Squirrely love

I always had a thing for squirrels. However, most people think that they are only glorified rats. I totally disagree! I would be more than happy to have this little critter in my tree this year.

squirrels are the best + they sure get a raw deal! our cabin neighbor in northern wisconsin used to shoot the poor little cuties! my dad went over and had a talking with him + told him that his daughters thought it was very cruel of him, he has since stopped!

I love squirrels too. We had a pet squirrel named Baby who we saved after his mom got hit by a car. He used to sleep in my mom's shirt by her heart because of the warmth. We were devastated when he died. So yeah squirrels rock.

I love squirrels too! That being said, I also love rats (we had a lovely one as a pet) and sort of hate to see them derided, though I understand that people are frightened by them :) We had a little squirrel that we named Itchy who would come to our window each day to be fed for awhile, was quite sad when he didn't show up any longer. Love those cute squirelly ornaments!

I agree, I like squirrels, too! Rats?! Nah... I made a fiber art piece featuring one in my little Athena's Arthouse etsy shop. I've got to work in more squirrels, though I've been obsessed with birds and trees. In any case, I can totally see these little ornaments on my tree. :) Thanks for sharing the link!!
