One of the best if not the best pet I ever had as a kid was a squirrel. I rescued two babies whose mom was killed. One baby died right away but the second lived to tell. He was so young I had to bottle feed him. I was maybe 9 at the time. Georgie stayed in the house and once old enough I would let him out when I left for school and at sundown he was on the doorstep ready to go to bed. I thought it best he play with the other squirrels around who were mostly his cousins anyway. They make great pets much like raccoons.

Very cute. I feed squirrels and chipmunks in my backyard. They love peanuts and sunflower seeds. We have more red ones here and not as many grey ones, maybe because winters are really cold. The red ones are much smaller, but more aggressive and they chase away the big grey ones. I also see hummingbirds, foxes, groundhogs, skunks, porcupines, snakes, moose and raccoons.

Squirrels' stash of winter walnuts causes car chaosReuters ReutersOctober 9, 2019 www.yahoo.com/entertainment/squirrels-stash-winter-walnuts-causes-080741398.html
(Reuters) - Squirreling away supplies for winter took on a whole new meaning for a couple in the United States, after they discovered a hoodful of walnuts and grass in their car.
Holly Persic was driving to a library in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, when she noticed the car seemed strange.
"My wife called me from Northland Library and said that her car smelt like it was burning, and was making a weird sound," Chris Persic said in a Facebook post that has since gone viral.
Holly opened the hood to find an engine full of walnuts neatly packed in grass, presumably stored there by squirrels over the weekend, when the vehicle had been parked in the open.
Chris spent almost an hour cleaning out "over 200 (not an exaggeration) walnuts and grass from under the hood", he continued in the post.
The couple seemed to take the incident in their stride.
"There's definitely an angry squirrel wife right now wondering where all the nuts went", Chris said.
