Where do I get one? I hate doing windows.

I need the neighborhood squackers to learn this trick! The only one that visits me likes to hide his stash in my window frame and rub his tail on the glass.
"Hoser! Wash my wind'r!"

Wow... that was fast! I'm still laughing at it.

I love the bonus finger pads... imagine little fingerprints all over the window when the guy is done!

Laura J, I know! Those paws are awesome!

Does anyone know if this lil' dude is supposed to only have four fingers? I hope he wasn't in some horrible accident. . .

Not to be a Nuff or nuffin', but this is just a little bit creepy. Why would a squirrel be reduced to licking condensation off a window, instead of drinking water in whatever way is normal for squirrels? (How *do* squirrels normally drink water, anyway?)

 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 03:04 AM

That shows how hard a squirrel-life is

We all should help the wild animals with some bowl of water and nuts : )

 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 03:24 AM

my cats lick anything with condensation on it - glasses, windows - and they've got lots of fresh water. just curiosity, i guess...

Wow, I just looked at the photset on flickr and he's quite the gregarious fellow!

I love the shots of him in mid-jump!

I have a skwerl that lives outside our front door, and he and I have a relationship forming. He's stopped yelling "hey, hey hey" at me and just lays on his belly and watches me suspiciously now.

acelightning -- I doubt he's been 'reduced' to anything. Squirrels rarely are. They just take what they like, when they like, in my experience (on a college campus). Like window condensation. Or smoothie cups. Or my half-finished breakfast sandwich that I'd just put down for a second.

Kara
 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 04:56 AM

hahaha! lmao! too cute! :)
I've seen children do this on display cases at jewelry stores...:-$

 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 05:12 AM

I agree with you, Kara... I was eating lunch on campus back in the day, reading a book... looked down and found a squirrel had climbed up in my lap and was helping himself to my PB&J.

At that point, I just let him have the sandwich. :P Skwerrls take what they want.

I couldn't use this service - it would just make the windows worse due to the number of nose prints inside (from the dog of course)

*Trying desperately to call the nuber to talk to Tony but finding the line busy all the time... wonder why...* :)

SaDiablo, no need to worry, squirrels have 4 toes in their front feet and 5 in their back feet, so that paw is totally ok.

that is sooo funny! I would hire them, just to see that tounge in person!

 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 05:45 AM

This skwerl has refined taste. He'll take his mineral water on glass - thankyouverymuch.

Puddles in pavement and dirt are for the chipmunks!

A little to the left,
A little to the right,
Now lick and lick
with all your might!

I used to have window boxes facing the backyard in my former apartment. The flowers I'd planted took root, and really looked pretty for awhile. Then, I noticed them starting to gradually disappear. The culprits: two squirrels that loved to take sunbaths in the boxes! They'd roll and turn over the earth, making a complete mess, and also chomping down the flowers as an added treat. After that, I just let them be, and put out some water for them, and seed for the birds. Nice memories.

(Brought to mind a song I learned long ago in grade school :
"Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
with your bushy tail...")

Skwerls know--condensation is some the best, cleanest water--as long as you're not licking it off a very dirty window...

i luvs the leetle sqwerel handsies.

sqwerels are so silly!!! :) love them.

Why cats and I guess squirells don't drink tap water and seem to drink from dirty souces (drains puddles) is they don't like the taste of Flouride, which has been introduced to most potable water here in the UK.

The Hon Gladys Anstruther
 |  Sep 28, 2007 at 07:20 AM

I once had a dog who would only drink out of the pipe leading from the kitchen sink to the drain, in spite of the fact that she always had a bowl of clean water handy. She used to stand up against the sink when she was thirsty and I would turn the tap on. She would then race outside and lap the clean water coming out of the pipe. Our next door neighbour's cat only drinks out of a bowl filled with ornamental pebbles kept on a window ledge even though she always has a bowl of clean water next to her food dish in the kitchen. I mean ter say, we co-operate with the critters as well. Sheesshh. Humans!

I do believe that condensation and running water is instinctually cleaner than standing water.

I apparently have a dirty mind as my first impression was "who's doing an erotic squerl movie?" Did we censor the pic where he leans his entire body against the glass next?

When I was staying at a friend's we were woken up by skwerl yellings. We looked out, and saw a kitteh staring up a tree, with a skwerl yelling at it up the tree. There were 4 other skwerls going neener neener behind kitteh, but kitteh didn't notice ...

It wasn't a very bright kitteh.

I can't believe I'm the first to suggest this, but EVERYBODY SING ALONG:

What's my line, I'm happy cleanin' windows...
Take my time, I'll see you when my love grows...
Baby don't let it slide, I'm a working squirrel in my prime...

Cleaning windows! (horns!)
Number hundred and thirty-six...!

All Van Morrison fans and squirrel lovers rejoice!!!

One of our cats refuses to drink from the water bowl until someone runs fresh water in it... then he goes outside and drinks from the ground-level birdbath. "Maybe it's bird flavored." Bird **** flavored, yeah.... And the youngster licks the bathroom window after one of us showers....

Tina Rhea
 |  Sep 29, 2007 at 12:08 PM

Also reminds me of the shower scene from Psycho.

My dog lurves to hang his heed out the car window when it rains, and lick the side of the car to catch the water droplets.

No, the car is never THAT clean *hangs head in shame,* and I wonder wat people think of me when I drive down the street with my dirty-raindrop-starved pooch vigorously lapping the side of the car.

(yes, he always has clean water in various places around the house and yard - including the toilet. ugh...)
