These little striped guys may look like chipmunks (and they do, don't they?) but they are definitely classified as squirrels - and they are protected by the government. (Technically, though, even in other countries chipmunks ARE squirrels but.....we don't think of them that way.)squirrelmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548231442538906709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-53665929943939021922012-02-22T19:26:15.714-05:002012-02-22T19:26:15.714-05:00The image on this page is a chipmunk, not a squirr...The image on this page is a chipmunk, not a squirrel?

I like the fact that the squirrel was so unself-conscious about being photographed by a human, just going on about its business. You are lucky to have such beautiful creatures gracing your property back home!squirrelmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548231442538906709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-52035518593954878182008-05-22T04:16:00.000-04:002008-05-22T04:16:00.000-04:00That's a lovely blog.

I love them all - I haven't told you this, but I have pictures of squirrels, chipmunks and groundhogs (our prairie dog) up in my bedroom - right between Jesus and Mary!

But I have some friends out West who do prairie dog rescue and relocation and they tell me this isn't really the case. In fact, I seem to recall National Wildlife Federation magazine about a year ago doing a story about ranchers whose properties are prairie dog friendly places. How neat is that!squirrelmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548231442538906709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-40238258224159356142008-05-12T23:14:00.000-04:002008-05-12T23:14:00.000-04:00The problem with praire dogs is that the holes the...The problem with praire dogs is that the holes they dig break the legs of horses and cattle.ppjakaJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232495007429895581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-27955375075024588192008-05-12T09:53:00.000-04:002008-05-12T09:53:00.000-04:00that is a great story..i have a video on my myspac...that is a great story..<BR/><BR/>i have a video on my myspace of a few little dudes i met:)<BR/><BR/>they were so cute...<BR/><BR/>www.myspace.com/joebarilla<BR/><BR/>bestJoeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797350033948140235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-72255625328568307422008-05-11T12:07:00.000-04:002008-05-11T12:07:00.000-04:00It is one of the more beautiful legends I have eve...It is one of the more beautiful legends I have ever heard - and am so glad I finally have the opportunity to share it here. I will look around on my older computer where I still have photos stored. My friend Arul took pictures of the sacred squirrels on his terrace in India, where he will be living until his return to the States in November.squirrelmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548231442538906709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471872429544468461.post-69736316439367833392008-05-11T11:59:00.000-04:002008-05-11T11:59:00.000-04:00Very interesting.
