“So anyway, out of the blue she texts me that she loves me but she also wants to see other people. It’s been eating at me all week and interfering with my job and my boss already has it in for me as it is and I can’t tell my parents about any of this because they think I’m the ‘respectable’ one, with the job and the girl and everything all sorted out…”

He only works with people that are nuts
This means I qualify! ?
Right behind you!
One of your absolute best, Mike! I’m going to visit a friend for a couple of days and I will show her this – her daughter is a therapist.
I don’t know that I’d take advice from a psychologist who sucks his thumb!
You’re right he does! Well spotted!
I was wondering who was counseling whom when I saw the thumb sucking!?
I dunno, I’d rather take advice from Linus than Lucy.
Excellent, Kar – you’re so right!
Notice the plump cheeks. Squirrelio is wondering if there might be some tasty treats stored there.
He is NOT!! You are questioning the dignity of this elf/psychologist. He’s just pondering on whether to tell his patient that yes, he is definitely squirrely, but a change in diet will help – -Mr. Squirrel will have to give up those wild berries and instead stuff his cheek pouches with corn and other squirrel food provided by the lady who lives in the house, she will give him anything if he just stands there looking cute. (Personal experience!) 😀
Shouldn’t der Hamsterer be lying down on a little couch or a big leaf or something?
That cliche was from Sigmund’s era when lying down helped free the patient’s inhibitions. Most if not all therapists use chairs. If there’s a couch in the office, it’s for families to sit on. I hope the squirrel finds some help. Maybe the elf can prescribe an herb of some kind.
Is that a squirrel sized porch swing, Gigi?! I’d love to know the backstory on that…!
I think he’s on the Island with Gilligan and the Captain et al.
Hmm…I was expecting a therapist to elves, not an elf who is a therapist. I might need to talk to someone.
Oh I thought the squirrel is the therapist – one specialised at the treatment of elves.
Poor elf looks so sad, maybe because he cannot quit thumb-sucking or a squirrel has just told him his life sucks, or it might be difficult to text the girl back with his stone fingers.
“Stone Fingers – he’s the man, the man with the stony touch!” A new version of 007. Hmmmmm…..
Does Squirrel have to reach a deductible? That sucks!
Red squirrel! Don’t see them around here. All chubby greys, or sassy blacks.
We have gray and some black here (Western MA) – I think our reds are a more muted color than this handsome guy.
Great picture, Stefan!
(Why, when I glance quickly at the title, do I read “Elf Proctologist”?)
Oh o.
Maybe you should consult a therapist about that… some deep-seated chindhood trauma… 😀
“Deep-seated”????? Hmm, perhaps some other issues here…….?
Mr. Squirrel did not agree with the Diagnosis.
