Rocky vs Alvin



Dear world,
This is an update to my post about the squirrel chair. The chair has caused daily drama in my yard. Rocky the squirrel was perfectly happy nibbling at the corn on the chair. Dad would replace the corn every few days or so. Then we started having to replace the corn at least daily. Well, this week we discovered why. Alvin the chipmunk appeared. Don't know how such a little guy can eat so much! Well, Rocky is not real happy with Alvin around. Alvin and the chipmunks go to get the corn when Rocky & friends aren't around. But Alvin even goes when Rocky is there. So Rocky has started sitting in the chair to protect his corn. But that doesn't stop Alvin. He just waits till Rocky gets off and is not looking. Sometimes Rocky sees him and yells at him and Alvin scoots. Other times, Alvin just goes on the chair himself and climbs on the corn! I'm not sure who to root for. What do you think? Alvin or Rocky?
Love always,
Bear

  1. I'm rooting for having 2 chairs instead of one. Those 2 must be asking themselves: "who placed this restaurant here with only one chair?".

  2. We vote for Alvin. We like the little guy. That squirrel looks like he's quite well fed already.

  5. LOL - that is so funny. Those little chippies can really stash awway the food. They go thru a "tube' of sunflower seeds here a day. Dat's a lot of food. M thinks he is hiding it under our Patio! D hopes not cuz we'll get cracks in the padio!!

  8. Your pals Rocky and Alvin are sooo cute!
    At our house, we have two feeders, one for the squirrels and one for the chipmunks. We have a third feeder for the birds. But being a Schnauzer, I love to chase squirrels and chipmunks, so mom makes sure they're well fed.
