There are days when all of the little creatures that surround me seem to use their powers for evil. Take Skittles, for example. We have precious little closet space, so I tend to use baskets to store things. While washing all of the towels (which are usually rolled up to fit nicely in the basket) Skittles decided to take a cat nap in this empty basket. After the towels were dry and put back in, he thought it was a lovely idea just to sleep on the towels. I'd take him out, he'd go back in. This battle of wills lasted for a few days until I decided to just take the towels out and give him a little fleece of his own. He looks very content knowing he won this bout, doesn't he?
I also have a constant battle with the woodland creatures. Sometimes I don't know if it is the deer, the squirrels or the chipmunks who do the most damage. I think they feel that I am their personal sous chef and that everything I grow or bring home is for their own personal buffet. 
Look at what they did to my poor pumpkin! An Autumn feast. I have not caught them in the act, but I fear they will be back for more.
Look at what they did to my poor pumpkin! An Autumn feast. I have not caught them in the act, but I fear they will be back for more. And with friends.
I took a cup of coffee outside with me this morning before starting some chores. After I snapped this pumpkin photo I decided to take a photo of Bridget who was at my heels. She became instantly distracted.
What grabbed her attention? Another saboteur...
(queue the scary music....)
The wicked Amy, running from the woods with her slobbery hedgie! Way to much for any self-respecting Corgi to resist. We did manage to get one photo, however! 
Have a happy day! -CS ^..^

Oh what a lovely picture you ended up with! Those darn animals and their eating gardens! I LOVE growing pumpkins and gourds but the squirrels ate nearly all of mine and much worse then the nibble from yours. They left only the seeds (scooped out with their little paws) and the very bottom rind after eating the entire pumpkin/gourd. I had to pick the few that were left while they were still green to save them from the same fate! Now I don't want to put them outside to decorate because I know they'll get eaten. I'm thinking of spraying them regularly with bitter apple or maybe hot pepper spray.
