This is the first chipmunk that I've seen around this area, lots around my grandma's but never any here at all. He was around last year too. I've been out in the garage working on my truck with the door open and he's been hanging around when I'm out there. Started giving him some food last week. Now everytime I open the garage and go in there he comes out of his hole and chirps at me for something to eat. :D

Meet Skippy! :D

Not a fan of squirrels at all, but these little fellas don't do much harm, especially when there's only one around. Up at my gran's the get overrun and we have to clean a few out every few years just to keep the population down. The guests love them, they're very tame in the summer since all the guests bring peanuts up to feed them, they'll hop right up on your lap and eat peanuts or take them back to store them for winter. I have a few pics of them up on my head getting peanuts. :D Skippy isn't that tame yet, but he's getting there. He knows that when I shake the can of sunflower seeds it's dinner time. :D

We had a ton of them around my house and they got to be a problem. They were like biting into a pipe in our backyard or something like that and we started using traps to get them off our property. The traps didnt kill them so we would just drive a little ways down the road and drop them off in the woods.
