My critters

THIS MORNING I HAD 3 BUNNIES.. EATING BIRDSEED AND BREAD. THATS THE MOST I EVER HAD AT ONE TIME. THEY DON'T GET ALONG THOUGH. THEY SEEM TO BE TERRITORIAL. THE LITTLE FEMALE I TAMED WAS THERE AND SHE NEVER RUNS FROM ME. THE OTHER TWO WERE AFRAID AND JUST A BIT NASTY TOWARDS HER. SHE IS SO GENTLE AND COMES WHEN SHE HEARS MY VOICE.

I ALSO HAVE A NEW CRITTER..A SMALL FIELD MOUSE THAT COMES EVERY MORNING. IT IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS SKIPPING SOOOOOOOOOO... I NAMED IT SKIPPY!

IT RUNS EVERYTIME IT HEARS A NOISE..TOO CUTE. EVERYDAY IT IS FUN JUST TO SEE WHO SHOWS UP. MY CATS LOVE SITTING IN FRONT OF THE PICTURE WINDOW WATCHING ALL THE ANTICS. LAST NIGHT A SKUNK DID SOME DIGGING..BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT FOR A WHILE.

<font size="3"><font color="teal">Apple I think we are so lucky to be able to watch the animals. We have another new family of Raccoons turn up. Last night it was just getting dark and one of the regulars who had not brought her Kits here yet turned up with 5 tiny ones.



They were much smaller than Gracies Hoover Gang II. very timid and run and hide when we came on the deck. Even Mom is not like Grace who acts like she owns the place.



Her kits are growning fast and three of them were on the deck yesterday morning when our two male cats who were in the garden wanted to get on the deck and the Kits started growling at the cats who stopped dead in their tracks.



It was so funny and I had to go out to tell the Kits to stop it and get my cats in the house. [img]images/smiley_icons/jiving.gif[/img] Little bandits are becoming just like their Mom,think they own the place.



DH is sure we have one or two skunks living under the front deck,he says he keeps filling in holes round the trellis which is around the bottom of the deck. We smell them often enough.



Lots of tiny baby squirrils around now and they are jumpy. The adults are not and come on the deck and one jumps on the mesh on the back storm door. Its a gray one and the only one who is cheeky enough no matter how often I shout at him to get off.
