Things We’re Diggin? A Fashionable Squirrel

I love squirrels – but, I’m sorry but this is even too weird for me.  See the story after the jump.

In the early 1940s, a woman in Washington, DC, adopted a squirrel after she found the critter orphaned in a tree. The squirrel, dubbed Tommy Tucker by the family — of which he soon became a part — accompanied the lady of the house on shopping trips, visits to the local children’s hospital, and the like.  She also, it turned out, enjoyed dressing him up in specially made outfits. via life.com

Okay, so you’re trying to tell me some woman thought it’d be cute to play dress up with an orphaned squirrel?  WEIRD.
