Photo taken: October 3, 2014
You’ve probably seen pictures of happy squirrels before… but have you ever seen a squirrel that looks as practically giddy with excitement as this fine specimen? A lot of the squirrels I take pictures of seem to be bothered by my intrusion into their daily routines… but not little little guy! He’s not only rocking a big, nut-aided smile… but pumping both of his fists with utter glee! He may start jumping up and down at any moment now. Yes! Yes, I’m finally going to be featured on Evil Squirrel’s Nest! I’ll have to buy five copies for my mother! And now I’m in the photo countdown too? This is totally awesome!!! No, it’s practically swell!!! Woohoo!!!

He really does look rather pleased with himself – A mighty fine specimen of squirrelhood too I might say. I do believe he’s posing just for you!

He’s going to go home and excitedly tell everyone he had his picture taken for The Nest. And all his buddies are going to ask is if he got Mitzi’s autograph…
I believe you caught him in mid cheer. Was the rest of the squirrel squad visible as well?
No. If there were squirrels doing backflips or the splits, it had to be up in the tree somewhere…
Either that or he’s spoiling for some fisticuffs…
He looks pretty cheerful for a pugilist, though I might smile if I got to knock somebody’s teeth out…
Maybe he’s the same one that ate the entire basket of birdseed in my flat feeder? I’m pretty sure he was one well-fed squirrel.
Oh, I’m sure the squirrel was waiting around for you to refill it too. He’d gladly eat the entire bag if you left it there for him. Then when he burst open, the birds would have something for themselves…
I love the signing with his little paws to go along with the big smile! 🐿
He’s really getting into having his picture taken. Much, MUCH happier than I’d be….
