I love how if the robber had his guns i can tell you for a fact of getting attacked from a squirrel once you have to be john wick to be able to kill it because how quick they are
My squirrel named Kevin wears a diaper. It's the cutest thing ever. He can't be released in a wild because hes blind in one eye and only has 3 and a half legs. He was a little baby that was caught in a fire. It burned his extremities. Didn't think he was gonna make it but we kept bottle feeding him and giving him antibiotics. My wife is a veterinarian and amputated his little burnt foot. He still alive today. He's 2 years old and the happiest little guy ever. ❤
Your wife is living my ideal life - being a veterinarian and saving animals. I'm lowkey jealous. 😫 Edit: also, in case you/her/anybody is interested, I used to have a paralyzed rat that my Dad built a tiny wheelchair for. I also had a hairless rat who he knitted a little sweater for (it gets pretty cold in my country - Canada). I also once rescued a wild rat who'd been attacked by an owl, and he drove him about 6 hours away to a wildlife sanctuary (there are rat sanctuaries in my city now, don't worry).
@@Hollyucinogen That is so cute about your little nakie rat having a sweater 😊 If you don't become a vet there are other (easier) ways to work with animals. You can volunteer at zoos and wildlife rehabilitation clinics and animal rescues and shelters. I became a wildlife biologist and enjoyed many years in the outdoors studying fish and wildlife. There are many seasonal jobs that you don't need advanced degrees or training for too. I'm not as familiar with Canada, but there are likely many government agencies that need field workers. You meet great people too.
I was replying to nexus169 comment, not you. He stated that a human cannot hurt a squirrels because the squirrel will bite the human. I don't know why you are so angry tho
Jesus, I wasn't talking about that squirrel, but A squirrel in general, and I think you know that. If you're that fragile, then you should stay of the internet in the future.
The amount of times I've been harassed by squirrels when I came too close to their home, it makes sense why a domesticated squirrel would protect your home as well. Also that Joey didn't attack the officer investigating, because he saw the two of you communicating and obviously not in a dangerous situation, the same way a dog does.
Spent lots of time in the woods. Squirrels are bad tempered and have quite an extensive profanity vocabulary! I've never been cussed out like I've been cussed by a squirrel! I once had a squirrel stalk me from tree to tree to tree, cussing me out the whole time!
I would’ve changed my mind, too. Squirrels have those giant buck teeth meant for cracking nutshells. I can’t imagine how much damage they could do if they were actively attacking you.
Hit the wrong button , had a pet squirrel ( Rocky ) He would attack any stranger that came into the house! Now I have a dog that doses the same thing, and they both loved to bite!
As kids we lived in a large wooded family compound along the Mississippi River, which had lots of oak trees -- and therefore squirrels. If there were orphaned baby squirrels, my grandparents and parents (dedicated conservationists, even in those days in the early 1950s) had us kids care of them, feed them, until they could be released safely back into the wild. Over the years, we had a yardful of tame squirrel visitors who remembered the care they had received from us.😊
I love those videos where animals get reunited with a previous caregiver. One of a tiger sticks out and he stands up on 2 legs and just hugged the human, rubbing his head and purring. It was so awesome!
This story is as good as the lady that brought a blind cat home from the shelter and on the first night she heard a racket downstairs and found a broken window with some blood. She called the police and a short time later the burglar was apprehended. He was drinking in a bar close by - covered in cat scratches! Great job, Joey!

I suspect Joey is fine with somebody he doesn't know coming in the house so long as "Daddy" is home, and things are friendly. But some stranger comes in when Daddy isn't home, and starts messing around? It's time to bust some nuts.

Joey is a cutie ♥️♥️♥️ I raised a squirrel and he was my baby for 2 years I let him go in my back yard and he made babies and had a great life. The squirrels in my neighborhood had white bellies and my Rhett had an orange belly. There were no white belly squirrels born after his release they all still have orange belly’s for these 20 years. He left a legacy ♥️♥️♥️
that's an absolutely horribly negligent idea if you took a prey animals sense of fear and put them back into the wild, why the hell would you do that? that's a death sentence

@@yumiendercat3685 how did you know God did nothing? One tough issue with religion is that you cannot prove it real even with physical evidence. but you also cannot prove it not real with physical evidence. You have to first believe it, then you will see it. It's what quantum physics is about.

