Because it’s been so frigid, I was starting to feel a little sorry for my sworn enemies, the squirrels. I got tired of watching them scrounge under the feeders for any seeds dropped by messy Mourning Doves. I braved the chill to set out a few piles of peanuts for the beasts. Little did I know I was creating a monster.
Meet the Peanut King:
The Peanut King didn’t care that I purposely spaced the piles of peanuts over 10 feet apart from another to promote sharing. Finders, keepers! He chased anything with fur or feathers that dared to enter the vicinity.
This went on for hours. Unfortunately he was so busy lording over all the other creatures in order to maintain his power that I’m not sure he actually ever enjoyed any of the spoils.
