lol. love reading this... i live in the mountains in pennsylvania. i have tons of trees around my home here. i do get wildlife, too, especially deer, squirrels, and chipmunks. i hear stories of an occasional bear in my neighborhood, though i haven't seen one since i moved here 2 1/2 years ago. lol. anyway, i love it when my uncle comments about hearing the chipmunks in my yard. lol, i tease him to death about him having bionic ears because i'm deaf and cannot imagine hearing chipmunks moving around in my yard. lol oh, yeah, my neighbor told me last month that her golden retriever got into a skunk and was smelling of skunk. hilarious.
