one of the squirrels

This guy swipes and hooks with his claws the peanuts from my fingertips. That's how sharp those claws on a squirrel are. He's a very pushy little critter who can't wait for me to put the peanuts in the bark.

Yeah they are sharp! When I was a kid grandpa had one that would crawl up him & sit on his head & eat peanuts. My cousin & I thought it'd be funny to scare him. Got into our firecracker stash & lit one off. Yup! you guessed it! Grounded for 2 months! Worth it! Can still see grandpas bald head looking like something out of a horror movie.

I see you're in Colorado. You'll find they're cute as hell until they decide they like the taste of your house wiring insulation.

About the time they hit the wiring just remember, fried squirrel tastes great. They are cute as can be till they eat a hole through your back pack or burn your house down because the wiring shorted out where they ate through it................they are Still cute....................63bkpkr

Looks like he was digging in the mud with his nose.
