He may have felt threatened as a result of whatever it was that happened to his back. He didn't know you are the paparazzi of the forest. I learned from you today however not to run from an animal. I always have that initial reaction when getting too close but I will take your advice during future treks.Joanne Olivierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856998108256408734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-64242884267838615942009-12-29T23:46:26.979-06:002009-12-29T23:46:26.979-06:00Next time bring along hair tonic for him to soothe...Next time bring along hair tonic for him to soothe his anger Ratty :) I love his pose on the first picture, looks like he is ready to kungfu attack you any moment :DVanillaSevenhttp://vanillaseven.com/2009/12/30/that-strange-peachy-doornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-24375149095202888512009-12-29T22:35:25.791-06:002009-12-29T22:35:25.791-06:00What a curious thing to see...poor little guy beca...What a curious thing to see...poor little guy because it's a heck of a time of year to have a hole in the old fur coat!!WillOaks Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986825696455165387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-88560592274927624172009-12-29T17:03:37.731-06:002009-12-29T17:03:37.731-06:00glad that he is fine, hope he gets his fur back so...glad that he is fine, hope he gets his fur back soon. i saw a black squirrel in my hike saturday and he was climbing the tree, but then, i was too late since my camera was in my backpack :(betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-70630763188470287992009-12-29T15:37:35.081-06:002009-12-29T15:37:35.081-06:00Aw, poor little guy, I can understand why he would...Aw, poor little guy, I can understand why he would act angry. The first thought that crossed my mind was the same as Ginnymo, it could have been a hawk. Squirrels are tough little critters so hopefully he will be ok.

It does grow back but I've gone to a dermatologist to get shots in my head to encourage regrowth. Maybe this guy should see my doctor...lolAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-11010758265185690742009-12-29T15:04:46.950-06:002009-12-29T15:04:46.950-06:00Poor little guy.
