That cute little fellow reminds me that about 35 years ago, my ex-husband and I had a chipmunk living in a hole in the front yard of our townhouse. We made a line of sunflower seeds to the step where we sat with seeds in out hands. Eventually he ate out of our hands if we stayed perfectly still. One little move and he flew away. Well, he wouldn't actually eat. He just stuffed those seeds in his mouth, scampered down his hole, must have spit them out and was back in a flash for more. My ex always thought he had a little sunflower seed concession stand down there and was making a mint off our donations. We once counted that he held 54 seeds in his cheeks at one time.
When we moved, we bought a 55 pound bag of seeds and left them for the next tenant.
I'm 70 years old going on twelve or sometimes 6, it depends on the day. Then again, sometimes I feel like I'm 110. I'm agoraphobic, permanently disabled. I live an odd life, but a relatively happy one. I have two cats, Merlin and Melissa. They are brother and sister and therefore known (it's a joke) as The Twins. They were 3 years old on May 7th.

So cute!!!!
Is that a chipmunk? It looks like some that have invaded England and been attacking people!
It does look cute though.
you get the best visitors!!
How adorable and what great photos you got!
We have them all around our house. They love being underneath the basketball goal. They even climb trees to get to the bird feeders!
It looks like your little friend found some good fiber for his diet!
You got some really cute photos!
I've always loved these little guys. Growing up they lived around our cellar house in the summer.
So cute! I never see chipmunks around here. Glad you shared.
Pretty darned cute!!!
How's your kitchen coming? Have you started work yet?
Great photos.

What delightful photos. We don't get cute little guys like that at our place, the cats see to that.
Fantastic!
