Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day


As my regular readers know, I have a lot of fun with the squirrel concept including the Ad Hoc Squirrel Club.



First there was Chase.  

Then there was Hunter.  

Then there was Flash.

Then there was Mischief.

And more recently Violet joined the scurry.

(and it is all Dug's fault - you know, the dog in the movie UP who frequently stopped mid sentence to exclaim "Squirrel!")



This  photo was sent to me by Louise  who noticed this winter-season-dressed squirrel during her recent visit to Montreal.  

Thankfully I am not alone in my chasing of squirrels.



There are lots of you out there who are self-identified members of the Ad-Hoc Squirrel Club (linked above) and probably a lot more who haven't actually ID'd themselves yet. 

(remember, it is never too late to join the party)



Mari (on a blogging hiatus) sent me this fun photo a while back.

(Fair warning - squirrels can be very convincing!)





And here's a fun vintage graphic that Louise discovered while doing research on a completely different subject.




You can see lots of other posts featuring my studio squirrels by clicking on the different labels at the bottom of this post.



Enjoy!

On the long driveway to my dog groomer she posted a sign: drive slowly. Our squirrels don't know one nut from another!

I think I love the sewing machine squirrels most of all.

What a hoot! The antics of wild squirrels is year-around entertainment and has provided our family with lots of laughter. Right now, one or more squirrels are with the birds in eating the wild bird seed on the knee wall around our front porch.
Love this post, the funny quotations, the cartoon, and revisiting each of your friendly squirrels.

Hugs!

All the squirrel memes are great, but I particularly like "Adivce from a Squirrel"

I follow squirrels everywhere - in the sewing room, around the house, and more. It's so nice to know there are others in the "Squirrel Club,"
