Chipmunk Eating From my Hand

by Darlene McFarlane
published on Jul 9, 2007

This is Hoppy. My husband named him for his ability to bound over tall grass and squirrels to be the first one in line for nuts. Here he has both pouches full and one nut held in the front of his mouth just before running home with the groceries.

Thanks for the comments Loretta and Gail. This is how I de-stress, by sitting in the back yard surrounded by my little friends.

Wonderful Darlene. Funny story too of how animals are not always great at sharing and caring.

They are the sweetest little critters, Lucy. This little one lets me pet him now, they tame very easily. If you look at my other picture, "Chipmunk Eating Peanuts" the shot shows better what they look like and how they fill the pouches in the side of their mouth.
