'I thought this was a hoax': Squirrel, 30, dies after attending 'Bubonic Plague party,' doctor says.
"We cared for a 30-year-old Squirrel at Methodist Hospital who told his nurse that he had attended a 'Bubonic Plague party.' ... Just before the squirrel died, he looked at his nurse and said 'I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not.'
