This photo doesn’t really show how fat my squirrels have gotten, but believe me, they have really chubbed out for the winter. That pleases me, as I’ve been given them tons of food in the last month, and their appetites have increased.
I was trying to photograph this guy’s pulchritude with my iPhone with one hand while luring him to the window with a hazelnut in the other hand. You can see they know a nut when they see one (not me!).
You can also see their water dish and some sunflower seeds that have already been nommed.
fat like the duck-filled Fatty Puss;-)
🙂 cute
A friend of mine had a squirrel bang on her window angrily for food when they ran out. 🙂
Although my daughter grew up in Wisconsin she’s been living down in Charleston SC for a while. When she came up for a visit this fall she looked out the window at my critter feeder and practically fell down laughing over how fat the squirrels were. Apparently they don’t chub up in warmer climes and she’d forgotten what it looked like.
I wonder how much of the chubbiness was due to their fluffing out their fur to combat the cold.
“Hey! How about some service here?!”
Yes, but are your nipples exploding with delight? How many eels in your hovercraft?
b&
can guys have pulchritude?
Here it isas a gif!
My hovercraft is full of eels = which way to the RR station

Knowing the word “hovercraft” and “eels” in multiple languages has a useful but narrow application.
never hurts to be prepared…
… for eating jellied hovercraft while taking a cross-channel eel?
In the south we try to ward them off in favor of the birds. For 20 years I had no squirrels, and as a gardener (they dig up and eat bulbs), was very happy about that. But they showed up as area habitat was squeezed. I don’t begrudge them a livelihood. 🙂
I’m glad that you clarified which nut the squirrel was looking at.
“My squirrels are fat.”
Sounds like one of those bad foreign language translations. I think this is probably what I would accidentally and unknowingly say in Hungarian when trying to say hi to someone :-0
Meanwhile, thinking back to the pain post, do you have Squire Feeding Tongs now to avoid squirrel bites?
I think his little nose might be pressed up to the glass. You are the food God!
Christmas is coming, the squirrels are getting fat…
The fox squirrels of Ann Arbor Michigan were the fattest I’ve ever seen. I loved watching the fat buggers trying to scamper like they do the rest of the year–imagine woodchucks trying to move like squirrels.
“This guy’s pulchritude”? I can see you aren’t one of those ‘dictionary atheists’!
Problematic fat-shaming in this post

I hope you have a student/ colleague/ minion lined up to keep the noms being delivered while you’re away travelling?
