ok, has everyone seen this yet? http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/squirrel-portrait-banff-pod.html
seriously, this is too hilarious for words. animals are *way* more clever than we give them credit for, in my opinion. and now there’s this ultra nifty thing called “the squirrelizer“, which allows you to insert that photo-hogging little rodent into your own photos!
we, the gerbilize gals, are challenging our readers to go to this site (http://www.lutralutra.co.uk/squirrelizer/) and “squirrelize” your own photos. then send it in to us, along with whatever little story you want to add (fiction or fact) and we will post it here on the blog as always.
i’ll get everyone started by showing you my own squirrelized pic

here we see that same sneaky squirrel is causing a stir yet again by flooding toronto’s union station! is he gonna start to take responsibility for his actions, or just keep going with that “who? what? me?” look of feigned confusion on his face???? seriously, that little scamp created *QUITE* a frustrating commute for me and many other riders in the early hours of a sunday morning….

wow! i had NO idea how *huge* this squirrelizer thing was! we’ve got a tonne of hits because of it so far. now here’s hoping that some of those hits turn into ultra rad squirrelized submissions!

The original picture must be the feel-good photo of the year. Even people who hate animals liked that one. As one journo put it “Move over Meercats: There’s a new kid in town”. Rodents rule!
