If It Is Thursday, It Must Be Squirrel Request Day
There seems to be pent up demand for Squirrel news today and never let it be said that I won’t pander to my audience. It has been a slow summer for squirrels, no squirrel packs eating Russian dogs, no massive power outages placed at their door, ok a couple of little power outages including one that left somebody dead, but no big ones, so what have the little buggers been up to then?
Apparently, weight lifting. Not much of a story really, but you want squirrels and we deliver here. I think he is doing a Michigan J Frog homage in the third photo.
Ok, how have we humans been using this downtime in the squirrel assault on civilization? By finding out that squirrels identify each other by sniffing each others armpits.

Squirrels do that too? I thought it was only Marklanders.

Yeah! More squirrels! It’s been a pretty dull summer without fear inspiring small mammals.

Ok, the second story is kind of lame. But maybe he’s practicing for future mayhem.

See! Maybe we need an Autumn of Fear animal? Naturally it would be bears, since who’d be out with the sharks when the weather turns cold?

But do we go with bears at their bedtime?
