And nice tails.

Dragonflower says,

I love watching the squirrels scamper up and down the trees. But I have often wondered why. The busy tails were a great brand idea, that's for sure.

Dean6805 says,

I often wonder whether we'd still like them as much if they were as good as getting behind our walls as rats are.

Dragonflower says,

I meant bushy tails! And LL and I posted at the same time! Thinking same thoughts! I want to add, I feel very deja vu-ey about my first comment. Like I wrote it before. Same for Deans' memoir, like I read it before. Interesting feeling, that deja vu.

Dean6805 says,

Hey, I may have written it before... I suffer from ADH... SQUIRREL!!

Dragonflower says,

oh Dean, I just laughed out loud for the time in weeks!

Rats scare me. Come to think of it...I'm not much of a squirrelly type of person either

DynamicDbytheC says,

I fed a squirrel by hand and I don't think I would do that with a rat. Cute memoir. I will never see squirrels in the same light.

Dean6805 says,

Sorry to ruin that particular pleasure for you, DDC ;-)

Sagacious says,

I'd favourite this if it wasn't Googlable.

Dean6805 says,

Ha! Oh no, did I plagiarize?

accidentaltourist says,

Having owned a rat and mice as pets, I'm thinking they definitely need a better ad campaign. They are sweet little creatures, very friendly. My experience with squirrels...not so much.

knew some one when I lived in NYC (in an altogether different life with a few cross over players) who called pigeons sky rats.
