Speaking of animals passing (first it was Benson, the monster carp, then Chilli the giant bullock) now news reaches me of the death of Dorking's famous albino squirrel.
Now I shouldn't laugh. We all get attached to animals. And some people like squirrels. But something in this article reporting this creature's sad passing made me, well, laugh out loud if I'm honest.
Maybe it's the language used, maybe it's the quotes, maybe it's the way the article has been put together - the tragic tone of it all - but I couldn't help thinking: It's only a bloomin' squirrel.
I particularly like the call for "photos and memories of the squirrel". Nice touch, guys...
random factoid for you tim - only 10 in every one million squirrels are born with albinism
