Has anyone seen this squrrel?



The image was sent to the offices but it was not marked where it was from.

The Erie Native Americans told stories of the Great White Squirrel

"White Squirrels are considered to be sacred signs in several Native American religions, and thus have great spiritual importance in those cultures, and are visited for prayer and other religious ceremonies."

I have seen this squirrel.

As one who has been part of the Greater Cleveland Native American community, I know the legends well. There is also the White Buffalo story, and many other beautiful legends to contemplate, some of which are secret.

I would never reveal the location of this animal.

I would only say that that squirrel really lives in the hearts of those who know what's really important in this often-materialistic and self-absorbed world. Those who are meant to see it, will.

C'mon Gary! Spill the beans! Where is this critter? Some of us have to think about lunch.

There's one in every crowd....

Apparently, there are white squirrel towns.

Well, let's see......

We have black squirrels around Lakewood Park.

Brown squirrels all over the place.

Chipmunks galore..

And now a white squirrel?

Next thing you know, someone will be pulling down all the maple trees, probably citing the "influx" of squirrels from "other neighborhoods".

Someone else will probably cite the white squirrel for vandalizing someone's garden.

Someone else will probably call for 30 more game wardens to deal with this new crisis...

Ah Lakewood! Ya gotta love it...

No. That's not what's going on Gary. AT&T took out the nice trees for their pretty boxes. My theory is the white squirrels are actually contained in those boxes. Yep, and at night, Jeff rides around town in his 'Cuda' with his tin foil hat on and communicates orders to the white squirrels and releases them from the boxes. I am certain that Jeff orders the squirrels to take down any hoops they can find. It's that simple.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Close.

I think the AT&T boxes are causing the white squirrel.

I've been seeing black and brown squirrel for years. Now, we have a white squirrel. There goes the neighborhood. What are we going to do with these new thug squirrels. They have no respect. They will walk right out in into the street and just stand there.

Those aren't brown squirrels, they're Red Squirrels!

And while I haven't seen the white squirrel, there's a baby bunny in our yard that I hope doesn't visit the back yard... because the dogs are fixated on the squirrels and I'd hate to have them get a taste of Hassenpfeffer.

I heard the tree values next to them are all declining... /chuckle

oh no, is the 'Wood becoming a squirrel ghetto? If one of THEM are moving in, there's sure to be more of THOSE white squirrels coming behind them. We better pack up and move to Avon ... I hear they have our kind of squirrels!
