Squirrels to Live By #1

“Don’t judge a squirrel until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.”

I know what you’re thinking, squirrels don’t wear shoes, however they used to and boy were they tiny little shoes. The story behind how the squirrel started wearing shoes is full of fantasy, drama, treachery, and dismay. Unfortunately, we really don’t have all the details on the specifics, nor the adequate amount of time or space to share the story. You just need to know that at one point long ago squirrels wore shoes (actually they resembled slippers) and this was during the period that they were trying to get the right to become legal citizens. Like I said before, this is a very strange part of the squirrel’s history and one that cannot fully be addressed in this format. So the shoe wearing squirrel was fighting for rights to become an equal citizen and was constantly under the judgment and scrutiny of others, especially those that were intimidated by their powers. Thankfully there were thoughtful and open-minded individuals that started a campaign and their slogan is where we get this sensible quote which has unfortunately evolved with time. It is regrettable that to this day the squirrel still hasn’t been granted the rights they dearly dreamed to have one day. Alas, the squirrel will live to fight another day!!!
