America was scenic and picturesque — nature and woodland reveries for the folks. Then something bad happened: They took in some Communists and Marxists and sh!t began to happen.
With the Marxists God was despised. People went to university and lost all their Christian upbringing and became full-fledged Marxist — without even knowing so. One race was pitted against another race — class warfare — and that became know as identity politics. The Christian white race which brought in the Marxist soon learnt that they were racists. They learnt to shut up or be threaten with cancel culture, threaten by BLM and Antifa. They learned that they couldn’t defend themselves, that America was an evil country. They learned that justice only favored a certain people with ethnic, sexual and racial grievances against America, favored the rich Democrats, favored the people in charge. All the problems brought the country to a state of terrible unrest and an undeclared civil war.
The squirrels liked America of old. They would never have let in the Marxists. They would never have taken pity on that little viper who has grown up in the universities and turned them into a snake pit of their own deadly kind.
Watch out for squirrel ladies.
They are nuttier than cat ladies
They make awful good gravy.. :)
When Squirrels Were One of America’s Most Popular Pets.
They were pets too long. Now they are politicians.
Prairie dogs are cute, but one can’t keep them as pets, because they carry Plague.
I was elk hunting up in the Idaho/Wyoming area and standing under a fir tree, being real quiet, dink! Off the top off my head a pine cone hits. I look up and this little squirrel is looking down. I figure the little butt head dropped his meal, then I move a few feet over and dink! Another pine cone. This happened several times. I look up and he looks at me comes down about half way and chatters like a buzz saw. Then I figure any elk around are knowing I’m here and move up the ridge. Smart? Well he got rid of me.
Ferrets are good if you have a rabbit problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XerUmuPStyY
Bernie Goetz likes them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjF5ccIrP8Q
Parrots can be quite mean.
My old aunt (deceased now for fifteen years) referred to squirrels as ‘bushy-tailed rats’. She cheered on all the cats in the neighbourhood, in their squirrel hunts.
They don’t. My dog brought two infants to his dog bed. Found them in the woods when a nest was overturned after a storm. One died from internal injuries.
Hand fed the survivor. Cute. Had a cage built. Learned to get out....and out of the house through the dryer vent. Acorns kept showing up in my dirty clothes basket.
Would finally mature and would growl and bite when I would try to feed. Bye-bye.
Handed her over to a vet tech who lived in the country. We had cats.
Now I think of them as tree rats. They have screwed up our plumbing vents to the tune of several hundred dollars.
And I don’t brake for them anymore.
John Singleton Copley who portrayed a number of our founders and probably most famous for his portrait of Paul Revere, painted a portrait of a young Henry Pelham with a pet squirrel...
It must go with the name. I used to have a Tervuren named Ranger who carried squirrel eradication to an artform. I had trees in opposing corners of my yard. He knew the exact sweet spot where a squirrel needed to be for him to launch and get to the squirrel before it could reach one of the trees. There was a small zone where the squirrels would briefly hesitate for just a fraction of a second to decide which tree was their better option and that brief moment gave Ranger all the time he needed to close the deal.
That’s cute. Squirrels are fun, as long as they don’t get too nervous or over excited. Hence the term ‘Squirrely’.
The animal was probably added to the composition later by the painter. I can’t see a squirrel sitting in place for hours like the boy probably did to produce stetches.
Lol.
I resemble that remark 😆
May God bless, FRiend,

If only you could make that rhyme as a poem... it would be around for generations.
Tree rats.
