Stitching and Chipmunk Rescue!

 I am stitching on a Crossed Eyed Cricket design, Haunting Favors. I am stitching Bones.  In the design he has bright green hair growing off his skull. I am thinking my Bones may not get any hair stitched. We will see how he turns out....

This is Bones so far... He is my stitch for today.  I hope to get him finished so that I can do the Spider. I am going to do them for Josh and Zoe and use them as the Jar Lids. I have 2 big mason jars that I will fill with candy for their Halloween Treat.

I have to tell you about Willie Loomis ( kitty ) He has turned out to be a furious hunter. It may have something to do with us thinking he was a girl kitty for about a month.  lol  He is getting back at me for calling him Josette ( Miss Kitty). I always leave the back door open during the day, nice cool breeze now that Fall is here.  Anyway I was cleaning out the Craft room and I moved the little table beside my stitching chair... There laid a chipmunk.. His little heart was just a beating!!!  He was still alive!  I had to get something to get him out of the house.. I grabbed a little trash can and a paper plate.  I didn't want him to take off running.. I didn't have to worry about that.. Poor thing was just limp. I got him in the can and took him back outside at the edge of the woods... I later went and checked on him... He was no where to be found... I hope he recovered and is wiser now.. That was last week...
Today I ran and picked up stuff to cook for dinner tonight. I come home, walk in the house.. Put my purse on the table and hear Willie Loomis attacking my vacuum cleaner. All of a sudden a little head stitcks out. I scream,  thinking it is a rat!  Then his whole little body comes running out toward me!!  It is a little bitty chipmunk!!! Loomis jumps on it! I yell at him!!!  Baby chipmunk is trying to get traction on the floor.. I get Loomis, put him outside and close the door. I can't find my trash can and this chipmunk is a lively one!  I get the bag my groceries where in.. I scope him up in it and off we go back outside... I let him go at the edge of the woods. I tell him to tell all his friends and their parents, that there is a new cat in town and they need to watch out!  Two chipmunks in two weeks! geesh..
 
After all the excitement this morning, Mr Loomis is taking himself a nap!  It least no more chipmunks at the moment...
Till later... when Loomis wakes up....

LOL!!! I am laughing but I probably would not be if it had been me EEkkk!!

Our dog Licorice is part Doxi and part Scnhauzer(sp) She stalks the poor animals while on our walk and one day a squirrle just wasnt fast enough she nabbed it right by the tail thankfully I started screeming and she dropped it. I often wonder if we had a yard what treasures she would bring me.

Have a great day and hopefully you have no more chipmunks in the house

What a cute story. Hope the chipmunks survived and learned to stay away from Loomis. Great jar lids.
