2015 January 30: When I first saw this squirrel sunning on my deck I thought "Awww ...How cute!" ...until I realized that he was chewing the plastic off one of the Christmas lights that I leave on my deck year round!
He clinched the bulb firmly as he ran off, so I was not able to recover it; but at least my lights still work. I suppose that he will end up burying it somewhere.
