are you my mother?

Posted by mountainmelody On 5/10/2009 03:36:00 PM
Typically, my encounters with squirrels involve listening to what sounds like dozens of them scuffling in my attic. But yesterday we met a baby squirrel who was much friendlier than that.
This squirrel didn't run when we approached. Actually, he came right up to us and jumped in our hands! He promptly snuggled down and attempted to nap. Very cute!
I don't really need a pet squirrel, though. So we left our new friend in the yard, where I hope he promptly found his real mother.

    Oh wow. I think I would have been tempted, but I know what you mean about not needing a pet squirrel!

    How fun to have him curl up in your hands, though!

    I can't even express my jealousy right now. Should you encounter him again will you please put him in your pocket and bring him to me. I NEED a little squirrel who wants to take a nap in my hand!!!! I'm sure Rachel wouldn't mind! ;)

    I want him! cute! :)
    Of course, when he gets older and he goes with us to SawGrass he might get his feelings hurt when he finds his cousin mounted on the wall! :)
