You guys… I am seriously slacking off. I almost forgot that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day (aka Kolchak’s least favorite holiday).
Shocking, I know. (via gihpy.com)
Thanks for the reminder, Cute Overload.
In honor of this momentous day, I give you a bevy of squirrel-related puns.
You’re welcome. (via giphy.com)
Settle in with a cup of Squirrel Grey Tea (the drink of choice for refined squirrels everywhere) and enjoy this journey through the annals of squirrel history.

Finally, I give you this great moment in squirrel pop culture. My friends, this video is absolutely ridiculous, yet I could not stop laughing while I watched it:
I usually post this one instead (it’s tradition), but I thought I’d change it up today.
Fun fact: if you type the world squirrel too many times, it starts to look like a word you just made up instead of a real word. I’m not even sure that squirrels are real anymore.
Don’t be sad. I’m just kidding. (via giphy.com)
If you’re so inclined, appreciate a squirrel (or a scurry of squirrels) today. (Note to my canine-having and non-thesaurus-owning readers: the word “appreciate” is not a synonym for “chase,” no matter what your dog tries to tell you.)
No chasing? What kind of holiday is this?

LOL… apparently not one created by dogs!
Love the video. Of course, my personal faves are Squirrel with the Pearl Earring and Squirrel with the Dragon Tattoo.
And it wouldn’t be S.A.D. without at least a few bars of this:

That comment was amazing. All of it.
It just got better… Look what I found:

LOL I’m so glad to see you’re celebrating this holiday in a big way 🙂 Would you believe that my pups have never seen a squirrel? Nope, no squirrels here. Poor things.

Oh, wow! I’m sure that Tavish would be happy to give them a crash course in what to do if they do see one. 😉
Squirrel equals chase for Torrey. Thankfully her recall is fairly good, even on the hunt. Thanks for the cuteness today!
Squirrels – Mo’s Achilles heel, for sure!
Also, I’d like to add our famous photo-bombing Banff Squirrel (@Banff_Squirrel) to your list!

Nice!
How could I forgot about Squirrel Appreciation Day! I guess I did spend a good 30 minutes watching a squirrel eat a nut this past weekend. If that isn’t appreciation, I don’t know what is.

That’s most definitely appreciation!
Pierre the Westie sits at the backdoor waiting for a squirrel to touch the ground. He screams, seriously screams like a little girl and runs in circles to go outside. I let him out and he terrorizes the furry little rats back up in their trees. He will sit at the door every evening for an hour which is officially called “Squirrel O’Clock” at our home!

OK, who is hogging all the squirrels. I haven’t seen one in weeks!
