Sarah, how is Nicky doing? Hope he's all healed!

..

Nicky is sooooooooo spoiled. I know I'm not Sarah - but couldn't help saying that. He and Peaches met briefly through the car door the other day. One of these days I'll take her down to visit and see if they will play together. Peaches loves playing and I think Nicky will be fine with her. There is a spot in Sarah's fence that Peaches could get out - so I'll have to be very diligent, though. Maybe set something against that while we're there.

Sarah brings Nicky for the ride most times they come up the mountain. He's such a sweetie.

Awww, Nicky you look beautiful all clean and fresh-smelling. Roe understands perfectly about those chipmunks. He's looking forward to helping you with that chore.

Dear Nicky,

You are an awfully handsome fellow. Do you want to go out sometime?
What's a chipmunk? I don't think we have those around here.
Are they tasty?

Love,
Abby

...and they have their runs timed to get in their holes seconds ahead

For whatever reason in Illinois where I grew up, we called them ground squirrels.

..

My Mommy told me that my deceased sister (another Bichon) used to hunt and catch chipmunks up in northern Illinois.
But I've never seen one.

Mommy also said that her kayaking guide in Palau referred to certain animals on the uninhabited islands where she slept as "smooth tailed ground squirrels". Mommy said they were just plain, ol' rats and she made sure the food was tightly locked up!

Sincerely,
Abby

PS: The groomer cut my arse with scissors today. I'm not feeling very well. I asked Mommy to kiss it and make it better. She told me I was out of m mind.

..

No arse kissing at this house either Will an air kiss work. Sending one

I think our equivalent to a chipmunks is a gopher...and they are Radar's nemesis too...a long with the squirrels in the yard (darn black walnut trees) . We have scratches on inside of the patio door to prove it.

I've never seen an albino chipmunk...awesome!

One of my puppies, Trent, just loves to chase squirrels. He goes crazy whenever he sees one outside. It's a wonder they continue to come in the backyard. The weather has bee nice lately, since the rain helped cut down the pollen, so I have kept the sliding door open. The puppies have charged through the screen door so many times that I just stapled up some screen, instead of buying a new door. I just keep a baby gate in front of it. Anyway, today I left the baby gate off, waiting for one puppy to come in and a squirrel came in instead. What an ordeal! That little sucker didn't stand a chance. Trent chased him all over the house (Good thing the bedroom doors were closed) scream barking the whole time. You would think he was the one that was caught. Trent finally chased him out, with the two other puppies following. The squirrel was not hurt, just scared and disoriented. Bet he won't be visiting anytime soon. Linda

What fun that must have been!!!
