SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE JUST HANGING OUT…OR UPSIDE DOWN…I MYSELF LIKE TO HANG OUT, BUT USUALLY NOT LIKE THIS…I’M THINKING OF LEARNING HOW TO HANG OUT LIKE THIS THOUGH. I’VE NOTICED THAT THE SQUIRRELS HAVE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES THAT ARE INCREDIBLE.
IF I HAD “ABS” LIKE THIS I COULD JOIN THE CIRCUS. I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO JOIN THE CIRCUS, BUT MAINLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE COTTON CANDY AND THOSE YUMMY CINNAMON ELEPHANT EARS AROUND TO EAT. I WONDER IF THE SQUIRRELS HAVE COTTON CANDY AND ELEPHANT EARS IN THE WOODS?
TOMORROW I CLIMB A TREE AND FOLLOW THE SQUIRRELS…EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO FILE MY NAILS, FINGER AND TOE, SO THAT I CAN CLIMB THE TREE.
In say it before it’s a really artist
Upside-down snacking… This is one heck of a squirrel!
So much talent in one four footed body!
wonderful catch
Thank you..I almost missed it!
They look lovely – I have one which takes food from my bird feeders. Compared with the British red Squirrel, they are big.
I never thought about their size before…..Yes, they empty the feeders, don’t they?
Yes. They hang upside down to get at the food. Mine like the fat balls which I put out in winter.
Until you have seen a Red Squirrel you cannot appreciate the difference in size. The Victorians brought Grey Squirrels over from America but they are hardier than the British Reds and carry a virus called Squirrel Pox which only affects the Reds.
There are very few Red Squirrels left in the UK and most are found in Scotland in Perthshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
I’ve seen them in Perthshire.
So sad about the virus….i’m going to look up the British Reds…they sound amazing!
A good bit of info on the Forestry Commission website.

Love their ears!! I hope that they can protect the red squirrel population….!
There’s a ring of steel round Galloway and Perthshire to keep the Grey’s away.
Just remember one thing…. when hanging upside down, blood rushes to the brain… this can have two results, you either fall down on your head, or come up with what you think is a good idea which turns out to be a real doozie…
lololololololol! Is that what happened to you with Terratry?
terratry is slowly beginning to sell now so that doozie is turning out all right… but boy I’ve had some good ones that have had me bouncing around on my head as though I was on a trampoline… I think my book is going to be one of them…
I recently (two months ago) started another business and now my arse is looking for a rest, running like mad with that one…
terratry got a smaller brother made for parks and botanical gardens etc and it is also doing well… Thank the Lord, as all these accounts of short falls between the medical charges and what my insurance pays are now rolling in like the proverbial dust storm over the desert… I really don’t know how anyone can get sick without insurance… Linda is lucky she is considered a serious disease so all her costs are covered… but after paying to this insurance for twenty two years and only ever claiming for Linda, I think they forgot I exist… still now I’ve got off the subject, but a head bang for terratry is now off the cards officially… lol…
Congrats on Terratry’s baby brother!
The book of course…outstanding…can’t wait to get one 🙂
I was just thinking that Terratry was “born” at the right time to help you through this medical dust storm…feeling any better?
Getting there slowly… seem to be out of breath the whole time, but the cold is not doing the lung much good… starting to feel my age now… the Africans all say when one feels like this, you must take yourself a second wife who is much younger…. Linda won’t let me, wonder why..??
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL….
Amazing strength in their tail.
Unbelievable!
Guess what I do to squirrels that get on my feeder. Filmed in my backyard.
Thanks for my first big laugh of the day…lovely backyard!
