    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:



    awesome!
    :cool:


    squirrels have sone serious cajones.
    :P

    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
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I was going to bring up the issue of having a Will Ferrell appreciation thread, yet none for squirrels.

    I am glad the discrepancy has been corrected :)

    I do remember walking out of work one day and saw these squirrels playing hide and go seek. At least that's what it looked like to me. I thought that was pretty cool.

    The squirrels at my college were ornery little bastards..would run right up to you and bark at you and when some fool would run they would chase them.

    One of my college roomies had a trick he called the Dead Squirrel....probably best for another topic though, quite disturbing
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Today the squirrels were trying to establish the Squirrel Cafe in the back yard. There were three of them attempting to get something good out of the trash. I disconcerted them by putting everything out in front. (It's garbage day.) They spent at least a half hour studying the spot where it had been. It was funny because they were chattering to each other and running around with that look "I KNOW it was just here. Jim did you see? It's vanished!"

    :D

    It's fun to confuse the squirrels!

    And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

    I don’t see squirrels very often where I live but I visited my sister in Northern CA on New Years and she had a bunch in her backyard eating the bird food. She tried to deter them by greasing the pole. It worked for a while but they still got the food after a while as you can see:

    fuzzy and cute? they are slightly above rats. there are annoying and disgusting. they should be eradicated from this earth (not really but i do hate them).

    Ours are back with a vengence! Wow! There's about six of them and they hang from the branches above my dogs and squeal at them...which drives the dogs crazy... I thought one of my pooches was actually climbing up the side of our large cedar tree and my brain was trying to fathom what I was seening, but then I realized it was a racoon (one of our dogs resembles a raccoon)....Then all hell broke loose with the squirells yelling at the racoons who were snarling back at the squirrels - I thought my dogs were going to explode!!
