OMG! I am SO jealous!! That's absolutely ADORABLE!! LMAO!!
I'm sorry if you've already posted the 'story' on here, but, considering she seems to already have her own moniker, is this a family friend?
GREAT PICS!
We have a 22 month old Doberman that brings a little gray squirrel that visits our window ledge a few times a day, 'Dobie Treats' (usually a sock or a piece of 'blankie'), desperately trying to make friends!
The squirrel's not having it though but DOES seem equally interested in the dog.
Chloe, Bertha, and George<grin> were abandoned as infants and found their way into our care at the beginning of this Winter. We fed them with an eyedropper when they were infants. They were kept inside for quite some time and then we converted our front entryway to a squirrel home and would let them in occasionally. Just 2 weeks ago or we finally released them. We put nuts out on the patio and would see them out there every day, but it wasn't until 1 week had passed that Chloe started coming up to us again. The last 2 days she is being really social and climbing up on my lap to get nuts and even laying across my shoulders to rest for a minute. It is indeed a very special thing. Squirrels are not meant to be pets and I would never try to keep one......but it is neat that she can come to us on her own terms now. There are other pics back in this thread(posts 52-54ish).
Margie has a bunch of videos up on youtube that show them from very young to after release. Just go the vid below on youtube and click on selfmadedoll to view the others.
