Oh! What a Shock!
Boom! Squirry landed with a stunning shock!
Apologies for the 14 photos, but I have to tell the story as it happened.
Little Troy was going bos, barking at the study window early this morning and I decided to have a look at his troubles.
The sun had just cleared the mountain ridge and I saw the reason for Troy's dementia. "Squirry"
You will have to read the story to understand how this happened!
A bucket of worms, but where did he get the nut?
Read the story!
This is our worm feeder for the Robins and they feed their baby from here!
But this morning there was somebody else in the feeder! Squirry!
Of course Mrs. Squirry was watching the action from the side.
Here you can see both of them after Squirry was done with Marian!
Marian offered Squirry some worms, but he had another idea, as he saw me at the study window!
And so he popped over to plead for some peanuts!
This is his cute "pretty please" show!
Boom, bang, two hops and he was back on Marian's back!
Now which squirrel would want stupid meal worms if they had nuts?
So, surprisingly Squirry flips upside down, like he does on the tree trunks!
And Hey! There he hangs, eating his nuts!
Mrs. Squirry sat in a flower pot watching her husband's reckless abandon!
And that's all Folks!
Of course Marian cannot stop talking about her wonderful experience and it was indeed a great occasion for a photo shoot. A happening that is certainly not witnessed every day in normal life and I had to cut my work short to show you this.
For those that do not know Troy, our giant guard dog, here he is below!
Now I have to convince Marian to do this again, so that I can make a video to show all of you the real action. We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures!

What a wonderful experience. And yes, let us see the video should there be the next similar experience. Thank you so much for your time sharing this with us. Lovely! ❤️
Thank you for the kind interest my friend.
Be assured that if there is a next time I will get it on video.
Glad that you enjoyed the post.
Blessings!
That is quite amazing that he feel so comfortable to be hanging out on marian's back - pretty soon you could have him sitting in your lap, stroking him!
So if there is a Mr and a Mrs I wonder where the babies are?
You two are having way to much fun with your wildlife in the yard!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and some great observations here my friend.
We won't touch them as they will be rejected if there are any human smells on them.
There is a huge palm tree near our front door and their regular trips up and down on the trunk has convinced me that their nest is up there somewhere.
But of course it is too dense at the head of the tree to see anything.
I keep an eye on the tree and maybe one of these days some small ones will start to appear.
We have a small yard, but it's alive with action and a real blessing.
Hope that you have a good Friday!
Blessings!
How adorable they are... So cute as well...
Thank you my dear friend.
They are amazing little critters and so full of life.
Blessings!

@papilloncharity wow that cute squirrel ... did you adopt it from a baby?
And all the great guesses are there:)
Hi stranger how have you been?
No we didn't adopt him, as he is a wild squirrel
We moved in here about 2 months ago and found them here.
Or rather, they found us here hahaha.
Blessings!
Ha ha, now Mr Squirry has a new girlfriend in town who feeds and pampers him, hope you keep on his good side Stephen!
Oh I do Lady Lady Joan, he does indeed have more of an eye for Marian, but I am happy to play the background role. Lucky for Squirry is that his wife is not jealous hahaha
Blessings!
Squirry is so cute and funny:)
That he is Sir George, a real lively little creature!
Blessings and thank you!
hello, what a squirrel beauty, here you have to go to the mountain and if you are lucky, you still see it at the top of the tree. She looks happy, I would be happy too.

Hello my friend. I think that the previous owner of this property used to feed them and we are so lucky to have them here.
Of course we will continue to keep them happy.
Blessings!

Such a fun post
A great experience indeed my friend.
I think that we will still have a lot of fun with the cheeky critters.
Oh, and I love to get people to smile to lighten their load a little.
Blessings!
Ohh yes I a sure you will have lots of fun with them, and i think animals often have an inbuilt sense of the quality of people and they clearly know you and Marion are such good people and thats why they are so friendly with you
