YES! It is Scritch a Squirrel Day! I will make myself available to all BB's who would like to observe this most special day.....

I'll also make house calls.... even all the way out in Colorado.....
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

--squirrelmama (10/3/07)

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

I read somewhere that Cinderella actually had squirrel-fur slippers, not glass. Squirrel fur was vair, glass is verre.
