I do not like squirrels at all; they ruined my van so much it would not pass inspection. However, just love these cute pictures, especially the soldier one.
Just out of curiousity, how old was/is your van? Around 2004 or so, a lot of auto manufacturers started using soy based plastics for wiring insulation. I'd read accounts of rats and rabbits going after vehicle wiring and was wondering if squirrels were starting to get into the act as well!
