Just cut a squirrel out of a rattlesnake.

Did he thank you?

Great. We've barely got past Mad Cow Disease and you want to go messing with Crazy Squirrel Syndrome.

You're nuts.

It actually stunk to high heavens but my wife really wanted to see what it was. I kept telling her it had to be a tree rat. But no, she had to see it. So I opened it, the damm head of the thing pulled off and we both about puked from the smell. Now my trash can is stinking up an area of about 10 square miles around my house of death.

Note to self...

Reminded me of this.

Pleez not to be eetin muh sqwurls. Deez r mine.

We have a rotating population of about 4-6 squirrels. Popdigr calls them all Arnold. As in Schwartzensquirrel.

Cuz they're all so--meaty.

ETA: It had been many years since I'd seen those little ground squirrels, with the little black stripes down their back, probably ten years, and those were over at Land Between The Lakes, in western KY.

I've seen three here near home in the last two months.

My best friend went outside to look at the world the other morning, and found this little feller laying in the yard. Must've been blown outta the nest by the storm the night before. He took care of it for a few days, then remembered how much it entailed raising a babby squirrel. So he took it 'to show it to' his 9-10 year old god daughter. She fell in love instantly, and wasn't about to give it up. Mission accomplished. The girl's dad didn't mind much, but, her mama sure was giving him a mean look when he left...without the babby squirrel.

Is it a Chip or a Dale?

Yep.

Actually, it's a Rocky (sex unknown). I name all squirrels Rocky. And all squirrels have a British accent.
