Saddest Picture Ever

10 years ago

I saw this photo today on Reddit and it made me think of our little one-eyed squirrel who is in danger of losing his home to a chain saw

I know most of you are not fans of squirrels, but this little one-eyed squirrel I have living in the tree outside is so sweet. He's been here so long, he will literally come right up to you if you put down food. I'm actually thinking of putting up a squirrel house for him if they cut down his nesting tree.

The caption on these images said:
"This squirrel used to live in this three. Two weeks ago our neighbours decided to cut it down. This is the first time I have seen him back standing where his house used to be."

Imagine if your house burned down or was destroyed by a hurricane. That must be what he feels like. Yeah, yeah, he's just a squirrel, but he's one of God's creatures, as are we all. He just looks so lost.

I feel bad for the little guy. Is there another tree that he can grow to love?

Yes, there is my chinquapin oak and there are other trees all over. I'm hoping they leave the magnolia tree because that would be a great home for him, since it doesn't lose all its leaves in the fall. I just love seeing him around here, which is why I'm thinking of building him a house. I haven't seen him for days. No doubt the noise of the chain saws has scared him away.

I'd think twice about feeding a squirrel, they can be very aggressive. It's a wild animal and is safest if it's not accustomed to humans.

Oh I think it's wonderful you're building him a home. Way to go! Poor little guy looks so dejected. I used to rehab squirrels and they are adorable little creatures. I love sharing my property with them.

Yeah echobelly ... watch out ... they'll go straight for your jugular vein. Just kidding ... don't flame me.
