Squirrel Sunday....the "rant"

So it's Sunday.....are you looking for me?? Maybe you like this view???

Well, it's all you're going to get! So you had an anniversary?? That means that you've been exploiting me for a year now??? I'd like to talk about the conditions that I've been working under here!

I'm dragged out in all sorts of weather......rain????

Ice and snow??? How would you like to freeze your butt off on an icy railing every winter????

And you don't even provide me with a stunt double!!!!

Who do you think I am....Indiana Jones???
This is dangerous stuff here!

I'm so weak at the end of the day, I can barely lift my head to eat. And what do I get paid????

I don't even work for peanuts!?! All I get is sunflower seeds .....left-overs from those bird-brains that hang around!!
Well......we'll see how you do this "Squirrel Sunday" stuff without me!

Until conditions improve......this is ALL you're going to get!

I'm on strike! Ha!

(hmmmmm......someone seems a bit "testy" today. Maybe next week....?)

Oh I am still laughing at this poor squirrel and its weather and working conditions. Given celebrity status and free lunch and dinner sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Three cheers for the magnificent camera work involved in following the antics of this delightful,furry creature around!!!

LOL!! LOL!! An absolute scream Mary. Love every word and picture. You definitely know how to interpret these pictures wonderfully. Thanks once again for making my Sunday. I am going to miss these come winter so I hope you have a lot of pics stored away.

I'm sure he's just having an off day. He'll change his mind when his belly is full and the sun is shining. Give the guy a break, everyone complains about their job now and then.

Cute post!

You done well on the story line here! Those squirrels! ... next he'll be organizing the ranks into a union shop and have a picket line formed. However, I think he secretly knows he's got it good ... he's just checkin' out how far he can push our sympathy buttons!

Becky said...

These are SO good Mary. You do get the best of this little rascal. Poor baby. Apparently he hasn't heard from his country cousins that actually have to work for their eats! LOL

Jenny said...

Brilliant story line and photos Mary. Loved it! My big laugh of the day, thanks!

Mary said...

Thanks everyone....and I'll be sure to read him your comments so he'll feel loved. Eats me out of house and home and expects to be petted on the head, too...he doesn't know "good" when he has it!

P.S. The squirrels are not on strike at my house in my Big World.....just posted pics. Your squirrels look quite a bit fatter than ours!!

Mary said...

Kerri: thanks....some times I get writers block...maybe I'll leave him on strike :-)

JB: Fox squirrels are fairly large in general and mine are well fed, despite what he tries to convince the rest of the world! Will check yours out!
