Exhausted Squirrel Takes A Breather: Photo

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Do you ever come home from work, flop on the sofa or in an easy chair, and wonder if you'll ever get up again? It looks like this squirrel is channeling pooped humans.

Dianne Gamblin of Walnut Creek sent this photo of the squirrel who seems to melt onto the pavers. Dianne writes, "This hilarious photo of an exhausted squirrel was taken at our home in Walnut Creek on the first day of fall by my husband, Doug. Poor little fellow is overwhelmed just thinking about all the acorns to gather before winter’s chill!"

Thanks for sending this adorable photo, Dianne!
