Well said and rare. This is incredible and you can see it is real. He's her best bud for life.

Always wanted a squirrel. Too bad it isn’t legal in PA

love don't know species

It's not a miracle or rare. Take any baby squirrel and raise it and it will love you.

I guess loving a squirrel is safier than loving an anaconda though ;o)

ABSOLUTLEY TOTALLY AGREE, and when you say "all creatures" I hope you include insects that are not dangerous to anyone's well being. Which basically means almost all of them! But if you don't feel that way, I won't hold you to it that you should.

Tapeworms ❤️

expect dolphins fuck dolphins

🥰 ABSOLUTELY! 🥰

Nah, if the squirrel wanted to marry you, that would be a miracle.

Same goes for cats imo

I love this comment. You are a wonderful person😊

@@LindaKayHolevas Thanx so much Linda 🙏🏻

That is a FACT! My animals are my best friends for life.

Beautiful comment! ❤️

I love squirrels to that one is really special

You are absolutely right people don't matter that's why I love animals

I second this

I third this 🥰

Fourth, with no hesitation!

Amen!

We had one when I was a child, they are something

Wow, I didn't know they lived that long. Just cool.

WOW that's amazing I had no idea squirrels could live that long!

God bless your squirrel's soul.

@intriguing Woman Didn't you listen to the video? He had an injured paw and can't survive in the wild any longer. That's why she ultimately let him stay in the house. I went through the same process with a squirrel, Chippy, about 25 years ago ago... trying to convince him he should be a wild squirrel. He eventually stayed away longer and longer until I didn't see him anymore.... at least to know it was him. 😔 He was such a sweet little guy and so much fun! I would willingly have kept him with me but I knew that would be doing him a disservice. We luckily lived on with 1 1/2 acres of wild, untouched woods for him to learn to roam in with the wild squirrels. One time, when we were trying to release him, he had been gone for a couple days and my younger brother went to walk down the road with a friend to his house. They heard rustling in the leaves behind them and then Chippy ran up and scurried up my brother's leg to his shoulder. He used to run back and forth from our front door to the back door waiting for someone to come out that he could pounce on! ☺ Then he would come in for a couple days before the next attempt to "re-wild" him. Lol 😂 The last time I saw him to know it was Chippy, he almost jumped on me from the shelf we had put on "his" tree, but changed his mind and ran up the tree and disappeared. 🐿

@@lauriebennett6257 😮

Yeah, and now that the room is built she can add more squirrels!!! I don't think they have that long of a lifespan. 1-4 years on average.

@@dmrcflyr2 Much longer when they are indoors....easily over 10 years.

@@sbffsbrarbrr wow 10 years

@@dmrcflyr2 I was wondering where they go to the bathroom and how is that dealt with because you can't have them just pooping and peeing all over!

Bunk-A-Boo is awesome , i was surprised to see this 😍 I have a short but funny Bunk-A-Boo video kzfaq.infoPi7dykwmxIA?feature=share

Don't let King Charles kill all the grey squirrels over there.

Yeah! I cried too. It is such a beautiful story.

A guy I know rescued a dehydrated squirrel here in UK and nursed it back to health. I love them - I put my hand on a tree the other day and one came down and rubbed its nose on it. They get an unfair bad rap.

@@williamjordan5554 With respect, it's the red squirrels in UK in danger because they are not immune to the pox the greys carry. The USA greys are way too populous to ever be in danger.

@@Mistersandyrobertson I know. Just pointing out the King's antipathy toward them.

Well said

I eat very little meat anymore. Chicken , but am close to cutting that out as well

Ditto

She's never met my 4th ex. Makes a snake seem hotblooded ...

And so say all of us.

I so agree - why do some people regard animals as inferior?

@@robertp.wainman4094 as an animal lover, I can't understand that either! They are just as part of a family as any other member.

Yes, they most definitely are a part of the family! Usually, I think it's good to accept different points of view.....however in our relationship with animals I firmly believe we are correct. There is such a lot to be learnt about the special bond between human and loved animal! As a matter of 'disclosure' as politicians would say, I'm 'ruled' by TomTom the cat!

it is unusual for a squirrel to chose this, that's what's weird, nobody ever disputed the fact you wrote out, in fact, this woman does exactly that, love and nurture animals

No nooo. No disrespect to this wonderful woman and all that she did. We absolutely need more people like her n her kind heart. Those comments were purely meant in general. How anybody can disregard any animal is a sad thought. 😔 I have many n they are adored 😍

I'm not sure you can call this squirrel 'wild' any longer. It may not be fully domesticated, but it's certainly not feral any more.

When you raise something from a baby you're its parent

Humans are animals too

@@J.Wolf90 the shitty ones 😋. It's their lack of a concept of money honestly that makes them seem so much better. 70% of our bad stuff is about money and like 30% about sex. Most of the negative things animals do are because of slavery to instinct.

