Squirrel obstacle course, cute spotted deer, dog and cat differences, and Maru’s birthday parade
Most people would just keep them in the pantry, but let's see how this works out.

Here’s one more video to add! >:3

Haha that parade!! With Maru looking his usual nonplussed self. 😻
The squirrel walnut heist video is ASTONISHING! I remember last year’s obstacle course video of squirrels. This one is even more amazing. A battle of wits between a NASA engineer and squirrels AND the squirrels win!!!!
That guy has way too much time on his hands but I love it.
He spends his time training squirrels to overcome the world. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
He’s also hilarious and obviously loves those squirrels. I laughed myself silly.
The cat & dog tweets have me crying with laughter.
I’ve heard that taping you pants cuffs closed will keep “them” safe.
I hope the white deer has a long life and no one tries to hunt her for trophy purposes. She’s just adorable.
I’ll have to finish watching the squirrel video later but I thought it was kinda funny to see them testing it with a stuffed squirrel. And I guess we now know what’s even smarter than a rocket scientist. SQUIRRELS! Also anyone else hear the Mission Impossible theme in their head??
We had two piebalds hanging out in a field just north of our little town several years ago. One of them was either poached or taken by predators (coyote?) depending on whom you ask, but the other is still around to this day, probably 7-8 years later. It’s generally known in town that if someone were to harm her they would be tarred and feathered, then run out of town. The remaining one has already outlived the natural lifespan of a deer, especially a piebald which is a genetic mutation that can cause some physical deformities and problems (ours is shorter and stockier than the other deer in her herd; if you don’t look closely she kinda looks like a sheep or goat).
I’m glad your community protects its piebalds. Little fawn was so very sweet!
I saw the squirrel heist video this morning on YouTube and I was going to send it in but then I came here and I saw 2 people bet me to it. I also love this guy’s porch pirates videos, they deserve all the glitter and stink spray that get!
