Stumpy came by for a visit. I have not seen her since Father's Day. Before that, she visited on Mother’s Day. I do not know where she has been but I hope she is finding food and is happy.
I gave her some nuts, sunflower seeds and chunks of apple. Every time I think she is gone for good, she stops by to say Hello. I was emotional and cried.
I’m so glad she came back and visited you! The folks I were living with put down their feet and said we can’t feed the squirrels anymore because they attract rats. At one time I was feeding crows and had 32 show up at once. That was so much fun.
@prettycheeses Out of all the squirrels that come and go, Stumpy is my favorite and I would give her special treats of pecans and cashews and extra sunflower seeds. She trusted me and would visit every day. The other squirrels would sometimes pick on her but I tried to protect her as she was so trusting. She has been visiting since 2022... a long time! There were other squirrels I named but they were only here for one summer, then gone. I do not know if Stumpy had babies to attend to or where she has been going instead of our yard? But I am always happy to see her. :)
@ludwigsdiana@robz Thank you for the compliments on the glass feeder bowls. I have two of them that I fill with sunflower seeds for the squirrels, hoping they leave the bird feeders alone...so far so good. But then, they chewed through our string lights along the fence. It is always something. :)
Many thanks. I do not know where she has been living/staying/visiting or if she has been taking care of babies? I have only seen her once in May, once in June and once in July. But she used to be here every single day. Katniss has been inside the house more so Stumpy should feel safe. There are other squirrels hanging out in the yard but Stumpy is my favorite. I would feed her pecans, cashews and other treats only to her. I put sunflower seeds in the glass bowls for any squirrel.
@dailypix Thank you for your sweet comment. She has been a visitor since 2022 but when I do not see her for a month, I think something has happened to her. Stumpy used to come to our yard daily until May.
