SO.FREAKING.CUTE! Um, you know….I believe I have some of your knitting here at Chez Obsession. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t return it out of the goodness of my heart or anything, but a small sheep-shaped-reward would not be turned down. *ahem*

Don’t get too close to the varmint (squirrel, that is, not Spendy). They can carry rabies.

Oh, I love your felted guys. I bought the bear kit from Marr Haven, too, but alas, it rests in the bottom of my stash-trunk, only one ear attached to his lumpy head. I gave up hope once I realized that I was no sculptor: instead of a bear, he looked like a decrepit monkey skeleton (to quote The Simpsons).

Love your blog! This is my first visit, and I had to leave a comment. Was supposed to go to Rhinebeck this year (1st time), and had to cancel because of work commitments. Am absolutely going next year….sounds like fiber heaven!!!!

Love Spendy! I think I saw him at the TasteBudds stand, too. Don’t let him tell you otherwise.

Embed nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.) on peanut butter, put it on the little flippy trap in the HavaHeart. The peanut butter makes them work to get the nuts, and the trap CLANGS shut (just echoing some of your other posters). I look to relocate chippers, and always end up catching idiot squirrels. It’s just a matter of time for that little squatter. They are only cute OUTSIDE.

Spendy is darling!
I agree with Juno about Squirrels in houses. THEY DON’T BELONG. Besure to find the hole where it got in and cover it up with something METAL. They will grind their little incisors down to nubbins if they think there’s a chance they can get in again. Oh… but be sure to plug up the hole while the squirrel is outside. We did it the other way one time and at 3 am I could here the little varmint trying to chew his way OUT. Woulda served him right. Also woulda smelled bad. Eventually.

I’m going to second the peanutbutter trick; it takes them *just* long enough to get at it and distracts them from realizing that they’re stuck in. (if you want to make it a gourmet sort of last meal then smearing pb on something and covering it with seeds is the way to go. Also here to second the drive way, way, way far away idea with a few loopd’loops thrown in to get them a bit off course.

I believe that you’re shy because I think I’m similar. The sheep is wonderful and I’m all for future documentation of aforementioned hampster; I used to have one and miss her company dearly. (especially when she used to be worth an hour of entertainment when I let her out in her “ball.”)

Peanut butter in the live trap and then take him for a nice long ride before you release him – at LEAST 8 miles away.

Ask me how I know. I dare you.
