Lyra, do you know how much this says about you and your goals for life? SO much! How pleased I was to see this here today! And how cornfused that poor little Chippiemunk must be! Give her some extra grain from me! |

A few years ago, I wrote an instrumental piece for the guitar----"Dance of the Chipmunks"----I'll never be able to play it again without thinking about you and your furry little friends! tee-hee! Earth Angel |

Thanks so much, Mike Squirrel... I don't think she's trying to ease him away... I think she has the hots for him also... afterall, it is mating season. She just can't understand why he watches her all the time but doesn't respond. Believe it or not, This chipmunk lives in our front yard... Her burrow is right under our privacy fence; and one day we heard her chipping really loud and as we looked out the window...this is what we saw.  ~ hugs to a fellow rodentLyra |

Thanks Karilea... I will give her some extra corn for you... She lives under the privacy fence in our front yard, and we've been feeding her. I can't believe I actually got this photo! I took it through a slot in the window blinds... She was just chipping away, standing on that sundial... loudly scolding that stone chipmunk. We've been watching her and she jumps up on the sundial and drinks out of the puddle in the center which is always there because of the sprinkler system. I don't understand the part about my goals in life... I really don't need to flirt with that stony guy... I am a married chipmunk... Please explain if you will... I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. ~ hugs from a chipmunk of a different stripeLyra |

Thanks so much, Marti... I'm glad you enjoyed... This is our pet chipmunk and the picture was taken through the window blinds... We've been feeding her every day so that she won't have to go hunting for her food and that way, we can keep her here... I would say that she has herself a pretty good deal... wouldn't you? ~ hugs from Lyra the chipmunkLyra |

Thanks Nancy... I still can't believe that picture came out! We heard her there and it was early in the morning, so we peeked through the blinds, and not wanting to wake her... I just snapped the photo through one of the slats. ~ hugs from a mama chipmunkLyra |

Thanks so much, Noah... It was so funny to see that chipmunk up there on that sundial, talking to the stone chipmunk that I knew it would eventually turn into a poem...  ~ hugs from an agile chipmunkLyra |

I'm so glad it made you giggle, Michael... Her name is Charlie... she told us that... and we've been feeding her so that she won't have to go far to get her food... We want to keep her with us. She lives under our privacy fence... I just could not believe it when I saw her scolding that stone chipmunk... She probably thinks he is stealing the water from her puddle... ~ hugs from a chipmunk of a different stripeLyra |

Thanks so much, Paul... I couldn't even believe I got that picture... I took it through a slat in the window blinds because I didn't want to scare the chipmunk away. She was just sitting up there and chipping away angrily at that stone chipmunk. I think she was probably trying to get his attention... thats what sparked the poem. ~ hugs from a temporarily lame chipmunkLyra |

Thanks Paladin...LOL... I guess you must be right about love being truly blind. I thought it was amazing that this chipmunk actually recognized the little stone one as being another chipmunk at all! ~ hugs from real live chipmunkLyra |

Thanks Ruth... I should've gotten it on video then I could've sent it to that TV program that has the funny animal videos... We've been feeding that chipmunk every day, in hopes that she'll stay with us... Her burrow is under our privacy fence...  ~ still laughing hugsLyra |
