You gotta love squirrels. What could be more cute, adorable, and playful than those rascally squirrels skittering about without a care in the world around your property? Those charming little rogues never fail to crack me up just like the nuts they love munching on. But goodness, I’m such easy pickings for the comedies of the natural world because I’m an artist and artists are just that way. Ok, ok… so I’m a dull artist living a terribly dull life totally devoid of booze, gambling, and wild women. So sue me!
But it’s not just me. Practically everyone I know loves, or at least seems to be fond, of squirrels and their antics. It’s common knowledge that God made squirrels into the intelligent, quick and insanely cute little varmits that we all know today so that wild animals would feel bad about eating them. Since artists aren’t very edible or tasty, God didn’t concern Himself making artists adorable, cute, or even terribly bright. Like fungus on a rotten log, artists just hang around doing our own thing while remaining unmolested by the forces of nature. I guess that ain’t a bad life when you think about it.
So, till we meet again, may this week be great and your squirrels well behaved. And may your dog not think about taking your car just to impress that hot poodle down the street.
