Follow the adventures of Stockton Dupres , as he works to thwart the Kentucky Anti-Squirrel Coalition, utilising the Tree of Time to travel through dimentions and events of historical, and sometimes hysterical, implication.  While there, find the perfect pen (pardon the pun) pal, from the squirrels featured in "Hunks and Honeys from Prison", and get free, well-reasoned and insightful advice from Grumpy (always worth the price!).
Join Cletus, Scary Squirrel World's brilliant science editor; his lovely Cuzin, Luellen; Auntie Frailty; and their kith and kin, in their efforts to educate the public, and prevent the world domination plans of the bushytail hoards!  Filled with fascinating first-person accounts of the nefarious activities of  subversive Sciuridae, and their skwerlhugging slaves (folks just like me!), SSW travels across the country, visiting state and federal parks, exposing treehugging environmentalist for the skwerlverts they are!
What can one say about Alex T. Squirrel?  Tons!  How many squirrels do you know who have run for President of the United States of America?!?  (Shrub stole the 2000 election!  Alex would never have lost to a tree!) I say, if we can elect so many nuts to that office, why not a squirrel?  If there were more squirrels elected to positions of authority, there would be fewer nuts running loose, making life miserable for the rest of the inhabitants of this planet (or other planets, as well!)
Read of Lord of the Squirrels' adventures and education, under the tutelage of Little Mama.  LOTS shares, with a literary style leaning toward the liturgical, his experiences with Little Mama, and the Society of Squirrels he met through her kind intervention.  Visit the memorial pages, where LOTS has provided many people the opportunity to eulogise their friends with precious photos, because Animals are people, too
(sometimes, more so!).
When looking for just the right thing for your nutty friends - both furred and un - here's the perfect one-stop 'net store - The Squirrel Store!  From treehouses and nuts and seeds for your outside friends, to cages and lights for your household companions; from table linens, to socks, to reference reading material; there is even a "department" that provides information on the best care for companion squirrels. You'll love visiting The Squirrel Store!
For the "HOF" in your life (that's "Human Owned by Flyers" - if you didn't already know ...), visit The Flying Squirrel Store.  There, you'll find the wonderful photographs of Leah, a fellow HOF, adding that special something to sweatshirts, totes, mugs, and the all important flyerpad (not to be confused with a common "mouse" pad ...), as well as notecards and framed photographic art.  Leah has a remarkable talent for getting flyers to pose for her camera - some suspect tranquiliser-laced pecans, but there is no proof - Leah is fast becoming the Ansel Adams of the flyer set!  
Maryland's John C.'s wonderful work with an infrared videocamera  recorded the private lives of the wild flying squirrels that moved into the homes John built. Generously sharing his experiences  John's site offers  innovative nestbox designs - of special interest, a multi-chambered box - a useful and remarkably safe abode, with dual access, helping to protect sleeping flyers from sneak snake attacks.  Do visit John's American Kestrel Pages - facinating accounts of the boxes John has established to promote and protect this wonderful "minature" hawk.
Glaucomys.org's Flying Squirrels.com hopes to provide the public with a valuable source of information on the evolution, biology, physiology, and ecology of these wonderful creatures, in their natural setting. Their Grey-Bruce Northern Flying Squirrel Research Project shows photos of their efforts to reintroduce suitable habitat for flying squirrels in Ontario, Canada, and include some useful comparisons of the Northern (G. sabrinus) and Southern (G. volans) flying squirrels..
In the dark forest of virtual mega booksellers, now and again one chances upon a special place - a quiet, sunny glade, where books are not just sold, but loved.  Pogo's Place Books is such a place - proprietor Helen Crow  understands people who love books, and works to help find the out of print and rare books that so enthralled us in our youth, or volumes that contain just the right touch of history and humanity to keep us reading into the wee hours. Visit Helen, and browse the aisles of Pogo's Place.  Remember: "A book in  hand is worth two in the library!"
Visit the virtual home of the very real Merky and associates. Merky's Mom's motto is "My furs are not in storage, or draped across my bed, they are hanging from the cage doors, waiting to be fed."  Sharing her knowledge, gained through the wonderful squirrels she has had the pleasure and privilege of knowing and helping.  Merky's Mom will also introduce you to the beautiful flying squirrels who have shared her heart and her home for many years.
Stop by for a visit - and bring pecans and peanuts, please!
The Greer's have been much blessed; in each other, in their family, and in sharing their home and their hearts with both furred and feathered friends!  Visit Flying Squirrels are for Real, , with its delightful tale and excellent videos of the creatures that share the Greer Homestead.  While there, enjoy watching the web videocam reporting live action from Louisville (this past spring, a robin's family was featured), and peruse the Backyard Bird File, with its audio clips of the various songbirds that visit the Greer's well stocked feeding stations.
Andrew Watts, an eclectic young man who is studying Zoology in Florida, created The Squirrel Mansion as a "virtual" palatial estate for his very real friends.  Andrew has an appreciation for all creatures, especially for all the members of the Order Rodentia.  The mansion's library houses an Encyclopedic Collection  of information on many of the species of the Family Sciuridae that inhabit the globe.  Learn of the similarities, and differences, of the ground squirrels, tree squirrels, and flying squirrels.
