We live in a small town too now, Michelle, and I grew up in one (partly). Your house is great and your treehouse greater! I love the squirrel, but not surprised your dogs don't like him (or her). We had a pregnant squirrel who came to our lanai looking for treats for several months when we first moved in here. She was so sweet and cute and we loved watching her babies play and grow up ... but they don't live forever. And most of the squirrels are gone now after the hurricane - I don't think many made it, they're so small and the storm destroyed most of their trees.
