That's the subtitle for my Sensational Saturday blog.
Here's something I've recently found extraordinary (you may find it completely stupid).... While eating my lunch and sitting at a picnic table at Milligan Park last week, a very curious squirrel came right up next to me. So close that I could literally reach out and touch it if I wanted.
Afraid of contracting rabies, I casually threw a chip past him to see if he would leave. He ran after the chip, grabbed it and ran about five feat from the picnic table where he munched on the chip. Once the chip was consumed, he came back to the table, even more daring than before. I just sat there and looked at him. His little nose was sniffing and his beady eyes were glued on me. So, I threw him another chip.
This continued for about five or six chips. After the last chip, I was concerned that his little squirrel body couldn't handle anymore of the fried potatoes. I got up and went to my car to finish my lunch, hoping he would forget where I was. Well, this little squirrel followed me to my car and stood right by the door. Finally, I had to roll up the windows and pretend that he wasn't there. After about five minutes, he eventually ran off.
I have never known a squirrel to do this - it was abnormal squirrel behavior...hence it being extraordinary. So, I wrote about it here!
Has anyone else had this squirrely interaction before?

My mom, Isaac and I had a squirrel come very close to us at Milligan Park as well! We were eating Subway. I think Isaac threw him a big enough chunk of bread that he didn't come back. But I had never had a squirrel come so close either! He must have learned a thing or two about getting food. ha ha ~ Hannah
