The further adventures of Mikey the chipmunk....

Nope--we haven't purchased poisoned peanuts. LOL NOT that the Brit hasn't tried to 'gingerly' approach that being a possibile solution to what he sees as a problem.

PROBLEM!??!
I don't see any problem here. :-)

So we're sitting on the patio, late evening cuz that's the only time himself can join me without inducing some sort of asthma attack from the humidity.

Over scurried Mikey to the vacinity of the birdie feeder--which met with my happy:
"Helloooooo Mikey!!"
Oh....and his frown....he can be such a grumpy Brit!

Himself went on about poor litle Mikey digging in the flower garden and how we've tried some garlic/dried blood mix which was completely ignored and how we've hug bags of crystalized fox urine (yep......fox urine--we couldn't locate coyote so I went for the next best thing! LOL)...and still we have Mikey the chipmunk returning for his evening meal.

"Well, HELLO.....he's INVITED, dontchaknow!"

That only brought me more grumbles--he's sooooooooooooo cranky sometimes! *rolling eyes*

And that's when I had to slump down IN the chair while I tried hard NOT to laugh--- cuz I'm thinking I'm gonna get in HUGE trouble. Yep....there under the tree was a second chipmunk. Which I just HAD to point out, elsewise himself was gonna think I'd finally lost it completely!

He slumped, but for different reasons I'm thinkin.......
And the pointed at me and told me "No. Don't do it. I know what you're thinking......."

"MIKAELAH!!" I shot straight up in the chair and waved and pointed....... "LOOK, honey..........Mikey has a girlfriend!!"

"No. ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"Helllloooooooo Mikaelah!!"

"This will never do........you've named her already......"

"Uh huh.......Honey....did you meet Mikaelah? Mikaelah, meet the 'happy to see Mikey has a girlfriend' Brit!!" (*snicker* ........if you name 'em, they become personal in their relationship to you, dontchaknow! HE knows that....that's what I'm thinkin' he was hoping to avoid.)

Mikey hasn't been in his home watching television and eating popcorn all this time!!
He's got a girlfriend!!!

Himself is not discussing the possibility of relocations via a trap (which is what his next plot is because poisoning Mikey OR Mikaelah is out of the question!).
I say the fox urine is doing it's job.

Yesterday Mikey had a hole in the garden--and he came up within ten inches of that lovely fox urine packet.
Today the hole is mysteriously covered up---gone.......
Now, I checked with himself and he's assured me he didn't cover the hole--he left it as he was 'instructed'.
Which means...............I'm thinking Mikey didn't want some fox crawling in the hole behind him so HE covered it up. *nodding* Mikey's smart like that!
Hey........If I opened my door to fox urine, I'd close the darn door too!

The Brit STILL wants to talk relocation for Mikey AND Mikaelah.
Something about....oh..... 'not believing that Mikey truly IS watching television and eating popcorn at night'..... and questions about 'how many babies chipmunks can have in one go' is driving his brain, apparently.

Mikey wouldn't do that!!
He's a gentleman and a scholar!
They're SHARING the popcorn while they watch television! I'm sure of it!!
