Had it not been for their dislike for the paparazzi, Jeanner wouldn't have even recognized the aging members of the Eagles on their 113th and "final" reunion tour. Obviously, those turkeys really SHOULD stick a fork in it.

Holy StooL! I knew I was right all along! 8-)

SORRY! We now return you to your regular non-childish programming....

Yo! Clarabelle. Stick out that ~OH SO SVELT~ leg of yours a little more, would you? DARN! Wish I had a thumb to hitch-hike properly!

CT, just as a side-bar to this illustrious contest I want to say how much we enjoyed the photographs of the mother, pups and adopted squirrel.
That was so wonderful to see!
Isn't nature awesome, It's survival,survival, survival, even if you have to lay down with dogs!LOL
Was the photograph recent? I ask because I'm interested if the relationship between the mother and the squirrel is a lasting thing?
That is quite something for sure.

I saw a goose, a dog and a cat all together, supposing-ly doing their neighbourhood watch patrol, on a TV video clip show the other evening. The three of them shown just wandering all over the place together, taking everything in. It was hilarious!
"Horton"

Horton - these are not my dogs or squirrel but the plan is to release the squirrel. I can tell you from personal experience a similar event when I was 10. I found a whole nest of younger squirrels (tails not bushed out yet) downed from a summer storm and we put them with our mother cat and kittens. The cats and squirrels lived outside in a shower house. The mother cat raised them all - we did no bottle feeding. She weaned them all at about the same time. My sister and I collected acorns for the young squirrels. It was not soon after they were weaned they took off to live in the trees with other squirrels. IMO - squirrels are hard-wired via instinct to be squirrels (not puppies or kittens) and once away from the litter of pups or kits they soon forget the experience and return to the natural instincts. In fact, once 'my' squirrels started 'looking' more like squirrels (with bushy tails and leaping into the trees) - the cats forgot they were once litter mates and chased them up the trees (not fully being playful anymore). Each became what they were naturally intended to be - with no confusion.

The squirrel in the photo IMO, is pretty big to still be with the pups and bottle fed - so I can't say if the hard-wired instinct will remain as intact as my squirrels, but my guess it will be OK if they let it outside near their home, if suitably wooded, and feed it nuts and other appropriate squirrel food. I think it would be fine, acting like most other suburban begger squirrels do, filching off feeders, etc. It's not like they should dump it someplace completely devoid of humans, etc.

It either makes it or it doesn't, but had she not taken it in, it would be dead already. I don't think they should be kept as pets IMO. Baby squirrels mature faster than those pups, so she needs to not think they are the one and the same in their requirements and put it outside.

Anyway - back to our esteemed contest.

Where did that crazy bird woman go - did anyone get a good peck at her? :-)

Great photos jeanner, we're just starting to see a revival of wild turkeys in my area, they really are beautiful to see!

So many funny captions! I love posting pics, but it's so hard to choose!

(I have to say that the puppy cuddling with the squirrel is SO droolicious!)

3-legged race (Sarah) & Igor (FTM) got me, too!

Those Halloween get ups are funny as they bounce up and down and it only looks like two people. We had a guy at work come bouncing into a work party on a "pony" and he was dressed as a cow poke. Is that your hubby Brenda?

Yesterday evening, police were tipped off on an illegal Bingo Rally in rural Asia...violators were arrested and transported via the paddy wagon after the rice harvest was complete.

Finally some crazy woman calling herself C3D, her husband and the rest of her gang were rounded up and carted away after the raid and shut down of their headquarters, Camp Nappy.

Good job, RCG! :-)

Aw shucks, thank you chickarickadickadooo+3
Great captions so far, but FTM I don't think it's Asia. ROTFLMSILLYAO!!!!

For "Hit him up the side of the head with your purse and we're off to the casino"
Mrs Horton did the judging. She likes the idea of hitting heads with purses and especially likes casinos.

Second and third place went to Cometose for the "Polish Taxi" and "Travel in Style-Visit the Ukrain to-day".

Sarah Sarah no more sitting in the shoeshine shop!
It's time to post a picture.
Cogratulations to you and all the folks who submitted such wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful, captions.

Thanks for the honor Mrs. Horton.

Immediately, the old man at the counter knew his days were numbered.

LOL! Both are good, but Horton, the ball is back in your court :)

CT, go for it I don't have a photograph to post.
"Horton"

Thanks Horton but it appears interest in the game has fallen off. I can always find a photo but if nobody feels like playing then....

Sorry I had bird-on-the-brain all weekend but I'm ready to play now!

That's what I figured also CT, it seems that interest has dwindled down to the precious few.
But wait!....I hear a sweet tweet, tweet.... yes!..... it's the Jeanner bird.... awoken from her week-end slumber and ready to go.
Good for you Jeanner!

Rack 'em up CT and lets play ball!
