As we were sitting out on the front porch enjoying our margaritas on Sunday afternoon, Lenny came by to check on us.
Instead of Lenny though, it was his missus.
I’ve seen pups running around lately, so it was nice to meet their mamma.
The female rock squirrel has two litters a year with three to nine young in each litter. The first litter is born between April and June and the second litter is born between August and September.

I love how the little ones chase and play. Momma’s probably terribly happy when they’re out of the nest.
Are you just calling her Mrs. Lenny?

Boy, I don’t envy her nursing all those babies. One at a time was tough enough for me.
