      (wonders whether I am the *ONLY* child to have hidden behind a particular
      living room chairback to protect myself, whenever the flying monkeys came onscreen….”

    I’m confuzzled, is this more strayche or blorp? Or some unusual and wonderful combination?

    Skwerl is not amused, either way.

    I thought ground squirrels were all named “Sandy” and lived in a pineapple under the sea.

    Fendi would kill for that coat! Wait, that’s not what I meant to say. I love those speckled dots so delicately layered on his back.

    “You drive really well for a quadruped”.

    I have two cats who like to site on the edges of tables or chairs like that and just dangle the front pawses…

    But he’s melting very cutely.

    We decided to skip spring and dive right into summer. It was 87 degrees out that today. I wanna join das skwerl in the snowy-place.

    Am I the only one who got the Spaceballs reference???? (which of course was stolen from the Wizard of Oz), but I just picture Yoghurt saying it….considering the cute little face on this fuzzy ewok! :)

    and your little prairie dog, too

    I never realized they were so . . . so speckle-ly!

    Awesome photo. I wish we had them here. The ‘shooters’ tend to go for deer and wild hogs. Maybe Rachel Maddox would like to make them her critter to sponsor.
