While biking up the hill the other day, I saw a squirrel tail poking up from a lawn. There was no squirrel attached, but the tail looked as fluffy and alive as though there were. No other body parts were to be seen. The image of a squirrel tail poking up from the grass like a dandilion is an improbable one, don't you think?

Squirrels can and will bury nuts up to 8 inches or so, depending on soil density. One squirrel can have a yard full of buried nuts.

Get hungry, sniff around until you find last months stash, dig a bit and munch!

Greetings. I just added you, 'cause you're quirky and write well. Read Lois Bujold's books if you haven't already--I promise you you will have a ball.

I found a squirrel tail once. Or, to be more precise, my cat the mighty hunter brought it to me as a love offering. I dried it out and attached it to my fedora for a while. It didn't stay bushy. I think I still have it in a game box somewhere, where it can be found and inspire my friends to wonder why it might be needed when playing Stratego...

Welcome, and thanks!

I thought about stopping and taking the squirrel tail, but then I figured it would probably start stinking, and I'm keen on neither maggots nor the fug of decomposition.

The tail is still in the lawn. I passed it again this morning.

I found a dog ear in a gutter once. There was no blood and it looked like it just fell off.

I found a set of pigeon wings. Presumably, it was from a Fallen Pigeon.
