The Squirreliest Squirrel
Bizarre July 9th, 2008
I like nature. I like animals in nature.
I like squirrels. I like squirrels eating birdseed nearby. They look cute.
I like squirrels with their bushy tails, eating straight from the bird feeder. Very happy squirrels.
What I do not like is when happy, bushy-tailed squirrels get spooked because I put down my coffee cup too loudly on the patio table and they flip out and fall off the bird feeder, run down a pole, get confused, spin around a few times and then RUN UP MY LEG.
I’ll thank them not to do it again.

There was a family of skunks living near our building and one day when I was coming out the front door, one of the babies saw me and decided to walk up to greet me. I froze because I thought it was going to spray me. Turns out baby skunks can’t spray until they’re over 6 months old.
I’m so brave.

Babs beetle — I do it for you, Babs!
Regan — If I’d had a camera ready for something like that, you can be sure I would have posted it. I’ll do better next time. Oh, wait. No next time. No.
Ferd — Yikes. Well, this squirrel only made it to the knee, so you’d have been fine. Sorta.
Suzy — See, this is what’s so great about blogs. You learn so much. Should I ever come in contact with a skunk, I’ll card it. Six months, you say?
Angie — Cute story. Cute squirrel. Un-cute reaction!
StephanieC — Indeed. I sat there for like five minutes. Did that just happen? A squirrel. On me. Huh? Wha?
DrowseyMonkey — Flipped-out human will now always give the stink eye to squirrels. I’ve had others walk up to me, but never try to sit on my lap. I’m scared now!
July 9th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Squirrels are tree rats. Useless, dirty, foul natured tree rats. My dog is afraid of them (she’s a yellow lab) and my cat wants to eat them (she’s a tiny tonkinese). I wish I could let my cat out to wipe them out. I HATE them for eating my bird seed.
HATE
HATE like no other for any other animal.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
1) If that squirrel was looking for nuts, he went up the WRONG leg.
2) Let’s count the reference to ‘nuts’ in your comments section.
3) Go for the rubber coasters or a memory foam table top.
4) Mix Cayenne pepper in the seed and see what happens.
5) Cayenne pepper does not harm birdies - they don’t have taste buds.

Bababooey — I don’t get it. Are you saying you don’t like them? I’m not sure, since you were so vague about your feelings.
BigNerd — You need a blog just for your 5-point comments. You’ve got something going here. They kill me every time. So we’re not exactly sure what cayenne pepper would do to squirrels? Is this a mad scientist experiment?
Jaffer — Funny! Do squirrels ever sleep? I’m pretty sure they were given too much energy for the size of their bodies. They love nuts and they are nuts. And stupid. I remember the time one took out the electricity over a few blocks, messing with the wrong power box. RIP.
Jenny — “I want a *trained* squirrel!” Veruca, you can have it. Hope it runs up your leg.
Jessica — I wasn’t laughing at the time, but glad you got a chuckle out of it.
Mama O — Oh, no. I would have to throw it out. I once had two crickets stuck in my Dirt Devil. Chaos, I tell ya. Chaos.
mizmell — I’m sitting out on the patio now. I’m being very quiet. I notice no squirrels have come here in the last half hour. I think that guy told all his friends to avoid me. That’s OK. More seed for the birds.
K-mom — Yea for de-lurking! I can still remember what it felt like to have its grubby little claws on me. Still freaking me out.
Katie — Yes, a “way over there, not on me” distance. Some of the others try to walk up to me, but stomping my foot usually gets them running. Now I have to worry about the crazy, stupid ones, too.
Shirley — I’m glad that I couldn’t see the squirrel too well through the opaque glass of the table top. I might have been scarred worse than I already am.
Riayn — I was doing an impression of minding my own business and look where it got me!
WillThink4Wine — I shall sit here and be quiet. Although, as I mentioned to mizmell, I’m wondering where all the squirrels went. By now, I should have seen a dozen of them. Day off? Scared of me? Embarrassed I blogged about them?

July 10th, 2008 at 5:57 am
I’m a big fan of squirrels. I had tons of them in my yard when I lived in Wisconsin and even built special feeders just for them. I would’ve LOVED for a squirrel to run up my leg–but they totally ignored me.
I once fed a bunch of baby squirrels at a wildlife center. One of the highlights of my life!

LOL! Sure hope you didn’t accidentally pour coffee over the squirrel

Squirrels are nice. Maybe they wanted coffee, and found your leg to be the most climbable structure around the table.
I’m surprised climbable is a word.

