Squirrels

It is a little known fact about me, but I love squirrels. They are like little personifications of Nature, small, energetic, clever and entirely unreadable. You can't see into their heads and figure out what they are thinking; you can only guess. Actually, they seem not to even think. Just as the wind and the waves of the sea are unthinking moving parts of Nature, squirrels dash about, but seem to have only the harmony of Nature behind them as a driving force. Interesting little tree rats. Although, if you look hard, you might be able to see the dragon inside them.

I held a burial for a squirrel my dog killed. I was sobbing hysterically. I gave up my glass makeup case for it. It's got a grave out back with a note in it.

Squirrels are wonderful beasts. They're fare more interesting to watch than birds.

Plus there's the little known fact that squirrels can both breath fire and juggle cars.

Firstly... Aw, it's always sad when a squirrel has passed away... Especially since it could have breathed fire or something to scare the dog away.

They can also tap dance better than penguins....and they are the best at playing chicken.

O.O Sad that the squirrel died... :( We have a bunch here. Every morning there used to be 8 coming to raid our bird feeders.
