And Don’t Come Back!

A country landowner recently encountered an unauthorized squatter who had taken up residence on the property. The violator became aggressive and in no uncertain terms claimed the whole area. Sprinting away to safety, the landowner turned and quickly took a photo of the perpetrator.

This guy is scary!

You’re very brave, Robert A.

    Lovely little weasel!
    BTW…when did this post show up?

    • Berg says:

      Yeah, proofreading was not as good as it could have been. The second sentence of the above post was not supposed to be a question but an exclamation (!). Whoops.

  2. Peanut says:

    I can’t believe there’s only one comment! Not much of a belly, but I would still want to snorgle it!

    So cute!

    This post needs to be moved up to the top where people will actually see it! I stumbled on it entirely by accident.

    Weaseloons!

  6. O NO He/ She/ It DI-unt!! says:

    So is this a photo, of the country landowner, or a photo of
    the unauthorized squatter? :)

    • O NO He/ She/ It DI-unt!!! says:

      – oops — Question retracted…I just re-read the story set up & it sez
      “took a photo of the perpetrator”….(blush)

  7. Gigi (the original one) says:

    This guy is not scary at all! No one can be scary with a lovely little pink nose that just begs to be beeped, so BEEP!

  8. Hon Glad says:

    He’s no sock puppet.

  9. ceejoe says:

    oh my lord. seriously. how do people get photos like that without dying of the cute?!?

    • Wend says:

      This is where the swift shutter speed of modern cameras really comes into its own. If you can press the button before the cute-paralysis kicks in, it will get the pic even as you collapse. ;)

    The weasel-loons and the chocolate jelly belly nose slay me.

    Such a cute outfit. Very aerodynamic. :)

    Monsewer Stoat/Weasel/Ferret/Ermine (whatevs) is really all “Come back, Mr Landowner, I just wanted to play.”

  19. DIs MY Tree… now you go away!

    I’ve heard the weasels can be vicious but this one sure is beautiful! do they go after small pets?

  21. jen says:

    LOVE the paw danglage!

  23. ScoutsMom says:

    Why do I keep imagining him shaking a tiny white fist?

  24. Theresa says:

    PS: Look at that perfect turned-down frown!

    The hovertext reminds me of Fuzzy Lumpkins from “The PowerPuff Girls”… (-:

  26. tracylee says:

    that’s quite a scowl, sir!

    (as we say in the South) Gitonouttahere! Goonnow! Git!

  28. Mary (the first) says:

    I don’t know.. he looks more forlorn than scary, to me. Like he’s wondering why the land”owner” didn’t bring a nice egg or something else yummy as a hospitality gift.

  29. TrixandSam says:

    All I could think of when seeing this picture was: Abominable Snoweasle!

    (The background around him is just ambiguous enough in scale to make it questionable as to how big this little guy is. He could be 7 feet tall for all we know!)

  30. victoreia says:

    When I first saw this, I could only see a little bit of the head, and thought it was going to be a bear cub. Imagine my surprise!

  31. Skip says:

    That belleh is driving me to distraction!

  32. Michelle says:

    It’s just a costume. You can see the seam going all the way down the middle :)

  33. Theresa says:

    He’s amazingly rectagular, isn’t he? It’s like his sides are almost parallel.

  34. Rooanne says:

    He looks like a mini polar bear. Grrrrrrrrr – very scarey!

  35. flutterby says:

    Little shaver almost deserves a disapproval tag with that sourpuss!

    Very defiant for such a small creature….

  36. sterk says:

    HAAAA!!! Love the GI Joe spoof reference in the rollover comment.

  37. Becky, Bubba's mum says:

    A weasel? I didn’t know weasels were adorable! Poor little guy looks like he could use some weasel chow….doesn’t he look a little bit undernourished?

    • Amee says:

      All mustidilae are adorable. Most weasels/ferrets/stoat/etc are thinner..helps them crawl through small openings.

  38. chanpon says:

    Deja vu or do all stoats just look alike?

  39. Lorel j says:

    Hole worn in iPad from repetitive BEEPing.

  40. Natalie says:

    haaaha! Genius!!!!

  41. Julie says:

    How sad that these precious things are killed for their fur :-(

    • Becky, Bubba's mum says:

      Julie, you are so right. It’s trite, but that fur looks a whole lot better on him. Shame shame on fur merchants and their customers.

  42. If he came to live with me I would not mind. Though my 7 ferrets might freak at the interloper.

  43. Fleurdamour says:

    Isn’t this the same guy from ‘Snowpocalypse?’

  44. Rikki Tikki says:

    sooo white and cute, but only for the winter…. then they shed their coat and turn dark brown with their only their bellies white. (still cute no matter what color)

  45. Beckeroo says:

    Standing like that with his little arms held so close to his body, he reminds me of one of those old wooden clothespins. Only much more need-to-glomp-able.
