Westrrtoutwlththechlpmunks eating some snrdss on the coffee tabie(WthsomenEcematchbg end tables in the badrgtound). Next is a fun shot of the little crtt- ters dimbing around on the lady of the hause, perhaps hoping that she will give them some treats. And in the third view we learn that the chipmunks even explored on the family dog, who I'm sur- prised seemed wIIling to put up with it! I really enjoy the drapes in the background of this one. The reel containing these and other views of the chipmunks was well-worn,so I'm guessing it was one of the family's favorites to view and share. What better way to remember these unusual pets? 00 JJ A Pal~I~.lllnnot National Stereoscopic Associat ion, Inc. Volume -.
