This is the first squirrel I've ever ...@Juandy <br />This is the first squirrel I've ever seen with this white hair. I've seen dogs get white hair on their muzzle, so I'm not surprised by this.<br />-<br /><br />@Icy BC<br />I thought of old squirrels before, but I never thought I would see such evidence of age on one.<br />-<br /><br />@Rainfield<br />Yeah, maybe the squirrel is really Old Man Winter. :)<br />-<br /><br />@Ginnymo<br />I actually thought of Bent Ear when I saw his gray fur. That's why I mentioned his ears in the post. I looked to see if they were bent.<br />-<br /><br />@Wendyytb<br />It's this blog that has helped me develop a love for squirrels too. I never thought of them very much before this. Now I realize what interesting little creatures they are.<br />-<br /><br />@This is not my link<br />I'll be doing videos often from now on. I hope they continue to be fun.<br />-<br /><br />@Webbielady<br />These dried leaves here are soon to be covered in snow. Only rain would be nice right now.<br />-<br /><br />@Sharkbytes<br />I did shake a little bit. I wish I could do a better job with the video. I have another video of a squirrel that I think is unwatchable.<br />-<br /><br />@Fitme<br />It sometimes looks like Disney to me too. I hope Disney puts me in the movie version.<br />-<br /><br />@Poetic Shutterbug<br />The gray hair is the only thing that gives a clue to his age. He moved pretty well. I never noticed gray before either.<br />-<br /><br />@Time Outdoors<br />The hiking socks link is just a kind of advertisement. I don't get anything from it really. It's just a courtesy link because their hiking site brings me a good amount of visitors. I'm just doing it to help them maintain their link site.<br />-<br /><br />@Ann<br />Freeman sounds like my grandfather too, he even shares the same name. That story he tells is based on the truth.<br />-<br /><br />@Bill<br />I think this squirrel has everybody's age beat, at least in squirrel years.<br /><br />It's perfectly fine that you put me on your blogroll. It's considered one of the best compliments in the blog world. Thank you very much. You have an excellent blog that I have come to greatly admire. I'll add you to mine as well.<br />-<br /><br />@Buggys<br />Fox squirrels reportedly live for about 8 to 12 years, so I think Freeman must be somewhere in that range. He's been very lucky to live so long.<br />-<br /><br />@The Ancient Digger<br />If I ever see a squirrel with a walker I might just run. Not before I take plenty of pictures though. :)<br />-<br /><br />@SquirrelQueen<br />Squirrels seem to want to talk with me more and more often now. I hope my relationship stays this good with them.<br />-<br /><br />@Jen<br />The great thing about that gray hair is that I can identify that cute senior citizen very easily now.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-58945073206404771322009-12-12T04:21:16.188-06:002009-12-12T04:21:16.188-06:00Great photos - never really thought about aging sq...Great photos - never really thought about aging squirrels, but you sure can see those white hairs!
