Spark and Awwws!

 Furrst the Spark!

McGuffy’s, who was hosting the Sparks, is on hiatus. She says “I truly do believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!

 Now for the AWWW Some Jokes!

Here are some fun facts about squirrels:

Fact One: There are 280 species of squirrel.

Fact Two: Squirrels front teeth never stop growing. They gnaw on nuts and other things to stop them getting too long.

Fact Three: Squirrels live in every part of the world, apart from Australia and Antarctica.

Fact Four: Baby squirrels are called kits.

Fact Five: Squirrels don’t dig up all of the nuts that they bury, which is why we get new trees growing. 

The squirrels around here have been really busy! There is an oak tree just across the street and they have totally de-nuded it of acorns and they have been raiding bird feeders all over town! This week is all about those Yard Rats!
 


And then Shermon and Kozmo got in the game!

280 species and they all suck.

Oh, MY! I almost choked on the snack I was eating...and unbalanced off my chair! Bwaahahahaha!
We have way too many of those rodents, no matter the species:)

And when they carve open a nut...a walnut specifically, they leave it opened on the ground, for some unsuspecting pup or peep to cut their feet on it, OUCH:(

easyweimaraner said...

ooo too much squirrels... you can lose da balance and you need a long pole to get it back ;O)

Pam and Teddy said...

That's a lovely SPARK and it is very true - we make our own balance in our own way. Love the jokes AND that little video is so cute - I wonder if we have any talented dancing squirrels in our backyard?

Hugs, Teddy

Zoolatry said...

Hands are wiggling as we are giggling! Dancing Queen ... dancing squirrels, you are too too funny. Good way to start the week!
(maybe I'd better stop calling little kittens "kits" ...)

Duke said...

We loved the spark and squirrels are such a PAIN!

Lynn and Precious said...

Marv, I see so many squirrels here, so sorry Shermon, I'd love to catch one or 2 or 3. I love the joke you and Shermon told. That dancing squirrel looks like the one I watch all day long running across my patio. Precious

OMD! This is a post made just for us, all about squirrels! That would be terrible having teeth constantly growing, but I guess squirrels know how to keep them short. Nails are tough enough to keep short! Great jokes too! Have a nutty Monday.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

So many squirrels! We just get the plain old grey tree rats here.

Katie Isabella said...

yes, they do.

Katie Isabella said...

The tree rats are voracious...very hungry, this time. They're eating everything not nailed down.

The Florida Furkids said...

One of those hungry squirrels made an appearance on our Sunday Selfies yesterday! We are MOL at today's jokes.

My Mind's Eye said...

I'm pretty nutty most days and am constantly working on my balance
Giggling and hugs

Our squirrels are going crazy planting their nuts all over the yard. We have oak, hickory and black walnut trees on our property so there are plenty of nuts to plant.

Deborah said...

LOL! :D That's adorable! Happy Monday! :) <3

MadSnapper n Beau said...

i have seen many squirrels in all the states i lived in but never a ballet squirrel using his tale as a boa. love it. nothing like a one liner to perk up the spirit...

Sandee said...

Love your Spark. It's ever so true. I have balance.

Love the funnies. I always love to come here and be entertained.

You know how much I love Marv too. I do.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around, a smooch to Marv and a big hug to mom. ♥

Catscue Cat Mom said...

What fun squirrelly facts! Love those jokes, but that dancing squirrel is too funny.

C.L.W.STEP said...

Chester used to be very quick to chase the Evil Squirrel Cartel out of the yard. These days he'll peek out the back door, and if the squirrel leaves, his work is done. I guess that means that at 13 years old, he's retired.

LOL BOL on the jokes!

Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryu said...

Those were fun facts about squirrels! Horses have teeth that grow and grow also!

Purrs,
Tama and Benny

I don't think I can handle squirrel ballet at the moment!

pilch92 said...

Brian's Home Blog said...

That was a nice Spark and some fun squirrel stuff fur sure!

messymimi said...

Balance is hard to achieve, i keep trying.

Gotta love the tree rats, they are most entertaining.

The Island Cats said...

Those were hilarious, Marv! The squirrels around here are really going nuts lately! ~Ernie

Helen said...

We have lots of squirrels, not sure we have 280 species but we do have small red squirrels and larger grey and black squirrels. We also have chipmunks.

Momma Kat and Her Bear Cat (Katherine Kern) said...

That is so true - you don't just fall into balance - you must create it from the ground up!

The Oceanside Animals said...

Lulu (taking notes): "... act ... like ... nut. Got it."

Cathy Keisha said...

Great facts; great jokes! Does anyone know what's happening with McGuffy? Is she she alive? It's been awhile.

meowmeowmans said...

We enjoyed those nutty jokes, and that spark is perfect!

The squirrels are so active this time of year. Getting ready for the long winter, we guess.

carol l mck said...

Definitely an awww photo and quote on balance and fun jokes and photos ~ Awesome! Xo
