Is that to get you attention first, Darks?
Hi there!!!

They usually already have my attention, usually it's because the object needing the mallet is already hopelessly messed up.. and tisn't me.
Heading off toward the call of the munchies..
Sounds like a plan.
The wife would have to have a remote for the remote, cuz hubby always has it.
As near as I kin tell, no way ta make that remote hit 'em ifn he has control of it...
;~)
I think she will need a remote for the remote.
Good enough!
LOL
It's the only one other than inability that I could think of. :)
You're alright with us, Amy!
Squirrel Steals Yellow Ribbons From Tree, June 29, 2004
BETTENDORF, Iowa - A couple has finally discovered what was happening to the yellow ribbons they were tying to the trees in their yard in support of their son and other troops in Iraq.
"The ribbons started to disappear. Every time it disappeared, I would hang a new one," said Bob Saskowski, who tied the ribbons with his wife, Alexis.
It went on for eight months. The last straw was when three ribbons disappeared in three days.
So Bob Saskowski appealed to his neighbors through a memo, asking them to talk to their teenagers about respect and patriotism and asked for their help.
"It indicated I needed their eyes to help them watch the trees," he said.
Neighbors responded by adding yellow ribbons to the trees in their yards.
"My husband and I were ticked," said neighbor Patty Kenyon. "And we all decided if this person was going to pick on Bob, they can pick on all of us. And we literally put ribbons up and down the street."
The ribbons kept disappearing, but only from the Saskowski yard.
"We thought someone had a vengeance against us, personally, because no one else's ribbons in the neighborhood was disappearing," Saskowski said.
Finally, the couple set up a video camera, focused on the yard. Six weeks later, they caught the culprit on tape. The ribbon was being shimmied slowly down the trunk.
At the base, the squirrel pushing the ribbon, bit through the ribbon and took off with it.
"We can laugh now," Saskowski said. "Before, it was not funny."
He says the squirrel was actually a good thing.
"And I named him Patriot because he brought our neighborhood together," Saskowski said.
Hi, Jen! : )
: )
Thank you for sharing that cute story.
I know that squirrels steal artifical flowers from cemeteries. It never occurred to me that they would take ribbons off of trees.
Those images are great.
I'm not sure what's up with his sleeping position. :)
LOL Uh.....what's up with your camera angle? : )
That is STILL a weird way to sleep.
About as comfortable as falling asleep in a tree.
*ugh*
*grin*
He tries to find a very small place to sleep. Must be because he was from a litter of 9. He likes to feel crowded.
LOL!
I'll be back. doll. : )
Weird.
True, he must like the feeling of being bunched together and 'cuddled' in.
