Lenny, the Squirrel Eats Peanut Butter with a Spoon

It started one day when I was eating lunch on my backyard patio. A cute little squirrel meandered over to me and sat up on its haunches staring at me like, "If you don't have enough for everyone, don't eat outside." So I tossed it a grape. Then another. I shared the fruit portion of my meal and he seemed to enjoy it immensely. I named him Lenny. The next day he joined me for lunch again. This time I was prepared with nuts...

Somehow Lenny always seems to know when I'm outside and he comes by each day to see what treats I have for him. He likes apples, apricots, blueberries, walnuts, pears, prunes, and peanut butter but turns up his nose at broccoli. (I couldn't agree more.) Clearly he's spread the word to his squirrelly pals about the great grub and I have a gang of meal time "regulars". It's like the bar at Cheers but with rodents.

In fact, they are so used to my handouts that if I haven't scattered nuts for their breakfast, they jump and splay themselves spread-eagle on my bedroom screen until I go outside and feed them.

One day I decided to teach Lenny how to eat peanut butter with a spoon. (After all, if I ever take him out to a nice restaurant, I want him to be able to use the utensils without embarrassing himself.)

So, here for your viewing pleasure is Lenny, the Squirrel Eating Peanut Butter with a Spoon....

Hey, just make sure theres no hydrogenated oils in the penut butter okay? It can cause heart failure. You should make sure the peanut butter is natural.
