Quasi the Roadkill Squirrel

It's a well-known fact that we at Our Other Favourites have a soft spot for squirrels. So we nearly creamed our pants* when we came across Quasi, the Roadkill Squirrel and his story:

This poor little handknit squirrel started off as any other cute furry little thing, but somewhere along the way everything went wrong. Named Quasi for the Quasimodo-like hump of his back, he tried to cross the road at the exact wrong time. A animal loving doctor found him and stitched him up. He needs a loving home and someone who can find his beauty inside.

Make him yours, Esmeralda.

US$14.50 from lesjoujou at Etsy.

*though for private consumption, we usually prefer squirrels of the non-roadkill variety. We may be crool bitches but they're just so damn cute.