I have had a chipmunk jump in my hand to be rescued when his hole flooded. He had seen me put food out enough I guess. It was cold and raining and I put my hand down flat and he jumped on it

How did you get to that point with them? I have squirrels and chipmunks in my yard I would love to be able to become friends with them!

hi, animal behaviorist here! ☺ when you give them treats, that's positive reinforcement. You want to teach them that your presence means food and safety. Google the best treats to use door each species. Put the treats out in a spot near them, and then sit in the yard... but far away from them. Then every day you put the food out and sit a little bit closer for half an hour or so. Until one day they come straight up to you, and eventually they will take it right from your hands. The key is patience and learning what works as you go through the process. I also recommend not staring at them directly at first. use a soft expression, close your eyes, or meditate or pretend to sleep. This will make them less nervous. Every day they will trust you a bit more! Repetition and positive reinforcement are the most powerful tools we have with animals. You got this! Good luck! Ps. I try to not over feed them, so that they don't become completely dependant on my resources lol. That way they still could survive without my food, but its just a fun treat. 😁

What a beautiful comment!

@@MsShandy111 l hope you don't mind me being somewhat personal with you, but when l saw your story, you reminded me of myself. I have lived in seclusion of one sort or another since l was in my late 40s. First, l lived on the Santa Rosa Sound in the panhandle of FL. Then, l ended up in the Smokies for several years & fed & communed w/ raccoons, deer, skunks, opossums, turkeys & cats that had no homes or awful homes. I loved these creatures as family as they seemed to love me. I'm a solitary person, a mystic that has more in common w/ them, than people. I care nothing about material wealth, goods or anything else anymore, though l have been wealthy, even to the extreme of that, most of my life. I'm now 70. Still feeding the creatures around me as they are my family. I find myself having more in common w/ the lovers of animals on sites, than l do w/ anyone else. Sending you good wishes. - Betsy

@@betsyveritas1055 You sound like a great person and I wish you the best. My wife and I take care of a small legion of stray cats as well as 4 of our own. Her dream is to expand and take on more animals but we cant afford to do it. She also had two strokes when she was much younger (age 20) which left one side of her body nearly paralyzed. Life has been challenging but we are happy helping out all the kitties.

@@dasparado HI, Thank you so much for your comments. So sorry about your wife's early strokes. That is incredibly tough. Yes, kitties have been the light of my life to a great extent. I have such a love of them. The pet psychic, Sonia Fitzpatrick & l had a consult once & she explained that l had been a cat thousands of times before becoming human. I found that completely believable because l have such an affinity for them. Thank you for taking care of them. I can't think of anything more worth doing. Take good care of all of you.

@@betsyveritas1055 Thank you so much for your kind comments! Cats are definitely a special animal. My wife is convinced my first cat returned to me in another body a decade after she passed. She showed up the same way my first cat did, looks exactly the same, and has this unique aura about her that I have never seen in other cats. It's quite fascinating. As for your former lives, I always wonder if we go in order from simple life to human, or is it random?

Destroy all soy . Love is love . Personally I find most animals more admirable than humans . I know I am not alone in this thought . I find their relationship beautiful . You should try opening your mind and heart to different perspectives .

I live with a squirrel, I raised from 1week old, her name is Sophia. 5 Guinea Pigs, Freddie, Tasha, Gatsby, Lumi, & Cambria, 1Tabby cat Hendrix. All of us are rejects. Thrown away and abandoned. We share our lives and love as a family. We don't throw each other away. I feel sorry for you.

@Destroy all Soy who cares? Humans are social creatures. If a person needs someone in their lives to keep on living, so be it. Would you say that if it was their wife? Their child? It’s the same thing the end of the day. A squirrel is not less special than anyone else.

Codependency gets a bad rap because it IS bad. It is associated with substance abuse and dysfunction. Loving each other and relying on family is NOT codependency.

@Destroy all Soy your username says a lot. So no surprise you think needing the love of an animal is a weakness. I genuinely feel bad for you.

Woah didn't know that. That's amazing 👏

Thank you! I wAs wondering how long she has with him, good to hear.

20??????? wow

@@toastedsniper9248 They average 12yrs in the wild but in captivity without predators, they can live a whopping 24yrs. Pretty amazing.

That's amazing they can live that long. If they're just rats with fur, I wonder why rats can't live as long. I've wanted a pet rat but knowing they don't live long, I can't bring myself to have one as a pet. Getting close and loving a pet that will just die in a few years is sad.

Why don’t you fix yourself before fixing other people????

I AGREE.. i love squirrels ..i feed mine unsalted peanuts in my yard. They know me but still run away lol

Without a doubt. It is clear to see in how he behaves with her.

I'm sorry.

