A bit of a sad story. The last 3 or 4 years that I’ve been at my place I’ve come to know and get kind of close to a beautiful Chipmunk. We had gotten to the point where she would get within several feet from me and we’d stare and blink at each other. I’d feed her nuts and fruit and I saw her nearly every day. I had really come to enjoy her company.

Well, she ended up getting hit by a car. I was devestated. After some mulling about and thinking I grabbed my hand-axe and dug a hole in my front yard, grabbed a plant and buried her. To make it more dramatic it started raining as I was digging the hole.

Here’s a video of her chirping which according to sources means she’s claiming her territory OR calling out for a mate; which I believe more since there weren’t a lot of Chipmunks around. Apologies for the shaky video.

After the video I have some pictures of her then the spot where I buried her. I miss you Chippy.
