Oh, I'll take any of those three... a live platypus.... *sighs* that'll be the best day of my life. They're like experiments gone ary. I'll name my Stitch.
Beavers... eh.. they're cute. Not quite as cute as squirrels. Next time... I'll find you a beaver. You have to see at least one.

The squirrel clique? Hmm.... *Fellow members of the squirrel clique do not be offended, I love you all*
I think it boils down to:
Us chicks love small furry woodland creatures
Squirrels are cute
Squirrels have MAJOR personality...
umm... and we've had a thing for squirrels since.. wow... MP?

Any thoughts DP?

Squirrels are just plain fun.

They eat from our hands.
Some like to be pet.
Some will even sit on your lap.
Some will even **** their head to the side as if listening intently while you talk to them.
And they're hilarious to watch - it's quite a good laugh to see them cracking peanuts and stuffing their cheeks SO full and then trying to cram the last one in.



Edited to add: I can't believe the word filter covered up "****", when it was meant as a VERB. From www.dictionary.com: "A tilting or jaunty turn upward: the **** of a hat."