@@kuroneko7022 I thought it was a fun joke obviously, just look at his pic and imagine him being a professor of squirrels! But it's all in good sport :)
@Opossum Chan Not here in Europe where I live, but I may imagine in more suburb middle class areas they get more comfortable and agressive. Because you become what you eat - big nuts.
Hahaha truly! My guy on my farm we've got an ongoing territorial battle between my garden and the squirrels that get a thirst for something other than the pond
Funny as everything. Joey is a hero… I’ve raised several squirrels and mine didn’t like strangers coming in the house. Laverne & Shirley never bit me but they would go after any stranger that came in. So much personality.😂❤
I had a pet squirrel when I was a child. He was the sweetest little guy...had to be or my mom would not have tolerated him in the house. His favorite place to sleep was mom's apron pocket. He would climb up her skirt and crawl in while she did her housework (it was the 50's). I even had pro portraits done with my squirrel. They can be wonderful pets.
My dad brought home an injured baby chipmunk in '94. We named him Alvin, and nursed him back to health, and eventually released him in the wild near our family cabin. He came to visit us for a couple of years after we released him. He would actually come in the cabin and climb on us, or eat out of our hands. He eventually got massive and lost an eye in a fight presumably. He was special.
Choo Choo Chucky and Choo Choo Story channels are full of videos from Canada where a married couple have been feeding wild chipmunks for about five years. They definitely have different personalities. Chucky gets special treatment and comes to the door to eat and socialise with the couple.
I'm going to be an animal rehabilitationist when I get my job, they say not to touch wild animals if you can help it because they will trust you and become dependent and then think it's best to trust others that actually want to harm them, it's best to leave them wild if you can help it. But I'm glad and so pround that your dad nursed the chipmunk back to life. Such bravery and courage to do something so sweet to an innocent creature who means nothing but pure care and love. I'm sorry to hear that he lost an eye, animals deal with more pain than we do. I saw a tail of a squirrel, like the fur part somewhere and I was stunned if the squirrel was surviving without it.
That doesn't surprise me! Several years ago a squirrel chose me as a friend and I don't know why but he would come right up to me, only me and nobody believed me! I love this story
I have the same experience. One particular squirrel comes up to my door and waits for me to respond. I thought the squirrel wanted some nuts, which I have given her a few times, but now the squirrel just seems to want to be in my company. She does not eat any nuts that I put down. It's really weird... :)
I have Marvin! He is very curious around me. When I point at him and say "You're wacky", he jumps around and does tree to ground acrobatics, with spinning back flips n' all! (
How embarrassing knowing that you got attacked and stopped by a squirrel?! He'll be the laughing stock of the state prison! In all seriousness, good job Joey! You rock!
We had a pet squirrel. Raised from a just barely fuzzy pup. We named it Rocky from the cartoon show with Bullwinkle. Rocky was always playing/teasing our cats. They all got along well. When Rocky matured we discovered that he was she! Then the name changed to Rockette. SHE was always very defensive of anyone until we told her they were ok. Then, she would accept them and be her normal squirrel self begging for treats and getting all kinds of attention. At some point, she decide she wanted to make more squirrels and she bolted out the door, made a boy friend and had a family. She would always bring the kids around for treats and attention but, over time, kind of faded away. She was always missed but, we felt better once we had our pet blue jay, named BJ,or course. BJ also played with the cats and was one heck of a door bell. BJ was a clown and would imitate our telephone ringer when we were in the shower. Dare bird! Got the wife out of the shower a dozen time doing that! BJ also would do the Wolf Whistle and Hey You whistle. He did it when the kids were walking home from school and confused the heck out of the girls! The girls first were looking to see who was doing that and then saw BJ on the wife's shoulder. They were instantly tickled to meet him. He lived a long life of about 10 years and in his last few his feathers went from blue and black to almost all white. We had many pets such as above but also a dog, and some turtles and snakes and a brown bat, or two. Yes. We have a very strange family and there is rarely a dull moment in our house. LOL
Michelle Hartnett Very true! Mine will try to attack my boyfriend. I am the only one allowed to enteract with them because I am/was their sole caregiver who raised them and now they are very protective of me and their home.
Michelle Hartnett and some can bite, which you need to be extremely cautious, cause some squirrels do carry diseases, like rabies or the bubonic plague.
Many years ago, a friend of mine had a flying squirrel as a pet. Its favorite spot was the valance curtain next to the sofa. One day, an Avon lady came, sat on the sofa, and opened her case. From habit, the squirrel glided down to her shoulder. Just as the squirrel's toenails touched her shoulder, the squirrel realized she wasn't somebody he knew. The squirrel screamed in her ear and ran away. The Avon lady screamed and ran from the house. My friend's family had to gather up her belongings for her because she refused to go back into the house.
I had a paraplegic squirrel who chased out a friend who was staying in my guest room . She never bothered anyone else so i figured there was something that my squirrel could sense that i couldn't. I trusted her insincts. My friend turned out to be a practicing witch . My squirrel protected my soul. May her memory forever be a blessing🐿
Many many years ago when I lived in Panama City Florida and we used to go up north on the Suwannee River! I had a friend that lived out there had two 35 lb plus red fox squirrels they're quite common in this Southeast! They're also considered a delicacy but I believe they're protected now! The two of those squirrels were absolutely protective of him his property and his automobiles if they didn't know you guess what you weren't getting close to him and those things can be vicious little beasters! But once they knew you they were your best friends and they would defend you as well when you were on the property it was incredible! Thank you for the video
I had a pet skunk from birth. Builders destroyed the nest and my dad took them in to rescue them. Mine was called STINKY. Walked on a leash and was very friendly.♥️
Can confirm! I've had 2 pet squirrels over the years, and they would only ever perch on my dad or myself. God forbid if anyone but us tried to pick them up... Squirrels aren't really 'pack' animals/rodents. They may form very small drays during particularly cold falls/winters, but they generally keep to their own territories outside of mating season. This man was 100% percent accurate: they're a pain, but they're great! Now I'm living with ferrets...
Squirrels can be great pets when raised from young or babies. They are very energetic, but can be litter box trained. They are people specific, not nice to everybody as this article shows!
We had a baby squirrel climb up my moms leg to perch on her shoulder, and he wouldn't stop following us. Since he was such a lil guy, and there was no family around we saw, we took care of him until he was old enough to be on his own. His name was Fritz, one of the best pets we ever had 👍
Exactly. When you're not home they should be locked away because imagine if he didn't. That burglar could have used those guns in another robbing attempt or sold them on the black market.
@@margaretlavender9647 It's called the Second amendment, ....SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." Whatever country your in is sooooo much better I'm sure (sarcasm).
When I was a kid my mom had a platform built right outside of the kitchen window so that she could feed the squirrels while she was cooking. We hung some bells out there and the squirrels would come up and ring the bells to get fed. It was pretty cool
I know it's old but you know, wild squirrels are absolutely terrifying if provoked. I'm a wildlife rehab student and once they get to be a certain size, the center suggests wearing leaver gloves like what you'd wear to handle a small raptor. Nothing is quite as intimidating as a squirrel growling at you and squaring up for a fight. As odd as that sounds, it's true.
I had a pet squirrel 🐿️ since he was a baby. He eventually went back into the wild as an adult. He was the greatest! They are extremely fast agile n very loving.
I had a pet flying squirrel for about 8 years. They are considerably smaller than squirrels like Joey, but like Joey, he was quite a character. He loved to climb up the drapes, jump, and then glide down to the floor. It was amazing to watch him do that.
wow. I never knew what they were until my cat brought one home one day. It didn't look like my cat had hurt the squirrel so I put him back out but I had to google what it was. It was really cute with the huge eyes! I was glad my kitty didn't hurt "em. I bet your squirrel was a lot of fun🤗
@@MiaKatharine oh yes, he was LOTS of fun and he had such an awesome personality. Kudos to your cat for being able to actually catch one because they are lightning fast!
How tragic and cruel. A flying squirrel belongs in the wild and is literally born to glide from tall trees, not drapes surrounded by walls. What's the matter with you?
@@whocares_bearWow, you're a mor*n. But how typical of people like you. You don't think the flying squirrel could have escaped if it wanted? Animals bond with people, just as people bond with each other. And not the creepy bonding people like you do. So tired of idiots like you.
I give the squirrel props however I'm more amazed at the fact that the police recovered stolen property
😂😂😂 Right !
Yeah I'm annoyed they cut out the part where he explained how the cop found who the burglar was.
Lmao same. Around here a while ago the PD actually publicly declared that they were too busy so they wouldn't even investigate home theft anymore...
No shit

