chipmunks.
The oddest thing happened today.
Sara and I are sitting in the backyard eating ice cream and suddenly we see this chipmunk running toward us and it jumps up on the cast-iron table and looks at us, and then we see Django (my cat) creeping towards us too. And this chipmunk just jumps onto Sara's leg, crawls up *all the way onto her head* and looks down, terrified, at Django. All the while, Django's sitting below and looking up at the chipmunk and his eyes are absolutely huge, and after about two minutes it jumps off Sara, back onto the ground and scampers into the bushes and Django immediately sprints after it and presumably pounced on it some time thereafter.
Here is an artist's conception of what it looked like.
