Peculiar Playmate




I have a little playmate, his name is Notch II. We don't know what happened to Notch I, he was mom's favorite. Anyway, this guy comes calling every day, several times a day. Notch II will chatter loudly and flash his furry tail until I come out to play!! I know, it's the strangest thing. As you can see from the above photos, he doesn't feel threatened at all.....I mean my fierce loud bark doesn't scare him! Can you imagine? He knows I'm just playing cuz my stubby tail just goes a mile a minute. I do have lil' Molly girl in the house, but she is 15 years old and doesn't want to play, she sleeps most of her days!
When Notch II comes calling, mom lets me out. I cannot contain my excitement! Notch comes down the tree just out of my reach and he watches in amazement at my jumps. I think I entertain him.


He runs around the tree and so of course I do too. Then he goes up high on the branches and I continue to jump and spin in circles. He goes from tree to tree...and so do I. I mean it is crazy fun!


Just watching him up there on that branch hoping soon he'll come back down.

Play time is over, but I know my buddy will be back soon.

  2. We used to have a squirrel playmate named Timmy. He'd go down the tree juuuuuuussssst far enough to tease then chatter at us. Like he was laughing at us! The noive!!!

    But we moved and Timmy had to stay there.

    Nevertheless, there I have jumped almost in mummies laptop. I am quite hot if I see one. But to the play nothing comes to me!
