Hey, why don’t I see any squirrels at the new house? Did they all relocate to Northern Virginia? And don’t tell me “because of the dogs” because the dogs are ineffective in repelling any wildlife (see previous “bear scat in the yard” entry).
Trasherati: That’s SO weird. Just yesterday Dad and I were talking about the fact that before the one he saw scooting across the yard yesterday, hecannot remember the last time he saw a squirrel out there. And this is hardly a new trend because I don’t remember seeing squirrels out there at all EVER in 37 years. Weird.
Frederique,
At my days at McGill U., we affectionately called the squirrels, “Tree Rats”, except for the peculiar two albino ones which hung around the Chemistry and Engineering buildings, escapees, we presumed, of some diabolical experiments. They were skittish even for squirrels and we kept a safe distance form those two.
As students, bored to the usual distraction, we enjoyed putting peanuts and bread shreads on our chests as we lay on the grass and have the tree rats sit on our chests while they ate and looked at us with those beady eyes mullin over, we thought, if our prominnet noses were also edible.
I see squirrels occasionally around the Parkway, but not near the house or in town here. There was a HUGE one near RJ’s one day that she said was a Fox squirrel.

Another sign of the apocalypse.
I think most species have ninja fantasies…
After 4 years in Montréal where squirrels are EVERYWHERE and generally considered fluffy-tailed rats – with their own ‘do not feed’ signs in parks – it took me a good 4 months to realize the “hmm… something’s not quite right… something’s missing…” feeling I had whenever I was outdoors was because of the (very eerie) absence of squirrels. I live in a squirrel-free country. Another 4 months later, I still find it weird.

… précision: this awesome, squirrel-free country is New Zealand…
