Since I KNOW how much you love squirrels, I thought you might enjoy this email I received today - or maybe NOT, haha!

Excerpt from Dr. Jon's Dog Crazy Newsletter:

Believe it or not, today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. This is yet ANOTHER holiday I had not heard of. What do you know about squirrels? Here are a few facts.

1. According to the National Wildlife Federation, when a squirrel hides its food, it pretends to bury it a few times before choosing a final hiding spot.

2. There are more than 300 different species of squirrels!

Dogs and cats both LOVE squirrels. Well - "love" may not be the right word. I know both dogs and cats that are absolutely fascinated by them.

To celebrate Squirrel Appreciation Day, here is a favorite homemade treat that you can make for squirrels - all you need is a pinecone and some peanut butter. Spread the peanut butter on the pinecone, hang it from a tree, and your work is done.


He omitted the last step - the one about waiting with firearms at the ready when the little creatures come to enjoy trap you have set for them!
 
Haha I can see Rich all in camo. Squirrel Sniping.

.30 caliber is pretty much overkill for squirrels, but heck, why not? :laugh: I've thought of taking out one of my .50 calibers because those suckers will hide on the opposite side of the tree when they see you. Wouldn't help them much with a .50 caliber....

Actually I have only seen one squirrel around here in months now. The bird feeders have all kinds of birds flocking around them and that is normally a siren's song to any squirrels in the area.

Anyway, "Squirrel Appreciation Day"..... Hah! That IS funny..... I wonder if Halmark carries cards for this event?
 
I heart squirrels. I envy them, their life is so simple, scamper around and hide their nuts. They are so cute, they are all over our campus and I love them.
 
I used to like them too. Until they started killing my timber bamboos. Unfortunately for them, I like my bamboo more than I like squirrels, and they forced me to choose between them. :uzi:
 
I'd trade squirrels for feral cats, or even rabbits, any day!! I mean, I like the squirrels more.
