Chipmunks are the cutest. At least they seem cuter than the pesky squirrel I had in my attic last winter. I saw this one in Waterton, Canada this summer while visiting the Waterton waterfall. I think I like Chipmunks and think I can pass on squirrels. I have a farm squirrel who manages to get in our chicken coup/playhouse every winter. Oh my goodness, what a huge mess he makes of everything. We have done everything to make him go away short of imploding the playhouse! We just added a wire mesh to try to keep him out so I will let you know how this works although I think I can safely tell you that he will return. Dern squirrels.
