks!!! Talk about destructive!!!!! Those little buggers can be a real menace!! I used to feed peanuts (in the shells) to the squirrels and bluejays. Well, the chipmunks qould also feast on them -- or so I thought!!! One of the little critters crawled through my dryer vent and piled up peanuts under the drum of the dryer!!! I couldn't figure out why my clothes were very warm but very moist! Called a repairman, and he asked my ex-husband for a little container. Stange request he thougt, but he got a container. The repairman started filling the container with PEANUTS!!!!! The pile had gotten so tall that it had stopped the drum from turning!!!!!!!! First thing I did was put a screen on the exterior dryer vent and then immediately STOPPED feeding anyone peanuts! I then got a live trap, caught about 20 in one summer and took them off to the woods near a community college! At least they could get a college education and maybe give up their criminal way!! Ph, and the charge for the "repair"????? About $125!!!!!!!!! :shock: :evil:
