Good Squirrel/Bad Squirrel

A good squirrel is one you can wear around your neck.


WendyB's haiku-inspiring silver Squirrel Necklace is available for $125
Click photo to purchase


A bad squirrel is one that invades my personal space while I am sitting outside minding my own damn business.

"This squirrel is a little closer than normal."


"Uh-oh, he sees me."

"That is close enough, buddy."


"RUN AWAY!"

As always, don't forget to check out my other blog. There was a new blog post today, and if you don't read it, I'll tell the rabid squirrel where you live. I still have your address from when I egged your house. Yeah, I'm playing hardball. I'm not ashamed.

UPDATED TO ADD: Note the horrible bald patches on the squirrel in the last photo. Also, I was not zooming in! He was really that close. Him and his mange.

    Here in NC we think of squirrels differently. Ours are cute and frolic in the clover along with the bunnies and birds.

    oooh, scary. He looks a lot like the one that tortures my cats on the fire escape, strutting around with his big fluffy tail. These city squirrels are nervy.

    There are no bad squirrels. It is juts the bad nuts that make them go bad. Macadamia nuts are, as I am sure you know, a gateway drug.

    There was a squirrel all of 2 feel from me when I was on a swing set in a sand box 2 weeks ago.

    Very brazen of that squirrel.

    Squirrels are cool as long as they don't eat all the tomato plants... and they do.

    YES the Clothes Horse is too right. It's the sign of the apocalpse!

    But the necklace is adorable. It looks almost as wonderful as my perfect woolf.

    I swear I'm not lying when I tell you that I've made a squirrel sculpture.

    Actually someone else did the art, sculpted it and molded it but I was in charge.

    This post is both hysterical and adorable! Why do NYC squirrels alway shave a bald spot??

    Your necklace is fab, WB!

    This squirrel looks like he learned his brazen tactics from his many cousins at the University of British Columbia.

    P.S. Still loving my squirrel necklace!

    i totally agree! i was attacked by a squirrel once in college. i was outside cramming for finals, eating a snickers bar and drinking a pepsi. that damn squirrel climbed up my back and tried to nab my candy bar. I WENT BERSERK. i think they are very suspicious creatures, but i can handle them in jewelry format. ;)

    Hee hee hee, when I first read the opening sentence before the photo had loaded I thought- 'Oh, Wendy's brave putting fur on her blog!'
    I liked what I saw even better, very humorous,very cute.

    Rats with bushy tails, WendyB! Well, except for the one on your necklace- that's just cute!

    Dip it in silver and put it on a chain - it could be the next evolution of your jewellery line - the taxidermy collection.

    lol, nope, i don't think i've ever seen a platypus either! (except in a zoo...) they're a bit shy. i guess possums would be the closest thing we have to squirrels. they're bloody everywhere. one mistook my leg for a tree one - bloody hurt! they are quite cute though:

    So, I'm guessing that the good-looking squirrel necklace is sort like that old saw, If the horse bucks you off, get right back on. Or something like that. I mean you've brilliantly overcome your exposure to the balding city squirrel, WendyB. Way to go!

    The only difference between a squirrel and a rat is a fluffy tail. Yuck.

    You really should move down South. The squirrels here are big and fat and will share some nuts with you. Wait...that's the local drunk guy. I always get them confused. My bad.
