West Seattle Tuesday: Block Watch Captains Network, WC shelter meeting, ‘Try’ at The Y, more…

Ever seen a squirrel resting? Trileigh Tucker has not one resting squirrel but two in the photo above – after they “remodeled” the box she says was intended for an owl.

The owl will love her new lunchbox.

That cracked me up!

It’s been amazing how fast the animals (both squirrels and birds) popped back into action after our deep freeze ended! Sparrows are singing, crows are competing with each other, squirrels are remodeling. Seems that spring is already starting.

Wait a minute…that’s a studio flat…you need to up the rent. Last year near Schmitz Park I had two volunteer bunnies scampering through the front yard…they disappeared come October. Likely a coyote/eagle/owl lunch. I tried to lecture my indoor cats on that’s why they need to stay inside but they gave me that noncommital “whatever” cat stare.

@Jaydee…just keep on letting those kitties of yours give you that noncommittal stare and be firm and don’t let them go outside, just take a look at the Lost and Found section of the Blog to reconfirm your thinking.
