The other day, I visited a friend of mine in the Helderbergs. As I was welcomed in the house, I had to make sure to keep the house dog from ESCAPING the house. As I did so, someone else followed me inside –
A little squirrel.
After the squirrel ran around the house for a few minutes, scaring everybody not named Chuck Miller, and giving the house dog a hard time, I was able to capture the little creature by throwing my coat over it, and then gently picking up the frightened animal.
I was about to take the little guy back outside, when my friend exclaimed, “Wait a minute – I want to get a picture of this for Facebook.” Next thing I know, I’m holding on to a little timid squirrel – while my friend is snagging a cell phone camera.
Which is the photo you see here.
Oh, and by the way, after the photo was taken, I put the squirrel back down on the ground, and it scampered away.
So have at it, people… come up with a good caption for this photograph.

SN – That is the cutest picture I have ever seen, and I totally have images of “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation” running through my head. I’d have wanted a facebook photo, too.
You’re a hero, Chuck Miller. 🙂

Just as a dog biting a man is not news, a squirrel holding a nut is similarly no big deal. However…

I have a pregnant squirrel stopping wait and waiting for peanuts and additional sunflower seeds every day. Perhaps I can call that: How to Train Humans?
