PLAGUE!

July 4th, 2010

My friend Bonny keeps telling me that squirrels are evil and are just looking cute while plotting to take over the world. I have long maintained that she is full of the crazy and there is no great squirrel plot to overthrow humanity. She may be on to something though…

A Southern California campground has been shut down after a squirrel captured two weeks ago tested positive for plague.

Hello? Is this thing on?!

Hi. Sorry about the absence. Things have been a bit busy these days. I went to Florida to see my brother who’d been in an accident, came home, ended one job, started another…blahblahblah!

Anyway. Since I’ve been gone awhile, I decided to bring things back with a bang. This picture was brought to my attention by my friend Vicki. It made me blush. Seriously.

Do you have any idea how hard it is (lulz “hard”) to resist the urge to make a nut joke?! Oh man. And that face. LOOK AT HIS FACE. Wow.

Purple squirrel?!

May 14th, 2010

Hey guys! I’ve noticed I’ve been getting several emails from people trying to hunt down popular, old squirrel stories so I’ve decided to post them as they come up.

Recently, someone asked about a story from a couple of years ago about a squirrel getting into some dye. Behold, purple squirrel! It’s believed that this little guy got hold of some printer toner. You can read the story here.

Ok ok I know I haven’t posted in a WEEK. I know, it’s bad. Sorry. I have major work/life transitions happening and since no one will pay me to blog about squirrels, this is what happens.

Anyway. Since I can’t be around for a mega Squirrel Friday, I am going to give you the gift that keeps on giving – LIVE FEED OF A SQUIRREL NEST!

Click. Now. You can thank me later.