Kathy:
I’m confused. Are you saying that more than one squirrel ran up your leg? Because if one squirrel does it, I’d say he was confused. But if several squirrels do it, then something else is definitely at play here.
Happy trails, or whatever.
Swubird’s last blog post..HER NAME WAS IMPALA

Oh, I’ve had a similar experience: walked into the kitchen one day, and there he was - little bastard, sitting on the worktop, trying to open MY box of chocolates. We looked at each other, screamed and run away!
July 10th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Too bad Dave wasn’t there with the video camera - you wouldn’t won fur sure on AFV. Reminds me of the time I was playing on the porch in my dress (when little girls used to wear dresses to play). I was about 5 and sitting at a table playing a game with a girlfriend and suddenly I felt something stinging my legs. I jumped up and down screaming and crying and running in circles. Mom came out, grabbed me into the house - we saw that I had several sting marks - I think it was a wasp or maybe a family of them. I hate those stinging little beasts. Didn’t want to wear dresses after that either.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I’d say that would be a bit worrisome but it is funny when they all of a sudden flip out to a noise or even something you might not have been aware of.
Scargosun’s last blog post..Getting Worse
July 10th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Oh, Daisy, you’re nutty every time you comment here anyway. And that’s why we love you so!
brooke — I acted like I didn’t like a squirrel running up my leg. And my heart skipped a beat. And I wondered if anyone saw it.
Lori — I know he was confused. He had himself in such a tizzy on the way over from the pole. But I never expected him to come under the table and climb my leg. Poor guy. I should be thinking how I scarred him for life.
DeadRooster — My husband says it’s a good thing that animals want to come up to me. It means I have a good aura. Um. Yeah. Then why do they always want to attack me? Oh, you should head over to BabaBooey’s place. He loves squirrels, too.
BK — I wasn’t thinking fast enough on my feet! Actually, I would never do that. Too mean. But I might shake my finger at him. I’m so sure he’ll behave next time.
Ulquiorra — I was indeed climbable. Wow, you’re right. Spell checker has no problem with climbable. Weird. Anyway, the poor little guy got so confused, he’d have run up anything in the vicinity. After he got down off of me, he ran to a neighbor’s yard and scurried up a tree. For all I know, he’s still in it.
JD at I Do Things — I pray it never does. The very first thing I wondered after it happened was “Do I need to get a shot now?” And ya all know how well shots go for me.
Tiffany — I don’t know what I would have done had I not been sitting at a table. If I was on a chair, out in the open, there’d be nothing to stop him from climbing up further. *shudders*
Susan — Yes, the polite ones are cute. Those are the ones you invite to lunch. The one I got was like the bad seed who trashes your house. I hope I never see him again.
Daniel — I was so not wondering, but thanks. I’m sure they’re very lean because they move so fast all day long. Way to exercise! I’ve heard of black squirrels and that they’re fiercer than either the greys or reds. Very happy I don’t live where you do!
Momo Fali — Happy to serve!
Toni — I love them when I can look at them from a distance. There’s a zone, I would say about five feet around me, into which a squirrel must not enter. All bets are off after that. I have rocks and I know what to do with them.
Bruce — I know. I was so careful this morning. Eventually some came by and I made sure to stay silent. I do not need him telling all his friends to come teach me a lesson.
Jay — Loved the squirrel stuff from Wonka. Forgotten all about it until you and Jenny mentioned it. tee-hee!
Swubird — Well, no. But don’t even suggest that more than one will do it. You’ll jinx me and I don’t know what to do if a posse shows up.
Sand — Love that visual! There’s a great scene in Christmas Vacation involving a squirrel/human meeting. I can’t post it here because the video I found has a nasty website listed on it. I’m sorry it tried to eat your chocolates. But at least it knows a good thing when it sees it?
Marlene — It’s interesting you mention stings. I have two very disgusting mosquito bites on the leg the squirrel climbed. For some reason, all the creatures in my back yard are enjoying my left leg. Sorry about your stings! I got stung by a bee on a butt cheek once if that helps?
Scargosun — It happened in a flash. I had no time to react. I might have laughed at him had he not decided to make me part of his flip out!

In Regents Park (London), the squirrels all climb on you. They try and get in your handbags for food. They are very tame and people feed them. I loved it when I was there.

For some reason, this post made me think of the awesome movie Food of the Gods (see screencaps here!), in which squirrels, chickens, and rats grow to monstrous sizes thanks to mankind’s constant meddling with chemicals. My favorite scene involves the main character punching a giant squirrel in the face. Perhaps that’s what you should’ve tried…?

I would have paid big bucks to be sitting across from you with my camera in hand to capture the expression on your face when that happened. I could have made a fortune selling t-shirts with that picture on them.
Speaking of t-shirts. Check out the contest over at my blog!
July 10th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Babs beetle — But does no one worry about rabies? Can you get rabies from a squirrel bite? Is there a doctor in the house?
JD at I Do Things — Over dinner tonight, Dave and I were discussing the squirrel attack and he said, “You know, that reminds me of a really bad B movie called Food of the Gods, I think.” Is that the one with the Lepuses? The giant rabbits? I shall punch the next squirrel who so much as looks at me wrong. Thanks for the tip!
KFJ — I think what I need to do is feed the squirrels my own diet. Then they’ll be slugs and won’t be able to move real fast. They won’t work as hard for peanuts or anything else.
Felicia — I’m really glad he didn’t bite because calling in late for work that day would have been just a tad embarrassing. “Um. I’ll be late because Rocky the Squirrel bit me.” Do you think they would have believed me?
Musing — I’m counting my lucky stars. How mad would I have been to also have hot coffee in my lap? I’m much more careful now that I have to worry about nature attacking me.
Lee — And I know you’d get the perfect shot! I didn’t try out for your contest because I kind of suck at those things. But, still, I want a t-shirt or another calendar. Run a contest I can win, will ya?
July 10th, 2008 at 6:09 pm

I’ve had squirrels climb my leg before, but never wild “i’m so scared I just pooped myself” squirrels.
Lets hope he answers this invitation to NOT do that again.

