Squirrels again

We think that maybe they were siblings abandoned by a mother, and that's why they came after us.  Later, one of them enjoyed cookies, and curled up in Shannon's scarf under our blue spruce tree.

 

This morning, before Aaron left for school, we went out to feed them some hamster and gerbil food.  Shannon spied Chip still curled up in her scarf, but unfortunately, we couldn't see Dale.  Maybe it died?  Anyway, Chip came out and greeted us and made his cute call.  It wouldn't eat the gerbil food, but it ate more cookie.  So Christopher went and got some graham crackers.  It ate that too!  So at least this one is thriving. 

 

It is really raining today, so we'll check on Chip later.  How fun!  A pet without the work.
