    OH MY GOSHHH! what did u do with this little fellow??? oh GOD that is just so cute! u gotta talk to Pete on my friends group…he’s got a pet squirrel he rescued

  • Jan Piller replied

    The spca came and got him and took care of him. He fell out of the tree and landed on a branch and he was just hanging there. They seemed to think he would do just fine. It’s a little red squirrel. the day after I rescued him, I sold a card of my little red squirrel – Karma!! hehehe

    That’s cute…..that was the size of my squirrel when I rescued him.

  • Jan Piller replied

    Ahhh – you’re the Pete that Carla was talking about! I hope your little guy is doing okay! thanks for stopping to see him and comment!

  • P3T3

    Yeah….I’m the one!!!!...Cyril my Squirrel is great, fantastic pet. Glad to see someone else looks out for them too.

  • Jan Piller replied

    Cyril the squirrell! hahahahaha good name! We put out food for the birds and the squirrels eat it. My dog chases them but doesn’t know what to do when she catches up to them so she stand there staring at them. They barely even run from her anymore. These little red squirrels aren’t native to my area – we have to go north to find them. We have mostly balcks and greys where I live. And they’re all welcome. They hilarious to watch!

    Such a beautiful little one. Good that you got this pic before it was literally taken out of your hands. I suppose you did the right thing, but—- I think we’d probably raise it as part of the family.
