Baby Squirrel

[Driftless]

My neighbor brought over his new pet. He named it Snuggles. It followed him in the house a couple weeks ago. It now has a bed and food bowel. It loves to crawl through its owner's hair and is well behave for a rodent.

My daughter wanted to hold it. I stopped her and showed her the white mark in my right thumbnail. It has been there since I was 13 years old. I found a baby squirrel on the ground and went home to get a ladder. I picked it up and was on the way up the tree with the ladder when the squirrel decided to grab a hold of my right thumb. It bit through the nail and in to my thumb. The neighbor can have his baby squirrel.

I would have had a "small" squirrel dinner that evening.

Nice photos, Len. Cute little animals with some "bite" to them.
