Deep Squirrel Thoughts

Get ready for a treat, because reader Susan H. would like to introduce her squirrel friend who strikes a pensive pose:

I have this squirrel trained to pose for a photo before I give her a peanut! She’s very sweet and will take it (gently) from my hand. I’ve included a bonus photo of her staring off into space, thinking important squirrel thoughts.

Squirrel sits on the back of a chair and looks at you.
I think I would like a peanut.

I think I really enjoyed that peanut.

    I would like to join this squirrel in contemplating life in the garden…

    I love how squirrels are shaped when they stand, like a fuzzy pear with nipples.

    But enough about my beach bod.

      Thank you.

      Now I’ll have mental pictures of NSFW fruit in my head all afternoon

      Darn you, BFB! Can’t stop laughing at image, and now will have rude fruit images in my mind all day. Gonna make grocery shopping fun later.

        Whelp, I won’t be going back to THAT store for a while. Got caught in the produce section, holding up bananas and laughing at pears and kiwis.

          This is me on a normal grocery trip.

      I have a pear on my desk…not sure I can eat it now.

      I’ve heard squirrels called rats with good PR but never fuzzy pear with nipples 😂

    Awww! Me thinks she just had babies or is about to. 🥰

    I’m *pretty* sure this is the one I’ve been calling “Tipsy” (they all kinda look alike). She had some kind of neurological issue going on last summer- she would rock back and forth when she was sitting still, and when she walked she would always veer to the left. This summer the only way I can tell it’s her is that, instead of hopping along, she prefers to kind of army crawl through the yard. She’s capable of hopping; she just seems to prefer walking. I didn’t figure she would live long, so it’s awesome to see how much she’s improved.

    And yes, she’s probably had babies, but mostly I think she’s just fat from all the peanuts. 😀
