It's Pete The Purple Squirrel!!

Naw, you aren't having an acid flashback. This squirrel is actually purple and his name is Pete. Pete the purple squirrel has become a local celebrity at the Meoncross School in Stubbington, Hampshire since he made his first appearance a little while ago. The teachers and students have gotten somewhat close to Pete to see how he got his purpley coat. One teacher said it doesn't look like it's paint, because Pete's entire coat is purple. It's not just in patches.

The Daily Mail got the advice of some animal expert. TV wildlife host Chris Packham said Pete has been hanging out in a building where old ink cartridges are kept. Because of this, he thinks Pete probably chewed on some purple cartridges and then licked himself with it.

Chris said, "Squirrels will chew anything even if it's obviously inedible. He is unlikely to have fallen into paint because that would probably have killed him. I imagine he'll return to his normal grey by spring when he moults."

What the hell kind of stupid reason is that? There has to be a better explanation on why Pete looks like one of Grimace's beady beads. Maybe he fell into my abuelita's hair dye? Or maybe he was in Los Angeles partying with Brit Brit. I'm sure too much PURPLE DRANK will fucking turn your ass purple. Wait. When did Robert Pattinson cut down his magical forest? I think I may have seen a purple squirrel bouncing around in there once or twice....

Whatever the reason is for Pete's purple coat, he's still magically precious. I'm sure he shits blueberries and pisses grape soda pop.

When I lived in Allentown, PA USA (for our international sluts) my friend Scott was able to do this cute little squirrel call.

SWEAR TO G*D. When he would do this little "call", the squirrels would come up to like Noah was passing out tickeys for the Ark.

When did you live in Allentown? I live about 45 min. north of there.

Topic? I want a purple squirrel!

He's purple cause he chewed on ink cartridges? Always a party pooper around ready to burst your bubble. I prefer to think that he's a sweet little freak on nature born of a red mama and a blue papa.

I reserve that honor for city pigeons and beach seagulls.

There was a baby squirrel at the park the other day looking for it's mom and climbing up people's legs. Everyone was freaked out. It's a fucking cute baby squirrel people chill the fuck out.

He totally could have done that to himself. He got into someone's garbage or yard or some scrapyard or something and ate something that turned him purple. I don't think anyone did that to him. he looks pretty wild...

Hi Green is Good,

It looks my cat might pull through but I wanted to let you know I was still thinking of you and your kitty this week.

Icanhascheezeburger has been good this week for some cat therapy.

------------------------------------------------

Wyle E, ICHC had been my therapy these last two weeks. Glad you kitteh is pulling through. It sucks when your pet is sick.

Me and Mr. GIG have been weepy, snot lockers. Still having trouble not looking around for our "Little Old Man Boo" cat.

Thanks for the shout out, Wyle E! Right back at you!

On topic: That's a cute purple squirrel. MK, No cold hearts around here, ya big softy!

Clarisse - I have a similar story, we got a turtle last year for big D. Well, the upkeep of said turtle is a major pain in the fucking ass. Move forward to present day.

Our ever curious cat kepts jumping up on the dresser where the turtle tank was, knocking over the heat lamp. Well, we forgot to shut the door to the play room when we went Christmas shopping a couple weeks ago. After being gone for 5 1/2 hours, we came home to the house full of smoke and the dresser on fire.

So, that said, the pet store was nice enought to take the turtle back and let her live in their huge turtle habitat they have on display.

Fucking cat was almost strangled by the BH.

Had we been gone 15 more minutes, the house would have been on fire.

UGH! Merry Fucking Christmas.

Licked himself... how the fuck does one go about licking ones forehead?
******************
Like a cat does. They lick their paws then they wipe their paws across their forehead. Not as efficient as the direct licking approach but it gets the job done.

Folks are always on about how pigeons are nothing but flying rats.

They got nothing on the grossness of squirrels, a rat with a fluffy tail.

Unless they're purple. Then they're adorable.

Isn't having a surrender fee at an animal asylum kind of counterproductive?

I thought the idea was to *encourage* people to take their animal to the asylum.

This is probably somebody's pet, and he's turned purple from whatever medicine they gave him.

Same thing happened to this Polar Bear:

Yeah he's kind of purple on his forehead too isn't he?

We tie-dyed our dogs tail with vegetable dye once. She was white and I was about 6 I think. Poor dog was mortified.
