This is going to be a short post. (Mostly because the first time i wrote it I fell asleep :-P)
 

Don't do it little GUY! YOU ARE TOO CUTE!
Don't do it little GUY! YOU ARE TOO CUTE!
Now for about 8 hours ago, I was walking home from school and found myself with a dilemma. Should I walk home the last kilometer or wait 10 min for a bus. For all the active people on this site the answer would be pretty simple, I ended up walking home. Now walking home is something i do quite frequently and it's no biggy. But today it turned out to be bad decision, but let's just say that if you have a light heart stop reading or I'll not make you really sad and ruin your day.  Srsly, I beg you!

So I'd got to around 1/3 of the way home when i noticed something in the trees next to the road, a squirrel. This is not abnormal since there is a thigh dense forest on both sides of the road. And as i passed the squirrel i realized that I was NOT in fact passing the Squirrel. I'd stopped and looked up at the cute and fussy ball of fur like 8 meters away on the other side of the road. 
 
For about 5 mins I just stood there and watched as it jumper back and fourth between two of the trees, until it decided that on a long branch stretching out onto the road.
As this happens i decide that I've seen enough and that i better get going. As i turn i see a car, a land rover, aprox. 50 meters away coming towards me.
This is were I get really sad... as i walked towards the branch, the squirrel jumped. It jumped of the branch and the car drove into it with it's grill. 
DUMP! Kadung,kadung.... and the car drives off, as if he had not seen it.  Coward!

A weirdly appropriate pic
A weirdly appropriate pic
 
I could not be lieve what I had just witnessed. I mean like wow.... that's a once in a lifetime thing, at least to watch it from the outside. In retrospective the squirrel might have tried to take it's own life, even though I can't wrap my head around why. Maybe it was bipolar or just strait up stupid, but such a cute thing does not deserve to die.
Although this was sad, Sidescroller lit up my day when he told me how he had seen a squirrel fly a bird. Yes he is crazy and that's totally not true,but man.... so funny.

I stopped reading after you told me to stop reading, so I can't comment on the rest of the blog. I'm just going to assume it's about you finding out that Superman is actually a squirrel and he went crazy with a lust for power and money and started attacking innocent children.

When cute dies, it bleeds gumdrops...so it's okay.  It's when the gumdrops die that a problem is created.

You had no obligation to move it. Roadkill belongs on the road. It's just a squirrel, it's not that big of a deal.

A few months ago while filling up on gas, I witnessed a squirrel being hunted by a bird. The bird swooped down and grabbed the squirrel lifting it briefly into the air, about 6 or 7 feet, before dropping it. Obviously this bird was not about to give up so easily, it quickly flew back around and once again took aim. At this point the squirrel seemed a bit dazed, but it soon caught a glimpse of the beast flying straight at him and turned to run towards a tree, only it didn't  just run, it zig-zaged. 
While the zig-zag motion increased its chances of dodging the bird, it also slowed it down slightly. But that slight slow down, slowed it down enough for the bird to catch-up just as the squirrel was about to reach the outer edge of the tree. The bird had it for less then a second before they both slammed into the tree. 
 
To this day I wish I had gone to check if the squirrel was alive (I only saw the bird fly out) but I was in a hurry and the tree was across the street. I like to think that the squirrel was fine and lived to tell its kids when it heroically took on the great flying beast...and won.

I've got three words for you: B B Q.
 
I've also got a story about when my friend hit a squirrel that ran out in front of our hire car, just as we drove into Yosemite National Park. Thanks America - we've killed your fauna, now we're just gonna pop back home to Australia. Awww, poor Paul felt so bad about that.

At least it wasn't your cat. I saw my cat being crushed by a car a few years ago, broke my heart to pieces.

This thread reminds me of how much of a mess I will be when my dog eventually dies.
 
I can't bring myself to care for squirrels, though.

that is a sad story :( the squirrel jumped to the range rover.  
 
i have a story of a squirrel. i'm in the basement like usual it is hot so i open the window that is right by me. my cat starts moewing and jumps in the window and having a squirrel in her mouth. i'm looking at it seeing if it's dead or a live i see it breathing. it goes and hides. later that day my dad finds a dead squirrel in the grass so we think that it is the one that was in the basement. the next day i hear chips and to find out that the squirrel is still alive. i spent all day getting it out of the house.

At least that particular squirrel won't be able to contaminate the squirrel gene pool with his stupidity any more than it already has.

I've had three cats get ran over, and not once have they jumped up into the dashboard before getting killed.

This is the proper reaction to have when you hit a small animal with a car:
