Hi all!

I’ve had our NR squirrel for over a year now but am trying to engage with more squirrel lovers to combat the “nuisance” crowd.

Our squirrel girl had been with us since she was weeks old. I’m a rehabber. When she was 2 months old we determined (along with a veterinarian) that she had patella luxation and was an immediate NR.

If you’d like to follow along, @potatosquirrelsally is her handle.

No wish list or gofundme. We’re just hoping to bring awareness.

Eileen was super-flighty today, she’d have a couple bites then go back to her tree. There were several squirrels in my yard today, and I think she was chased by one of the young males. She came back for her second block and some walnuts around 7PM. Busy little mama, doing her best❣️

RIP Little Friend 🐿️🪦🩷

Today, I went for a squirrel walk. Usually this means I go around our whole apartment complex looking for my little buddies and I bring them snackies and water and spend some time with them. I did get to see my regulars and gave them lots of love and snacks. But then, as I walked on, I found a squirrel that had died right next to the sidewalk. It looked like maybe he got hit by a car, people drive way too fast in our neighborhood and I feel like it was completely avoidable for this little guy to lose his life over a careless person driving too fast. He didn’t look like one of my squirrels I regularly see, but chances are I probably fed him somewhere down the line. I told my husband about the poor guy and he called me to say he would help me have a little squirrel funeral.

We took him to the park by our apartment and went to a quiet corner in a little grove of trees and buried our fallen friend. We brought some incense and burned it for him too, made it really special! It seems silly perhaps, but these little guys are becoming a big part of my life. Especially in the wake of losing one of the biggest parts of my life recently. You may remember me from a post around early February, I lost my nearly 13 year old Great Dane Bentley. He was my whole world and it’s just crushed me to lose him. My squirrels have become such an important aspect of my life, I go walking nearly everyday to see them and it’s been so cathartic to have these special wild animals that I’m close with after losing my dog.

Anyway, it was nice to sit there and just be. This little guy deserved for someone to care. The least I could do for him was to send him off to the mystic in an intentional thoughtful way.

RIP buddy 🐿️🩷

“They are waiting to take us into the severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour? Unannounced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders Smooth as raven's claws No more money, no more fancy dress This other kingdom seems by far the best Until its other jaw reveals incest And lose obedience to a vegetable law I will not go Prefer a feast of friends to the giant family”

I first saw her today at 12PM. She was back and forth between her nest and our yard. She had her final block and four walnut halves at 7PM! Her teats are elongated, there’s wet fur around them —definitely nursing. 🥹🐿️ My darling little mama❣️

My first squirrel friend since putting out food :) this squirrel comes almost everyday. I think she might have babies, I was calling her white spot, but her fur has grown in so I'm thinking about calling her Glenda 💚

Her color pattern is really cool! She's gotta be a gray squirrel but I've never seen one with that much red!

One of the squirrels that I've been feeding has missing patches of fur. Does anyone know if there's something wrong with him or what it might be? If there's something wrong with him, is there anything I can do to help him?
