A lot of negativity going on the world this week, but thankfully, we have the residents of the animal kingdom to brighten things up. Even though squirrels are essentially just rats with tails, and have caused a hell of a lot of damage in my attic, they can still be pretty damn cute. Meet Putter:
HOLDEN BEACH, N.C. (AP) – A lucky squirrel gets two small cones of ice cream a day at her favorite North Carolina ice cream shop.
WWAY reported that Putter the squirrel regularly frequents Fantasy Isle Ice Cream and Mini Golf in Holden Beach.
Man, this is what we call ‘living the dream.’ Not a care in the world, Putter doesn’t have bills to pay. No clue about what’s going on outside of Fantasy Isle. And, on top of it all, gets to eat ice cream twice a day and not have to worry about getting fat af.
The shop’s owners told the station that the squirrel started showing up last summer and hasn’t left since.
They started giving the squirrel mini-cones of ice cream with a scoop of vanilla. Now, she comes out of her nest twice a day for a cone.
Let’s stop and think about this for a second. Are squirrels typically known for an affinity for ice cream? No. I don’t think so – that begs the question: is this really a squirrel? We don’t know the shops owners. They could be blind, and Putter could be a baby that has wandered out of the woods to take advantage of their kindness. I have seen The Jungle Book and know for a fact that kids can be raised among animals. If that kid can survive the jungle and a literal fight with live tigers, I think the woods of North Carolina are manageable.
Stay woke.
“She’s quite the little character,” said owner Scott Martin. “She actually plays golf with the kids. She will run around the golf course and play with the golf balls. She’s a cute little mascot. We are blessed to have her.”
Well, now I just flat out don’t believe this. Mainly because golf clubs are way too big for a squirrel to hold and swing. Much less keep score! How can a tiny little rodent handle something as challenging as miniature golf? These people are just trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
This is probably a publicity stunt and Putter is a human in a costume. Companies will do anything to get our attention.
“We put a sign out to let people know she’s part of the family and to limit feeding her. We give her a little treat twice a day — that’s probably enough,” owner Martin told Inside Edition.
You don’t have to worry about me feeding Putter, Fantasy Isle.I know Putter is a human. I’m not dumb. Nice try.
