Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Who'd a thunk it?

Just as I was starting to feel bad for the little rodents - with not being appreciated and all - I find out they have an entire day designated specifically for them. Who started Squirrel Appreciation Day? As it turns out, Christy Hargrove of WNC-Rehab takes credit for founding this special day.

I am the founder of Squirrel Appreciation Day, which was started in 2001. It falls on January 21st, and while there are no official events scheduled, you can help celebrate by putting out extra food for the squirrels.

Extra food? Hey, it's a start. Personally, I believe we should host parties and whatnot. Just don't invite this guy.
