I am Squirrelman!

Mr Squirrel's Diary XII

Forget about Superman, forget about Spiderman...I am the real hero, I am Squirrelman and I have superpowers. It's not only that I can climb my walnut tree at the speed of light, I can rush down the tree head first and my claws stick to the tree like the most sticky glue so that I can't fall down. I can jump from tree to tree and it feels like flying when I stretch out in the air navigating with my tail. I can build myself a home without any help and I survive even the coldest winter. 
Yeah, we all know that. But the real reason why I call myself Squirrelman is that I found myself not one, not two but three different squirrel ladies and they're all staying with me for the moment. Well, nuts to you, I am the king of the world. 




Me and one of my ladies being real life heroes.

...and I know things.

Mr Squirrel's Diary XI

There are things in life that you need.I for example need my freedom. I now have many women in my life, which is good - don't get me wrong. But a squirrel needs to eat a nut once in a while without being disturbed. Sometimes the ladies would play together. I always use this time to get away. I also like to sit on my walnut tree and relax. Humans are lighting fires these days to make food. I hate the smell, it makes me want to throw up. Why do they need to prepare their food when there are delicious nuts everywhere? They are disturbing everyone in the garden with that smell. I have the feeling that they want to destroy the harmony of the place.

Made in Hollywood

Mr Squirrel's Diary X

It's a sunny afternoon. Lady Squirrel and I are chasing each other in my garden. It's exciting. Suddenly, there is a noise. We both look up. There is another female squirrel. Unlike Lady Squirrel, this other female has light fur. She bears a resemblance to me. I am distracted immediately and decide to approach her. Lady Squirrel is also interested in this stranger and after some moments we start chasing each other. Soon Lady Squirrel leaves us and I make a move on the newcomer. She seems interested, so we fight some minutes before we go nuts together. We enjoy the intimate moment to the full. The day couldn't be better. Weeks ago, I was alone, now I have two females in my life. Afterwards, we are sitting next to each other. We are both happy and relaxed and I am listening to the bird's songs. 
Suddenly, there is a noise. I look up. A bird of prey landed on my walnut tree and is looking for prey. We stop moving and pretend to be dead. Lady Squirrel, who is sitting in the walnut tree as well, does the exact same thing. My heart is beating so fast. I hope that he can't see us. Lady S II is watching me anxiously. I don't know what to do. I can't move, so I can't comfort her. After some minutes of stress, the bird of prey flies to another tree in my garden and before we can even realize it, it catches a little titmouse and flies away with the poor little bird. All the other birds in the garden start chirping. They mourn the death of their friend. The twittering of the birds gets louder and louder. We are still motionless and my hard continues beating very fast. A bird got killed in my garden! It could have hit me as well. Life is so unpredictable. I look at Lady S II, she looks lost and scared. We decide to slowly go back to our drey to hide there. What a day! Love, fun, life and death are sometimes just a heartbeat away from one another.

That's what I do. I drink...

Mr Squirrel's Diary IX

Did you know that eating nuts makes you thirsty? Well, you may have noticed that I eat nuts all the time. That's why I have to drink at least once a day. I don't live next to a river or a lake, but in my garden there is this weird little pond on this table tennis table. I go there every day to drink some water. Now that it's getting warmer, I need to drink more. It rains a lot in my city, so the pond is always full of water. The water tastes funny though. I suspect the humans use it for other things then drinking. But I don't care as long as it has water in it every time I'm thirsty. And that happens a lot!
