I Like Watching Squirrels Outside

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5CJHajjhzk]
I know that a lot of people hate it when squirrels come along and eat the pumpkins that they went to so much trouble to carve. But we usually get around that by waiting until just before Halloween to carve our pumpkins. This minimizes the chances of our pumpkins getting ruined by the squirrels before Halloween. Then, after Halloween, I don't care what happens to those pumpkins. It's not like we're going to reuse them next year. We're just going to throw them onto the compost pile. So after Halloween is over, the squirrels can have them, as far as I'm concerned. They may as well get a good meal out of them before winter takes hold.

And wouldn't it be a nice added bonus if a squirrel actually carved your pumpkin for you? I found this funny video of a squirrel carving a pumpkin for someone. How do you think this lady got this squirrel to carve her pumpkin for her?

Squirrels are quite smart. There was a guy who made challenging obstacle course for squirrels to navigate and get the nuts. They figured out every one.

And yet they still run out in front of cars. Makes you wonder.

Yes it does. I remember those Geico commercials, with the squirrels running out in front of the car and causing the driver to get into an accident. And several years ago, I remember seeing lots of dead squirrels in the street. It almost seems as though they like to live dangerously.
