People look at me
like I am a little strange
when I go around talking
to squirrels and rabbits.
That's ok. That's just ok.

Here is Miss Stumpy with her prized possession...a roasted pecan. I gave her three of them. She was quite pleased. Nice on Black.
I was going through old photos and the first time I took her photo was in November of 2022. She has been visiting me for over a year.
Stumpy has lasted the longest of the three squirrels I recognized and named. Van Gogh had a piece missing from one ear, Mr. Grey had a scab on his face and Stumpy has the short tail.
Typically, about half the population of squirrels die each year. Predators like hawks, owls, coyotes, bobcats and snakes eat squirrels. They also succumb to parasites, diseases and falls. Moving cars also threaten squirrels.
A fabulous close-up of your Miss Stumpy! I love her little front paws and the glisten in her eyes! So glad to hear that she is still with you / us! Fav
