After watching a resident squirrel repeatedly try (and fail) to get at one of our bird feeders, I somehow got the image in my head of the squirrel sitting on Teddy’s stool at Bob’s Burgers chowing down. So I opened up CAD and decided to make my daydream a reality. That was almost a year ago, but I’ve finally gotten it published and wanted to share.

      Thank you. We’re up to 5 regular squirrel customers now, and the scrub jays keep the place scoped out for fresh peanuts.

      The other side of blackboard has (written poorly), The Squirrel You Know Its True

      I also thought of The Don’t Stop Seed Eatin’ as in Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” but I wasn’t sure if it was obvious enough.

          That was my first plan (probably not the every day part I am, deep down, very lazy) but I was afraid the chaulk would get rubbed off super fast. After having seen the animals interact with it, I don’t think it would be a problem.
