I enjoy watching this ball of energy that is highly entertaining and overly inquisitive. He darts through the birds as they’re eating and scares them to death. He runs across the fence at an impressive speed to get to the goodies I offer. He dashes across the lawn to reach the feeding areas first. He sniffs everything. Investigates everything. And eats everything. This frenzied critter is in constant motion, always in search of food, all over the place and into everything. There’s no doubt that he’s a nuisance to all the other backyard visitors by constantly getting in their way or under their feet (or wings).
And because of all that, my husband announced during one of our evening walks that he’d decided to name our chipmunk “Mr. Inski”
“Mr. Inski?” I asked.
“Yeah” He said with a smile. “First name butt”
Mr. Butt Inski. :~)
Har har har... You gotta love a man with this type of sense of humour.
And for those of you unfamiliar with this term, here’s an explanation:
(Definition of buttinski: a person (or in this case animal) that is constantly butting in or meddling in the affairs of other people (or in this case animals).
Yup, that sounds just like our backyard buttinski.
That's Mr. Butt Inski

Hee, hee...between your chickadees and chipmunks, you've got somebody watching you all the time! Your husband's name for the nosy little chipmunk is perfect. Mr. Inski sure is cute---great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh he's too cute! Chubby little animals are almost as cute as kittens... you're lucky to enjoy his inquisitive attentions. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tatiana, I adore chipmunks! They're do darn cute. They can be mischievous, but they are cute.
ReplyDeleteI like chubby little animals too, but I especially love the look of baby animals. Now that's adorable!
Thanks Beth. Despite my camera being old, it still manages to take some decent photos now and again.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget the mourning doves; they treat my garden like a resort!
