A friend told us tonight that his Easter egg hunt this morning failed. Squirrels had a 2-hour head start at finding the plastic eggs with chocolates inside, and devoured the lot.
The play-money auction also failed, because the girls printed themselves more money than the boys did.
Let's hope that squirrel didn't get sick. I'm not sure what effect all that sugar would have on its system.
ReplyDeleteI often put bread and cookie crumbs on the back patio steps for the birds, and the squirrels are constantly checking them out. A few years ago I brought some cake from a party at work home for my wife; she didn't like the thick too-sweet icing and scraped it off, so I placed it on the step. It disappeared quickly and, when I informed my wife, she said "Oh great! You've given some squirrel diabetes!" I mentioned this whole affair to a co-worker who suggested that I "would have to go out every day and give that squirrel its little insulin shot."