Imagine my surprise when I came home one night to find a dead squirrel stretched out like a corpse on my front sidewalk for the entire world to see. SCARY!!!!

Kath, you know what I’m going to say about nature. Repeat after me…. Outside, bad. Inside, good. Set up your living room like this: chaise lounge angled toward the tv and patio window, positioned near the electrical outlets. Pull up a side table for coffee, snacks, remotes, and phone. Only leave the safety and comfort of the couch for potty breaks, food, and paid work.
July 11th, 2008 at 8:45 am

I scare the walnuts out of a squirrel every time I come home and drive up my driveway. He goes running down the driveway ahead of my car like I’m that giant ball and he’s Indiana Jones… And he scrambles up the fence, heart beating so I can actually see it…
I feel bad for giving him little squirrelly heart attacks each day, but– when will he learn?

July 11th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Babs — You’re so brave. I’d be worried one would sit (and do worse) on my head!
Bee — The only reason I haven’t insisted the bird feeder be moved away from the patio is because I was too lazy this summer to fill my planters. If I had, I’m sure the squirrels would have a field day with them. And then I’d have to kill them. Good luck with yours!
Amy who has a mostly clear nose — Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I love when I have to google something from the comments. Will you think any less of me if I told you I never saw “The Princess Bride?”
Henson Ray — The nerve! Here’s what they should do: Walk over to the curb, lie down (legs tucked under), and then go to permanent sleep, just in time for the garbage pickup, no? (I don’t want to know how you got rid of it. I just had lunch.)
Chris — I totally would, but I’m not prepared to be on camera yet. Someone would have to retouch 40 lbs off me, then maybe we can talk. If I thought a squirrel was smart enough to bring the bag down, I’d send him up for all the peanuts in the world.
ann of the shampoo bag — I’m sorry. I know I failed you. I went outside and deserved to have outside things happen to me. “…and paid work. Love how specific you are! You are my idol.
Lori — They do scatter, like bugs! You wouldn’t believe the menagerie that flees the second I open the patio door. I want to get that on film sometime. We are like Dr. Doolittle. Everything that crawls or flies comes to our house.
Jenn Thorson — I felt the gross little claws. I really do hate to think about it. Love the Indiana Jones imagery. Poor little guy! Pity him. His brain is the size of a marble. If that.
Linda — Welcome fellow EC-er! You really should have seen my face. Stared straight ahead and thought “Did that just really happen? Seriously. Did it?” I’m pretty sure this will happen only once in my life, so I’m good now.
Sandy — Thanks! I’ll be right over!
July 11th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
I’m with Bababooey on this one. I not only hate squirrels, I am also scared of them. My husband thinks it’s hilarious. I always imagine that, since they are sooooo fast, they will immediately run at me, scramble up to my neck/face area, and start clawing and biting. Dirty vermin. (1st time poster–woohoo!)
July 11th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
The closest I can come to that is about 10 wasps under my shirt, happily stinging me, after I accidentally stepped on an underground nest. Oh wait maybe not. I had a very loud buzzing insect stuck in my ear once. I really panicked and shouted to my husband to GET IT OUT OF MY EAR!!! Do you have any idea how loud it was….wings flapping in my brain!

windyridge — Oh, that’s just awful. And I can’t even think about anything buzzing in my ears. Someone would have to knock me out. Ugh. That’s so nasty.

Susan — A tree stump, actually.
Karen — Nope. It happened so fast, and he was still freaking out, so the contact period was short. But I can tell you I remember exactly how his grubby little claws felt. I’ll never forget it.
Joe — I think it’s impossible to squirrel-proof anything. I watch them get to the birdfeeder, and I’d swear they have suction cups on their feet. I do think squirrels have a mean streak, so tell your wife to watch her back.

Louise — ACK! Are you kidding? Squirrels make the weirdest noises. There are some who fight at the top of the bird feeder. They sound like cats to me. Bizarre!
mlm — A barking squirrel. Now we’ve heard everything!

hahahahahahahahahahaha That is hilarious.
I personally hate squirrels and love my Quinn (female Siberian Husky) who hunts them with quite a good bit of skill.

castocreations (hzk) — Uh-oh. So I guess this proves squirrels aren’t that smart if they’re not telling their friends to stay far away from your house. See, I knew they were crazy AND dumb.
