Friday Feel Good: Giving a Baby Squirrel a Hand
What better way to say TGIF than to watch this heartwarming and epic video about a mom squirrel and her baby trying to jump a wall on the UCLA campus.
At first, it looks like no matter how many times the mom squirrel tries to show her baby how it's done, it will never happen because the baby is too little. (Everyone let out a collective, "Awwww!") Well, I'm not here to harsh your mellow, so of course it gets better.
Product of the Day: Walker's Squirrel Chips
I didn't realize people ate squirrel, much less wanted its flavor approximation on a potato chip. Shows how much I know! British crisps-maker Walker's just came out with its squirrel-flavored potato chips (Cajun flavored, to be exact, whatever that means).

During breaks of wet weather over the weekend, we took off to our local dog park to get out some of that rainy day energy. And, while cruising the perimeter, North got a whiff of a furry yet familiar little creature: a squirrel!

Awww, Hurricane Ike's Tiny Bushy-Tailed Victims Need Help
It's not just pets that need help in the aftermath of recent hurricanes, over 1,000 baby squirrels are undergoing care in what's best described as a "squirrel neonatal unit". The Houston SPCA still receives 20 to 30 lil ones each day, causing these creatures to far outnumber all of the other animals there.
We’re feeding them puppy formula every three hours.
Every Squirrel Must Have Its Day
This cute little punkass squirrel will stop delaying the White Sox-Cleveland Indians game when he's good and ready. First, he's gotta cool his harbles on the dirt, then he's gotta walk up to players to let them know who's boss, practically yelling "psych!" when they get close to him, and finally, after his 15 minutes of squirrel fame are up, he leaves the building.
The Scoop: Santa Monica Squirrels Get Birth Controlled
Lil squirrelly faces like this one are terrorizing the city of Santa Monica – in fact, there's such a population explosion in Palisades Park that the officials are taking a (thankfully) humane tactic to cut it down . . .

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day! After the little guy cracks that nut, he may choose to store his snack. If so, he'll lick and rub his face on it before it's buried – this helps him locate his treat later .
