A little over a week ago we told y'all about the pretty little pumpkin that I carved and about how the squirrels decided that they needed to eat it. Well, here is a picture of it before...Like I mentioned earlier ... it only took the squirrels about a day to find the pumpkin and start eating on it. One day we came home to find the stem down on the steps to the house, about 10 feet away from the main part, then later that night, we caught the squirrel carrying the stem up into the tree... Here is a picture of that. You can barely see it, but it is in the Y of the tree.
Those little suckers are strong for their size. We decided to just let them have at it. When we went to Manitou Springs over the weekend we wondered how much of the pumpkin would be left when we returned. We came home to a half eaten pumpkin. It was dragged out to on the sidewalk. We were home for little over an hour before we caught some of our little friends getting their fill... Since it is getting close to real winter here, we decided to let them just eat as much as they can so their bellies will be nice and full! By the way - you can click on the any of the pictures in this blog and it will bring up a bigger picture so that you can see all the details... Like in the picture below you can see that the squirrel has a little piece of pumkin in his "hand" and has is mouth wide open.
