Talk To Me
 From chipmunks to mallards to wild turkeys, our readers' backyards are alive with wildlife. This little cutie has been driving my dog, Banjo, crazy this summer. When I first spotted her, she was no bigger than the sparrows, but she's growing. When we put in a new fence this summer, I made sure there was a rabbit hole so she could escape when Banjo is on the prowl. Send me pictures of your backyard denizens to share. Write to me at chine@pffc-online.com. - Claudia
