It's an entire field of study. When I worked in our DC office, I often ate lunch at one particular park. I've had a pregnant squirrel beg a bit aggressivly for my lunch, but never had one attack me. Could it have been rabid? p.s. -- please let us (me) know when your radio piece will be, oh, and what station. p.s.s. one native Maryland squirrel is endangered or at least not doing well population-wise. I think it's more of a Chesepeake Bay region squirrel, though. Not exactly urban. -- RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-34646909197491210872007-07-26T07:23:00.000-04:002007-07-26T07:23:00.000-04:00You get all the fun stories, Merujo!

Somewhere out there in Squirrelland is a furry rodent telling/blogging his pals about some chick he met at a Wendy's who TOTALLY freaked when his cuteness tried to embrace you and share a bowl of fresh, hot chili on a lovely summer's eve....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a good laugh yesterday. I needed it. (Which reminds me. I shouldn't read blogs during my lunch break at work. I end up snorting with laughter in vain attempts not to guffaw and then everyone wonders what's wrong with me. Oh, but Lord, it was worth it!)Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-5782525203723825962007-07-25T15:02:00.000-04:002007-07-25T15:02:00.000-04:00Sounds like the squirrels at my college.

Made me not mind the 3rd and 4th floors so much...<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the animal attack- that's some craziness.

My first thought was that I would grab the squirrel and fling him out the window, but that assumes I could even get a hold of him, which probably wouldn't be the case. CRAZY.<BR/><BR/>Chuck, that is strange.

Squirrel attack!<BR/><BR/>I knew someone when I was in the military that would feed squirrels and actually try to get them to crawl up onto her shoulder. I always thought she was very strange.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198762158401756973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-61341968707901296182007-07-25T08:02:00.000-04:002007-07-25T08:02:00.000-04:00What is it with DC area squirrels?

Whenever anyone would leave a building and walk along the concrete path to the parking area, a host of squirrels would appear on the lawns and prance from all directions directly, fearlessly, toward the pedestrian. I never saw anyone feeding them, and they never attacked like Rocky, there, but it was damned freaky! Anyway, glad you survived your experience, Merujo. I think you should, for multiple reasons now, keep your windows closed at that Wendy's...Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432312124675672696noreply@blogger.com
