    There are a lot of black squirrels in Amherst.
    They really show up running on the white snow there.

    I wish I had a picture of the squirrel my husband and I saw this afternoon. He was triumphantly standing on the garbage bin. He had chewed his way through one of the bags and it was too cold for me for run out there and chase him off!! :D

    (So, we just laughed and made noise to startle him.) ;)

    Kind of a funny I thought of when I saw this thread.
    We were at the hospital last week to get one of my daughter's blood checked. I posted about this last Oct, she was hospitalized for weird bruises all over her and ended up she had ITP. So she has to have her platelets checked once a month.
    So we were in the waiting room, waiting. They have an awesome play area since this is a childrens hospital. So Jane and her dad were over looking at the games trying to decide what to play. And Jane looks at all the games and says I want to play Hitting Squirrels. Sooooo just guess what game she wanted to play?????? :lol: OMG it was just so funny, I was laughing so hard I was crying. She wanted to play Whack a Mole. :lol:


    Squirrels around here are crazy, they sit up in the trees and throw nuts down on you and they laugh! :?

    I just got back from America, and I took soooo many photos of squirrels. Probably about 20. They crack me up!
    (we dont have them in australia, so they are a novelty)
    Take me for a ride before we leave...

    We have a big fat grey one that sits in the trees and teased my mutts...they go crazy!! Stupid cheeky thing... one of the trees it shares with a raccoon, so we have some pretty wild mornings here sometimes, much to the chagrin on the neighbourhood....

    However, I think squirrels are just about the cutest thing on the planet...and omg, they are SOOOO funny when they fight...It's hilarious!! :D

    squirrels are total teases! totally drive our dogs nuts. they will run along the fenceline, and then just sit there, seemingly staring down the dogs like 'eh, stupid mutts....you can't get me.' :mrgreen: they are hysterical to watch, and really...so unbelievably graceful as well. the way they leap and bound around, like trapeze artists. they LOVE our yard b/c we have so many trees, and most especially, a gigantic black walnut tree. no need for a per squirrel, we've got yard-full of free squirrel entertainment. :lol:

    so the other day i was leaving the house for work and norm is running circles around the tree in the back yard...looking up and barking...in general going a little nuts...he's treed a squirrel...so for fun i grab a couple tennis balls and toss them at the squirrel...never got close to hitting him but i did manage to make it move...at this point norm is confused and thinks it's gone to the side of the house...next thing i know, the squirrel goes for it...runs to the end of a branch, jumps to the ground and runs toward the side of the house...right at norm...before norm can react, the squirrel jumps over norm, onto a tree, from the tree to the roof...craziest thing i've seen :lol::D
