Henri continues to keep her babies hidden, although we can hear them now. I’m pretty confident that we’ll soon see how many she has. She leaves them for longer periods of time, and is spending time relaxing on the porch with us, the cats, and the dogs. The interaction between species really is an amazing thing to witness.






Here’s a few pics from one of our afternoons together. She is a wild squirrel now, and much like a temperamental cat, she chooses when and where she wants interaction. There are days that she is incredibly affectionate and wants petting, and there are other days where she just wants food and a brief hello. Aren’t we all like that, really?
We don’t push her, we just appreciate her presence. I’m still toying with getting her spayed, and really need to start investigating my options (ie: look for an exotic animal vet that will do it). Otherwise, we’ll be rehoming youngsters for the rest of our lives!

Barbara, do you have squirrels in your area? Many people think they are nuisances, but like you, I find them charming and fun. My grandparents had wild squirrels they fed and while they never touched them, they would come up to their feet and beg for a handout and spend time with them on their porch, much like Henri does. They like sunflower seeds and nuts of course! I work to find Henri the organic type so she has every chance to stay healthy :).
