It's funny how their minds work. :)<br /><br />• Sharon, there seem to be more black squirrels than grey around here. We're overloaded. Thanks for the shout out. I'll be by shortly. :)<br /><br />• Gillian, one good thing about a dog that plays hard.. they sleep well every night. Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Karen, I wouldn't be happy to find such an encounter. I'm very relieved that Benny doesn't seem to want to catch them. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Slamdunk, he always earns his naps. :)<br /><br />• Cloudia, I wonder what he'd think if he knew he was popular in Hawaii? There'd be no living with him. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-73249065204662363672012-01-24T23:31:03.266-05:002012-01-24T23:31:03.266-05:00Benny is a BIG star in our house!

You're such a hoot.<br /> Your poem of Ben in hot pursuit<br /> It made me laugh, your skillful pun<br /> I'm sure I speak for everyone.<br /> <br /> Against that tree he'll jump and hurl<br /> And yes, he barks when chasing squirrels<br /> He just isn't easily deterred<br /> Thank you, Glo.. for your kind words. :)<br /><br />• Michael, he is indeed quick but he'd be stunned to learn how sharp their teeth could be. :)<br /><br />• Thanks kindly, Zuzana. He is too much fun to describe. I'm glad that some of his personality shows through here. :)<br /><br />• MPM, I'm so glad it arrived. A bit late for January but at least there are 11 more months to go. I hope you enjoy it in good health. :)<br /><br />• Barbara, I'm so relieved to know that he's not interested in capturing them. He couldn't have the killer instinct and sleep with a teddy bear, now could he? :)<br /><br />• Crabby, they're no more exotic than the grey ones. They're both members of the same species.. some just happen to be black. And for some reason they only exist in a few areas - southern Ontario being one of them. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Shammie, it sounds like Tessa and Benny might have a fair bit in common. ;)<br /><br />• Lady Fi, you're not alone. :)<br /><br />• TSannie, he is. I think we'll keep him. :)<br /><br />• Daryl, that's him, exactly. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Reb. All he needs is that red cape. ;)<br /><br />• Thanks, Sandra. But shhh.. we don't want him to know he's cute. There'd be no living with him. ;)<br /><br />• Catch up is good, Mage. Especially on fries. ;) Thanks always for your kind words. :)<br /><br />• Friko, our black squirrels are the same as your (and our) grey squirrel. Both are members of the Eastern Grey. :)<br /><br />• Gayle, thanks very much. :)<br /><br />• Jenny, thanks kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)<br /><br />• Barb, he would love to climb it, I'm sure. Let's hope he never learns how. He'd probably be afraid to come down. :)<br /><br />• Wendy, the squirrels are all over the bird feeders but the birds do get their fair share. Frank tends to shake some of the seed on the ground so that the squirrels can feed there, instead. I enjoy seeing them come around and the birds don't seem to mind sharing. It's when the raccoons come around to raid the feeder that we end up with a mess! :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Reena. I'm glad you get a kick out of this crazy little guy. :)<br /><br />• Janie, I think a lot of dog have it built into them to chase.. and if a tree happens to be in the way, then they learn how to jump or climb. They're clever little creatures. :)<br /><br />• Karen, his nickname is Hoops. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-20446516072204182992012-01-23T23:02:59.462-05:002012-01-23T23:02:59.462-05:00Benny might be ready to try out for a basketball t...Benny might be ready to try out for a basketball team. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-40523319639794545562012-01-23T22:45:52.835-05:002012-01-23T22:45:52.835-05:00I love that he chases squirrels and climbs trees t...I love that he chases squirrels and climbs trees to do so!
