See my chipmunk? He's lucky to be alive. He jumped from the deck railing trying to land on one of my bird feeders in the trees. Once he jumped, he was only able to grasp the very ends of the perch with his front paws, did a somersault and then fell 2 stories to the ground. SPLAT! Horrified and half crying (yeah, you all know what a softie I am)- I go running down and find him. Here he is looking around. He chirped at me and went on his merry way. Yep, he's indestructible!
P.S. I had several essays to write for school this week and a job interview that I think went well. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I'll be over to visit you soon!
What a little acrobat! Cute picture. I'm glad he was OK. Good luck with your interview, Shelley! I'll think good thoughts and send them your way. :)

I hate to admit this...but I got so frustrated because I have so many chippies eating my birdseed all up..that about 3 weeks ago, one was in there (again!) and I grabbed it by the tail and threw it off my deck.
ReplyDeleteNot to fear, tho..he just did the same thing...kind of shook his body like saying: What the heck was THAT? and ran off...it didn't deter him..he's back eating all the seed again..the little rodent! ha
I am sure you nailed the interview..who could NOT hire someone so nice and with such personality and sincerity? I guarantee you, you nailed it and you will get the job. Let us know when you do, ok?
Chip would be eternally grateful if you installed a trampoline out there.
ReplyDeleteHoping to hear good news from you about all your hard work paying off for you . ;)
We just got home from a vacation in Montana's Glacier National Park and I swear I became the Marmot Whisperer while I was there!!! Everywhere I was, one of those buggers was hanging around me! Ha Ha!

Great photo! Good luck with the essays and the interview.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best with your job interview and papers to write. You certainly captured a cute picture of this tough little guy. Maybe he did it all as a show for you, since he heard about how good of a photographer you were...maybe:)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Monica and Kim xo
They indeed do seem to be indestructible
ReplyDeletevery very cute though (o:
Wow, he's a tough little fella, isn't he? He's SO cute! I would be a softie too, Shelley!
ReplyDeleteHope the job works out for you too!
Have a great day!

They bounce really well! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have one that comes up on our front porch to say "Hi" to our 2 younger cats, who nearly go through the window to try to get to him...it is so entertaining. Hope the interview went well!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I like this photo shoot..
ReplyDeleteLove the chipmunk also :))
I hope all is well. I know summer is a busy time. What a story about this cute little guy. I'm glad he was okay.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hi Shelley, It's been a while since I got time to stop by...
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks great and I missed coming here. :)
I am glad that your little chippy survived the fall without a scratch!!
Good luck on the job ;-) I just started a new one myself. It feels great!!