Im so sorry we love,our furkids like human kids.They say time heals all wounds sadly it doesn't it doesnt it doesn't.It makes it a bit easyer to deal with.

May your little girl squirrel be close always watching over you. Blessings always Mae Princess Godiva(r.i.p Easter 2020) TinkerBelle

If you are able to talk with your Squirrel friend, she would tell you that she wants you to be happy.. she also would tell you she wishes you can find another squirrel friend and to love her and be loved in the same way as she loved you and how she felt you loved her.. so, my friend, try to honor her memory and give love as your first squirrel friend did!! A great hugs for you, lady!!

It is EXTREMELY difficult to feed the babied. Pipettes every 2 hours around the clock. I've done it working at a rehab but if I had never been trained I would certainly have lost any I saved at home. Please don't feel bad. It is a herculean task. At least he felt safe and warm instead of dying the horrible, lonely death outside as an orphan.

And they plant a lot of trees for us.

Well technically they are rodents so they're in the same family but I still love squirrels.

You saying those people are ignorant for saying that shows that you in fact are ignorant. You are basically saying rats are lesser creatures. What a terrible person you are tsk tsk🐀🐀🐀

rats too :)

They are tree rats, but rats are cool. What do you have against rats?

Amen!

All animal lives matter!💜

Insensitive Anti-Black comment. You have more compassion for animals than you do human beings. Something is fundamentally wrong with that. You think you are saying something clever and smart but to quite the contrary. When I see anti- Black rhetoric, it will be called out. I find you grotesque.

@@jblank1862 Woah, hold on cowboy where's the anti-black rhetoric?

@@jblank1862 yikes my dude you are putting a completely different motivate to this comment. “___ lives matter” has simply become apart of internet vernacular, the phrase is being used in a sincere way in a completely non-political context, it is in no way meant as a comparison between squirrels and non-white humans. Maybe you don’t like the phrase having evolved to cover anything other than black people, that’s fair and I can understand why someone might feel that way, but don’t insert malicious and consciously racist intent where there isn’t any. If you have strong opinions about the use of “___ lives matter” outside of the original BLM phrase then yes you’re free to express to someone why you feel they shouldn’t say it in the future, but just accusing them of intentional racism isn’t an effective way to have that conversation.

Black walnuts! Buried in my yard in fall; find them in spring and then I fall.

@@karenlbellmont6560 Gotta watch out for black walnuts. Just like those icicles in the movie, they have been known to kill people. :0D But, they taste oh so good. They make the best cookies and cakes. My grandma would make an applesauce cake with black walnuts in it .... family members would fight for a seat at the table after dinner just to make sure they got a piece of cake. The kids favored the black walnut cookies ..... basically a sugar cookie recipe, but when she put the black walnuts in the dough, they were to die for.

Me too

This is true caring. Well done. Not like the woman un the video who has made him her "baby" and her life...

@@pandora770 she set her squirrel free....it came back after 5 days shaking...it also got into some sort of accident and it's front paw is injured...I hardly consider this fine lady in this video trying to be selfish and keep her squirrel for herself. You hadn't seen the full video obviously.

Fr 😎 dude

goddamn you're foxy 😋

She was a newbie, and she accidentally domesticated him. 😂 It worked out for the little guy, tho.

That's really great 👍 and thanks 😊

F*** sometimes I can get up to 30 kills and hour

They carry diseases, are aggressive and pee everywhere. So, yeah. Other than that they're kinda cute sure

So God gives her a squirrel but gave my mom cancer. Seems like a bad deal.

@@ProtoPunk - you're looking at it from an entirely different angle. God has blessed humans with intelligence to fight diseases and to research them so that we could live a long and full life. No other animal on Earth can do that. Diseases are not just confined to humans. If an animal gets a disease there is nothing they can do about it. In that respect you should be thanking God. The animals don't have emergency rooms, or medicines to help with the pain and the suffering. God has given us the ability to make great advancements in medicine to help deal with human suffering. It's unfair to single out a gift that God bestowed on someone simply because you feel like you've been short changed. You're not the only one that has to deal with human grief. But it's wrong to blame God.

@eddiel.4108 100% right. 2 things to remember... EVERYTHING is CONNECTED and therefore either CAUSES or EFFECTS. Also, FREEWILL EXISTS! Can you imagine how sad and ridiculous we would become if we instead were CREATED to be robotso?!.. Every choice already decided for us. Completely incapable of making our own choices, forming our own opinions.

What a lovely comment!

Al Animal need love and respect

The most notable part of your comment is that your son found Stanley in distress and helped him. Good job, mom.

I lost a dare once and so had to eat one I found on the road. That’s my only experience with them. It was pretty good considering.

It's so much fun to see his natural environment inside!

I cannot begin to understand why anyone wouldn't slow down or stop their car if safe to do so.
