That’s exactly what she was doing. She would gobble sunflower chips in the tray feeder, in full, hot sun, for about a minute, then scamper to a patch of shady deck and sprawl for about the same. Then repeat. What a ham!
For some reason, it always makes me feel good when I see the squirrels or rabbits just chilling in my yard, like I provided a safe haven. Of course, it’s all an illusion. All it take is a hawk or fox to show up. Still, when you fall so low on the food chain, those moments must be pretty nice.
Yes, they cheer me, too. And Chloe is such a ham; she has been entertaining me for peanuts — literally — for months, though I am encouraging her to eat healthier offerings (with minimal effect).

Was Chloe venting off too much heat?

Glad you enjoyed it, though Chloe deserves much of the credit for inspiration. 🙂
