    Not that we particularly like them-though they are cute. But can be very destructive little creatures.

    We only have them here in Scotland as pets Petunia. They are cute little things but I doubt I'd want them in my garden.

    That chipmunk is a colourful thing. It's a pity that they are a bit distructive because otherwise I could imagine that they would be fun to have around.

    That looks like a healthy chipmunk! Ours are teeny little things!

    Nice rocks too, Petunia!

    I generally like rocks and stones, Petunia, I pick them up everywhere I go and keep them around in my house. I even ask people to bring me a stone from other countries. I have them from all over the world.

    I'd love to see your dry waterfall -- hope you do get it moving if that's what you like!

    Chipmunks are cute little creatures but like everyone else said, destructive. If anyone wants one, I have 5 of them that raid one of the birdfeeders, emptying them out everyday.

    The only good they do is to entertain my girly-girl little cat. She is only allowed outside on the deck and the chipmunks have fun teasing her as they race across the deck in front of her. Lucky for the chipmunks, she doesn't have the hunting/killing skill to catch them.
