It could also be this:

Squirrels can also have  a condition called "Dermatophytosis," ( not to be confused with ringworm that carries the same name,) or a skin fungus. The way you can tell this condition from Mange is the absence of irritation, crusting or rash. There is hair loss, but that is all. Dermatophytosis is caused by a fungus that attacks the shaft of the hair where it emerges from the skin. Since it attacks the hair and causes it to become brittle, the hair breaks off at the skin line and falls off leaving a bald area, but no obvious skin irritation. This condition is common in late Winter and early Spring. The treatment is nutritional support. It's usually not fatal and the squirrel will recover from it over time. Feeding squirrels chunks of raw coconut and raw coconut oil can help, because the Lauric Acid and Capric Acid in the raw coconut oil is anti-fungal. In captivity, I spray a strong solution of Colloidal Silver and apply Raw Coconut Oil topically to this condition also. You can obtain Colloidal Silver and Raw Coconut Oil on our Squirrel Mall Page.

The blog I quote is from a guy in Michigan who is a squirrel nut.  Glad he's local - I could be reaching out to him, lol.

I had a gif, maybe a short viedo, of a cat that 'said' God bless  you, when the owner sneezed.   Usually you can't c and p a video, but this one copied but wouldn't 'play'.    I tried a couple of ways but couldn't get it to work.   Most of the time, if it's a video, you can't c and p.    I can't find a address to copy and paste here.?????

I have to take that last part back.   I did find the addy.  when I went back to watch it again..

Words & Colors

The colors are fantastic, but the words are better.

Compassion is language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

~Mark Twain~

Kindness is in our power even when fondness is not.

~Henry James~

Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret,

for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.

~Robert Brault~

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you ,

not because they are nice but because you are.

Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up.

A good character is the best tombstone.

Those who loved you will remember.

Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.

It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

~Rudyard Kipling~

Don't be yourself — be someone nicer.

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy,

even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

Love your enemies - it will confuse them greatly.

There is one word which may serve as a rule for all one's life — reciprocity.

~Confucius~

Grownups know that little things matter and that relationships are based on respect.

Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.

~Henry James~

The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway.

~Henry Boyle~

When I was young, I admired clever people.

Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

~Abraham Heschel~

If we should deal out justice only in this world, who would escape?

No, it is better to be generous for it gains us gratitude.

~Mark Twain~

Be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak,

because someday in your life you will be all of these.

~George Washington Carver~

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone

who will never be able to repay you.

~John Wooden~

If those who owe us nothing gave us nothing, how poor we would be.

~Antonio Porchia~

You cannot do a kindness too soon for you never know how soon it will be too late.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.

~Winston Churchill

Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.

~Frank A. Clark~

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

~Epictetus~

Don’t let those who take advantage of your generosity

stop you from being generous.

~Author Unknown ~

Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.

~Maya Angelou~

In a world full of people who couldn't care less, be someone who care s more.

~Author Unknown ~

Love thy neighbor and if it requires that you bend the truth, the truth will understand.

I could not stop laughing when looking at the bulldog pics that you posted!  They surely are full of expressions!   Thanks so much for posting them!  I love it when they have their tongue hanging out. 

I took ours most every where that I went and he would sit right on the front seat of my car.  When he got tired his tongue would hang out.  One day I was at a light and the folks in the car next to mine were all looking at me or so I thought and laughing.  Then I realized that poor Buster was asleep sitting up while facing the window and his tongue was hanging out...lol.
