Thanks as always for doing this, LB.



There were so many choices this week! I'm doing all of them I liked, except the ones Uly's already used for avatars.

Forget Tuesday, Wednesday is Squirrel Appreciation Day!!!
Published January 20, 2009 animals , squirrel appreciation day 1 Comment

Sorry to all my loyal readers for my long absence, I’ve been befallen by both bronchitis and a case of the lazies.

Thankfully, I didn’t miss the most important day of year: Squirrel Appreciation Day, this Wednesday.

Not sure how to celebrate? Here’s some tips from wildlife rehabilatator Christy Hargrove, who is credited with founding this special day.

According to this press release, “Hargrove suggests leaving an extra treat out in your backyard, such as seeds, nuts or suet. Or she recommends simply learning something new about the furry species. For example, do you know what baby squirrels are called?”

(Answer: pups.)

Guess What Today IS!?!?! Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Hey, fellow farm dogs—January 21 is Squirrel Appreciation Day!

I don’t know about you, but I plan to show my local squirrels how much I appreciate them by encouraging each one to scamper up the nearest tree, where they’ll be nice and safe.

Don’t you just love it when those nutty critters scold you and twitch their fluffy tails? Makes me want to bark my brains out.

Now, as we know, our humans often seem unappreciative of our squirrel friends, whining that they take over attics, chew through electrical cords, steal birdseed and corn, blah blah blah.

I say, tell them to get over it–and show them these cool, squirrel facts:

Over 250 species of squirrels exist worldwide (dogs, that’s a whole lot of squirrels to chase).

They range in size from the 5-inch long African Pygmy Squirrel to the 3-foot long Indian Giant Squirrel (yikes!).

As members of the rodent order, squirrels have four, sharp front teeth that grow throughout their lives (dogs, that means chase, don’t catch).

Squirrels are omnivorous: dining on nuts, seeds, plants, fruit, even eggs and nestlings (but not dogs).

Squirrels are important prey for many predatory mammals and birds (dogs, remember those nasty, pointy teeth: Chase, don’t catch).

The Arctic Ground Squirrel is the only warm-blooded mammal known to survive below freezing body temperatures when hibernating (you’re right: BOR-ing).

Squirrels can run 20 mph (And I can run 19 mph. Perfect!)

And with that, back to work.

The Arctic Ground Squirrel is the only warm-blooded mammal known to survive below freezing body temperatures when hibernating (you’re right: BOR-ing).

Hmmm? Their body temperature actually drops below freezing? Do they have some kind of anti-freeze in their cells to survive that?
