We had a friend wild squirrel. She'd have a litter of babies every year so we nicknamed her "Mama". She'd eat out of our hands, and knock on our windows asking for food, or hang on our screen door. She was so cute. We believe she died because we never saw her again.

@@susannaCdonovan23 I feed the squirrels daily. Have for yrs. Every now and then I will get one that comes to me and eat out of my fingers. I had one once that would follow me then stand up on my leg I could feel his little claws. He would even get up and sit on my mother's knee. I have one now that takes notice when he hears my voice in the house. He waits for me to come out then runs up to me to get fed. It always amazes me how gently they take the food out of my fingers. It's always sad when they disappear. I always miss them. At least we've had the pleasure to take care of them while their here and I'm sure it added a little something to their lives .

I had a similar experience except it was with a raccoon. Found 2 lb pup paralyzed after being hit by a car. You have to be a little more knowledgeable for their care, they have special needs, but I couldn’t have said it better “It’s been a whole awakening of something I didn’t know I needed”. I was always a bit afraid of raccoons. Raccoons are smarter than dogs and almost as smart a rhesus monkey. After having a chance to experience their really very sweet gentle character, I love raccoons and even fewer people understand that.

Neural networks with only a handful of cells are already able to LEARN. And a pond snail has 11,000. A frog has around 16 million. A hamster around 90 million. A rat around 200 million. And then we quickly get into the billions with animals like racoons or dogs. We humans come in at around 86 billion neurons. The relations are crazy. Our brains compared to something like a snail, but also the fact that a snail brain already has 11k neurons and is more than capable of learning...

I couldn't find a parent or nest. I took him home and our family raised him. When he was 6 months we began introducing him to living outside. He kept coming back. One day we saw him with a girlfriend. He withdrew from us and was able to return to the wild.

We have gone 12 years with a Havanese dog, as long as my son and husband don’t get all up close. Every single one of them are allergic to cats, but the four daughters loved having a dog growing up! And now I’ve rescued two guinea pigs and keep them in an area away from those who are allergic. It works because the piggies are in one space, away from everyone. If I didn’t have a family with allergies, I have no idea how many pets I would have!

They appear from time to time, but are elusive. The deer are everywhere, and don't mind my presence much. I brought up the shooting as a way to silence a critic of the fawn rescue. That's it.

How are they different than cats and dogs or any other animal regarded as pets? I mean, we surely have to be careful that not the same neglect/abandonment problems ensue as with those pets.

@Adam Jensen - I don't see much of whatever that "domestication" is supposed to have done. But I see pets with all kinds of different personalities and aims, cats who never want to go outside and are all cuddly as well as cats who want to roam wild in the neighborhood. The same will apply to all kinds of animals, and their choice or origin of habitat may already convey a tendency there. Humans are animals, and in this variety of personality and outlook very much like any animal.

@Adam Jensen They didn't say anything at all about "not knowing" what the meaning of the word domestication is.

Because this little guy will never reproduce, so it's not an evolutionary advantage. No matter how well fed and happy and cared for he is, no matter how long he lives, no matter any other factors in a happy life, if he doesn't breed then the traits are an evolutionary dead end.

The last part of this video is exactly how I would describe parenthood to people who aren’t sure they want kids. I wasn’t a kid person, but now have two, and I literally panic when I think that I might have gone my whole life without that experience, thinking it just wasn’t for me. It’s expanded my whole world in an irreplaceable way, and I didn’t know I needed that, or that it would be such a profound and life-improving choice.

Bone Train no it’s not that simple. It’s really not. It’s years of either emotional, verbal or physical abuse or a combination that contributes to people losing their ability to show love for one another, especially family members. We really don’t know what others have experienced growing up, but it’s well documented that lack of love is formed from previous abuse and not to say that treating people like that is acceptable, they do have a duty to get help, but it’s their own pain coming through. You can read more about it online if you yourself are recovering from an abusive parent. Best of luck ❤️

I have an indoor/outdoor squirrel named Penelope. She used to be more friendly, but can and will bite if you do something to upset her. They can bite to the bone, no problem. We know this personally. You never know how much "wild" you will get in your squirrel, but on average the boys are friendlier. I love my squirrel, but definitely have learned what you can and cannot do around her. If you do get one, just know that they all start out sweet and cuddly, but can change when they get older. Some want to be homebodies, some absolutely have to leave. Some are super sweet like this one, others will literally put you in the hospital. It is a luck of the draw, more or less.

We also rescued a Squirrel as a baby, we think he fell out of a tree or his mother was killed somehow? but anyway, we named him Corny and he was so unique compared to all the other animals we've had or rescued. His personality was amazing and so very trusting but he didn't act that way with people who didn't live in our home? he loved our dogs and bird until he started to get a little older and hit puberty? he changed, he wanted out but was confused because we would take him out and sit under the tree and let him play and think he would decide to venture off on his own/ he tried a few times but always came back and then one day he went up the tree and left for a day ( we were scared for him) but he came back the next day for his breakfast, did this a few times and eventually he stayed away ( guessing he found a mate) Corny was a red Squirrel and we have tons of grey Squirrels around and they weren't very friendly with him, so, we figured he had to travel a bit to find his tribe? but he taught us a lot. we miss him and we're glad to have been able to make sure he was able to grow up safe and happy.
