The White Squirrel

Postby Mary K » Mon Oct 09, 2006 11:45 am

Actually I am posting this as a test to see if I can post a pic from another site without downloading to my gallery.

This is one of 2 white squirrels in my neighborhood, the other I call Spot cause he/she has a gray spot on the tip of its tail.

I've seen black squirrels, red squirrels, the common squirrel, but I don't think I've ever seen a white one before... is it a specific breed, or is it albino?

Such a cute little squirrel. To quote Flo from Finding Nemo: "I'll call you squishy, you shall be mine, you shall be my squishy." :lol:

Haninging around the Police Dept up here in Shelton, CT is a colony of white squirrels. The whole neighborhood is loaded with them. Things are wierd up here, though. Along the shore we have colonies of monk parakeets. The Electric Co wants to kill em all.

Awwww....cute little squirrel! I haven't seen a white one in years...when I was little, there was a whole colony behind a restaurant we'd go to on the weekends...I loved to watch them.

(Amy, I'm rolling over the squishy quote, that's one of my favorites...along with Dory speaking whale :lol: :lol: :lol: )
