We have a new baby at the Sunny House.
Meet Timone, our baby squirrel.
Isn’t he just the most adorable little thing?!
We are smitten in love.
He has quite stolen our hearts away!
He came to us last week from a friend who, sadly, found him after her cat caught his mother.
We are his mama now and he runs around us like we are a tree.
He likes to sit inside our t-shirts with his head poking out.
And he likes t go exploring all over us.
He loves to cuddle too.
He has a favorite place when it’s time to rest. He curls up in my old purse, where it’s tight and warm.
But, when it’s time to play gain, he lets us know.
He is slowly venturing out on his own… and we are proud of him for being so brave.
His favorite food on earth is avocado.
He gets so excited when it’s avocado time that he backs up with his loot until he falls off the table and we have learned to put our hand behind his tail to let him know he’s backed up as far as he can go.
Oh gosh… we are quite the luckiest family in all the world.
We will slowly teach him how to fend for himself and will let him go free in our avocado tree in the back yard when he is grown and the time is right.
Magic Friends, a warning in advance… expect many more photos of baby Timone.
Blessings and magic,
Donni

He is just the cutest little thing! I’m sure you will all make a great squirrel foster family!
We have a wildlife rescue near us and have taken quite a few animals & birds to them. What else does he eat besides avocado? I assume you’re giving him things that he would find in the wild. How did the neighbor catch the baby? How will you teach him to fend for himself/find food/build a nest? He is so adorable!!
So mazing that you have this opportunity. What an experience this will be and a joy to remember for ever!!!! I still miss Lilly. I know that the experience and the learning about him was the best that nature could have offered us. I look forward to seeing many pictures and hearing about your experience.
