Jason and Mr. Nutkins

This is Jason's pet squirrel, Mr. Nutkins. Mr. Nutkins loves Jason and Jason loves him. When Jason makes "clicking" noises, Mr. Nutkins runs up on the deck and waits for peanuts.

I thought Mr. Nutkins was fun too, until he started assaulting me every time I open the back door. Now I feel the need to exit onto our deck with preparation (pockets filled with nuts) so that I can bribe him to leave me alone.

Jason thinks this has the makings of a great nature documentary "Making Friends with Nature in Your Own Backyard."

I am picturing something more along the lines of a horror movie "Attack of the Killer Squirrels."
