Squirrel!

Donna's favorite love-to-hate animal: thief of bird food, despoiler of porch railings.

Beautiful? Yes. But also a nasty little bugger when it comes to the maintenance of bird feeders. Have teeth; will comp anything.

All the same: cute, frisky, clever; was evil ever so adorable?

Here is a photo of a squirrel stalking the fallen birdseed. Although it looks more like he’s trying to hide from Donna while he scopes out the joint.

Sly but cute, a squirrel considers his options: Stealing the bird food, or harassing the dog? Tough choices.
