Since the squirrel, now nicknamed Pete, was first seen, it has become a regular fixture at the school but no one has been able to say whether the animal has fallen into purple paint, had a run-in with some purple dye, or whether there is another explanation...

Not again! No spying; it was a story linked at Coast to Coast. :biggrin:

Then again, maybe I'm psychic.
 
I guess I would never have guessed you as the type to be a, psychic purple squirrel reader.:smile:
 
I bet Ivan is one-eyed and one-horned too.
 
Somehow this thread took an ugly turn...:rolleyes:

Btw, Hypatia, that is the best dressed chicken that I've ever seen. :biggrin:
