Getting Squirrelly in Kennewick

I just spent three delightful days in the Kennewick/Richland/Pasco area, doing comedy at Joker's, opening for the fantastic Susan Rice. More importantly, I found this 50's era rubber squirrel lamp. Here he is in his native habitat: in an antique store, between clackity teeth and a jeweled coin purse.
Spouse thinks he might be a bootleg/miscolored Flower, the twitterpated skunk from Bambi, which might increase its resale value by as much as fifty cents.

Here is the squirrel lamp "in action", having been viciously trapped and relocated to my house in Portland.
