Meet Sammy

Most subdivisions have problems with stray dogs, stray cats, and (for those who have nice gardens), stray salamanders.

But because OUR subdivision is known to be a sosi one, the strays also have to be sosi.

So...meet Sammy...the stray squirrel!

Actually, this wasn't the first time we saw Sammy. I saw him crossing the electrical wires outside our house a few months ago, but Eric and I didn't want to tell anybody because we didn't have a camera with us and no one might've believed us.

Well, Eric saw him again a few mornings ago in our garden and...ta-dah!

When we first moved in, we were already warned by Eric's friend, Renato, to expect the likes of Sammy. See, according to Renato, he visited another friend at our subdivision a couple of years back and when he went into the house, he saw his friend's driver playing with a slighshot. He thought the slingshot was for the stray cats, but when he asked, the driver said, "Hindi, sir, para sa mga squirrel."

Which was why I think of all our friends, Renato was the most excited when Eric and I moved in, because we could validate that friend's driver's claim.

So we weren't really surprised to see Sammy.

I haven't been this excited about a visitor coming to our home since....since...well, you really can't compare a squirrel to anything or anyone else, can you?
