You know you’re a squirrelholic when…

  • You feel happy when your spouse gives you a pillow saying "Welcome to the Nut House" next to a squirrel picture
  • You come home from three weeks away, drop your bags at the front door and then rush through to the backyard to dispense a handful of peanuts
  • Before leaving on that three-week vacation, you left about ten pounds of sunflower seeds under cover in your back yard and left three buckets of seeds for your neighbor to dispense once the original seed ran out
  • You talk to the backyard squirrels more than to your husband
  • You always have peanuts in your pocket in case you encounter a hungry squirrel
  • Shortly after you pull up in front of your garage, a squirrel shows up to beg at your back door
  • Your backyard squirrels run toward you instead of away from you
  • You make a mad dash to the seed store on Christmas Eve, so your squirrels don’t go hungry over the holiday
  • Your backyard includes three squirrel feeding stations
