On the first of the month, The Little Stitcher released her August bird - a Yellow Wagtail. I snapped up the digital pattern and will begin working on it shortly. If you've enjoyed watching me stitch this series, you might want to purchase a pattern or two - here's her Etsy shop link.
My blog title today - Never in all my days! What might that refer to you ask. Watching a young chipmunk nurse - something I've never seen before. And ever so cute.
Baby on the left - Mom on the right.
Trying to nurse one way...
...and then another.
"Mom...please!"
"Whatcha' doing mom?"
"Can I help?'
"Oh, oh! Opportunity calls - nursing!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"Nirvana achieved!"
"More please!"
"Pleeeease!"
"Seriously mom!"
"Whatcha' looking at mom?"
"Okay this works just fine!" (Note the baby's tail and back paws - he's upside down under his mom's body).
Close up of his tail and paws...
"Love you mom!"
"I'm your co-pilot mom!"
"I watch and learn..."
...and mirror your every action."
Oh my goodness! That is too cute and your captioning is still making me giggle.
