So what do you think … is this Robot toy feeding the chipmunk a nut or trying to get it away from the chipmunk?

The first time I saw this picture I thought the robot toy was feeding the chipmunk – cute, huh? But the more I look at the photo the more I imagine that it’s a tug of war between the two and it looks like the robot is winning!
What do you think?

Wordless Wednesday

A word of warning to anyone having an outdoor wedding this summer – guard the cake! If you don’t you might just end up with a little squirrel helping himself to the cake!

Hundreds of Midwestern Power customers and two squirrels were very unlucky one day last fall.
Apparently a squirrel came into contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers. Power was restored in just under an hour, but naturally the squirrel lost it’s life. The remains were found by repair crews.
Just 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich, another squirrel got into a substation and caused a temporary power outage that affected 1400 customers.
The power company is now thinking about what kind of steps it can take to keep curious animals away from the lines as they, along with weather, are one of the leading causes of power outages.
“We kind of liken it to anyone who’s had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out,” said the power company spokesperson. “They find a way.”
Good luck!
