Illinois Squirrel Enjoys Entire Hot Dog Bun Just In Time For Baseball Season

Imagine you're at a baseball game this Spring and a few seats over is a squirrel eating a jumbo hot dog just like a human.

Yeah, I can imagine it.  I saw it with my own eyes.

Baseball season is in full swing and just about everybody is getting ready for their favorite teams to come to a stadium near them!  It's always fun to get some hot dogs, nachos, and peanuts to eat during the games.

& wildlife is always willing to take whatever you throw out at the end of the game.

When you thought you'd only see a squirrel eating nuts, wait until you see this.

I was hanging out with some friends in my living room when my friend turned to pet my cat chillin' on the windowsill.  Outside of the window, she spotted a squirrel holding a  hot dog bun the size of the squirrel's whole body.

Normally, you only ever see them in a tree munching on a nut.  I wonder if they put condiments on nuts to give them some extra flavor?

This little guy likes his hot dogs very plain, he doesn't even put ketchup or relish or mustard or peppers on it.  A simple guy I suppose!

I've seen plenty of things a squirrel carries around in it's mouth, but does seeing a squirrel eating a hog dog bun mean Baseball Season has officially begun just like when early Spring arrives after a groundhog doesn't see it's shadow?

Long story short: I can cross this off my bucket list.  Though it was never on there to begin with, it was a sight I guess I had to see to believe.  I'm glad I have the platform to share it with you, too.

Enjoy this video I took of Buns - yes, I named him.
