The Critter

The critter has been identified... it's a chipmunk. Here he is hanging out on the side of our house (literally) stalking the bird feeder.
We have seen him there often and also on our deck, on our front porch and in the flower beds. Though he has not yet left me his requests, he has helped himself to all the strawberries from one of our three strawberry pots (which happens to be the ONLY one that is producing strawberries). And continues to bury (plant) seeds EVERYWHERE.

Ethan calls him Chippy. He wants us to ask him to be our indoor pet.
