Are you ready? Today is National Squirrel Appreciation Day
Faith informed me that January 21, 2011 is “National Squirrel Appreciation Day.” Remarkably, I’ve never blogged about this. Or I have and I’ve forgotten and it’s in the lost portion of the archives. Either way, I’m posting about it now.
After a bit of googling, I tracked down the origins of this festive day. Apparently, North Carolina Wildlife Rehabilitator Christy Hargrove declared January 21 to be Squirrel Appreciation Day back in 2001. I can’t find any evidence that this has been declared an official holiday anywhere, but you can still celebrate if you want, I won’t stop you.
I might mock you, but I won’t stop you.
Wait – it’s on the Hallmark website so it must be a real holiday.
The feet are the foundation of the opossum
Pearl is a deceased squirrel who channels prophesies and advice through her (former) human caretaker. Pearl has an extensive website that features more than just her caretaker demonstrating the proper way to give an opossum a pedicure, but it’s the pedicure video that originally caught my attention, so that’s what you get today.
“The most entertaining opossum pedicure tutorial you will watch today, guaranteed.”
After you watch this video, you will feel saner, guaranteed.
