One of the little darlings chewed through the wire between my camera feeder and the solar panel. This is the second time. This time they ran off with the wire connector. They did last time also but I found it elsewhere in the yard. This time no dice.
So it’s going to be splice time. I think they are mad because I am using habanero flavored bird food which the squirrels won’t eat.
So I don’t have any bird videos but how about a photo of our Pom, Kodi with his patriotic tie. Doesn’t he look like a dapper dog? He had a spa day. He loves the people at the groomers.
And here is our rescue dog Sadie. She loves to play. In this photo she wants me to quit snapping pics and throw that red ball.
Here is a cardinal caught leaving a feeder by jumping off. It looks like a bird version of Tom Cruise.
And this might be a female cardinal (correct me if I am wrong) landing on the feeder.
Between squirrels chewing up solar panel wire and Sadie chewing up my laptop power cord, I am getting pretty good at splicing wires.
I am linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters.
Hello,
Kodi looks very patriotic and cute. I love your sweet Sadie too.
Great captures of the Cardinals.
I have a feeling it was squirrels that ate the wiring in our car, we were told the wiring is made with some kind of soy product and the critters love to eat it.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend.
…did you explain the rules with the squirrels?
i have spoken with mine – they don’t listen!! they are just like teenage kids!!!
oooooh those pesky ole’ squirrels and all of their antics. the tom cruise reference is hysterical and dead on!! the second cardinal looks like a female – i have one at my feeders that looks identical to yours that i thought MIGHT be a young male. i don’t really know, i watch for fun. your dogs are really adorable, i LOVE the tie!!
Hello Alan,
Are you the same “yogiabb” who recently visited my post about Sparbach Nature Park? 🐗🌿 When I clicked on the name in your comment, I couldn’t find a link that led anywhere – just thought I’d mention that, in case you’ve ever wondered why reciprocal visits might be missing.
I searched for a similar name in Eileen’s linkup and figured “Yogi’s Den” sounded close enough – so I’ll just go ahead and say thank you! 😊 And I’m curious to hear back from you!
I can totally understand why squirrels aren’t always fun when they chew through your wires and disappear with the connectors… 😅🐿️ Even though they do look pretty cute! But seriously – habanero-flavored bird food?? 🌶️😲 I’ve never heard of that before – definitely not something we can get in Austria! Are you sure it doesn’t bother the birds? 🐦 Maybe THAT’S why the cardinal behaves like a bird version of Tom Cruise?!? (😂😎 Great saying!)
Your dogs are absolutely adorable – Kodi looks like a cuddly little fluffball and that U.S. tie makes him extra photogenic 🇺🇸. And Sadie, your sweet rescue pup, has such an irresistible gaze – I’m sure you threw the red ball right after that photo was taken! 🐾
Wishing you a lovely weekend from Austria,
Traude

It’s good you know how to do that! Love the cute pups and that Cardinal!
Seeing a photo of Kodi makes me happy!
I have to put my bird feeder back up. I took it down because of bad weather.
Kodi looks incredibly dapper after his spa day!
