Where Do Squirrels Go to Die?
During the most recent snow storm I noticed dozens of squirrels scurrying about, racing up trees, digging for a morsel of anything that was not frozen, seemingly as happy in the snow as they are sunbathing on the roof in the summer. I though to myself, what a great life a squirrel has…no stress, no responsibility, they seem to be happy running joyously with no particular place to go…and then it dawned on me, where do squirrels go to die? I began to think of all the squirrels that live around my house and realized I have never seen a dead one! Do they, like elephants have a special place they go to die? Somewhere so remote that we don’t stumble on it while running, hiking or shopping? Or do they bury their own in your backyard while you sleep? Perhaps they all commit suicide by drowning in local waterways? Or maybe the reason there are so many little happy squirrels running around, it that they NEVER die!

After my neighbor’s dog killed a small squirrel, she put in on the tope of the fence. SHe noticed that alot of other squirrels were hanging around. SHe went back in about 15 minutes to bury it and it was gone. SHe thinks that the other squirrels carried it off to bury it, Could this be the case?
