Chessie is your typical grey squirrel...except not. An eternal optimist and cloudcuckoolander, she seems to follow her own set of rules. After meeting Dook, she spends most of her time annoying the ferret either through the window or inside the house.
Dook is an ordinary house ferret, if you overlook his grumpy demeanor and his dream to become a famous songwriter. He lived a life of peace and quiet (again, aside from the music) until the day he met Chessie. Since then, he's done his best to ignore her, hoping she'll eventually go away. It's not looking very likely.
An elderly squirrel who lives with Chessie. She's quite knowledgeable of the goings on of the woods; getting the information out of her is another matter. Is she obfuscating senility, or just teasing those who ask? The world may never know. .... ..... ...... RAISINS!
Max is a mutt that lives in the same complex as Dook. On occasion, his owner will drop Max off at Dook's owner's place. Max's favorite pastimes are barking while hiding behind something (or someone), chewing on stuffed animal ears, giving Dook (and now Chessie) lots of kisses, and chasing down that elusive red dot that shows up from time to time.
Through the Window is currently updating three days a week for the remainder of the year, every Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday.
