Sorry Jordan, this could get boring. I have had an on-going love hate relationship with the squirrels in my yard. They mostly live in my neighbors attic. I feed them which grates my neighbor. I am learning though. The squirrels have become good little zealots at coming after the food. They have seemingly watched my cats and have now learned to push my screen door open and walk into my kitchen. No, I don't like that much. I managed to curtail their bulb eating action to some degree. I roll them in red pepper, and put human hair on top. I also watch my neighbors yards in the spring to see my $5.00 Iris's growing beautifully in their garden or yard where some squirrel transplanted them. In the Spring, they eat my tulips right when they bloom their flower. Sorry Steve, even with daffodils in front of them. They love red and deep purple tulips. But I was told that if you plant pastel tulips, they won't eat them. So far so good. Then there are the crows or black birds. I am not sure what they are. They are huge, and very loud. I feed them too and when I don't get the food out there quick enough, they squawk to major irritation. I also have a passel of dogs living around me that seem to hold choir practice regularly. My neighbor has huskies that howl when she is not home. They start the chorus and the rest of the dogs around me follow. Some days I think it's funny, others I'd like to muzzle them all. Then there's the pitbull that lives next door that likes to jump the fence and run through my house chasing my cat. Not too keen on that action. He is really just a big baby dog though just looking for fun. And I don't like stray cats. They are mean to my babies and they spray on my house which drives me crazy. But trying to leash a cat? You would have to train them from kitties. My cats would have absolutely no part of that. That's my little inner-city animal world. Have a great day everyone.
