Fat squirrel almost got stuck in the chain link fence - no lie!

Honest to goodness I thought this fat little squirrel was going to get stuck in the chain link fence the other morning! He was the fattest I have ever seen - or maybe it was just that he looked fat with his chain link belt girdling his belly - and I was oh so close to him!

(This is of course not the real squirrel I saw, since I didn't have my camera while jogging)

Setting: Early morning in Putnamania.

Act 1: He was running across the ball field....heading towards the fence.

Act 2: I was running around the corner and towards the same spot he was headed.

Act 3: Look of panic as fat squirrel realizes he is stuck in the fence and might get stuck forever (or at least till he loses a pound) with me right there to witness.

Act 4: Fat squirrel gives a final desperate heave and blasts through the fence - like something you might see in a Road Runner and Coyote cartoon.

Act 5: I laugh my fanny off while jogging down the street at 6am.

Lesson learned: It is always worth doing what you don't always want to do (like get up and jog at 5:45am) - you always get something out of life if you look around and appreciate it.

I am a Putnamaniac because I always see something to enjoy around town - even ridiculously fat squirrels!