This comment is PRICELESS!!!!!
"Does Joey bite?"
"Well, he doesn't usually bite, but you never know because he is a squirrel" 😂
That just cracked me up
And joey also laughed at that. Check.
As a rodent parent, I’ve got some scars on my fingers from angy babies. Chinchillas talk with their teeth.
They are very protective and loyal
The Internet demands security cameras be installed immediately, for the next time!
I would pay to see a video like that. A man being attacked by a squirrel. Now that would be funny.
fr i was looking forward to a video but there wasnt any :(
Oh man that would be so AWESOME !
Go hunting in a tree stand and take a nap. You'll see it first hand lol. Never funny at the time.
I say have security squirrels too
My father had a orphaned squirrel he was raising. In the middle of the night my Fathers house caught fire and the squirrel went crazy. It ran into my Fathers bedroom and ran all over his bed barking and making sure my Father woke up. That squirrel saved my Fathers life..
Wow! 😮😮 praise God for that squirrel. True blessing and miraculous
wow! what a story, I mean, what a squirrel, or both! All living beings have kindness in them with exception of human beings.
Amazing! Truly gods work in play
Not everything good happens because ‘God made it happen!’
Good on that squirrel for their intuition
God did nothing in that situation
@@yumiendercat3685 how did you know God did nothing? One tough issue with religion is that you cannot prove it real even with physical evidence. but you also cannot prove it not real with physical evidence. You have to first believe it, then you will see it. It's what quantum physics is about.
Joey is loyal and adorable💗
Don't mess with squirrels! Lovely story. Joey is brave! ❤❤❤
Squirrels actually make good pets, they remember people andd have a personality all their own
They also make good meals. They taste like old chicken. Dirty little tree rats will devour your gardens and orchards. They make locust seem like a minor nuisance.
@@TruthWillFreeYou They taste like rabbit if you cook em right, cream of mushroom soup in a deep pan will keep it moist. This specific species of fox squirrel is incredibly invasive, anyways, so it's a good thing to hunt them.
@@TruthWillFreeYou you would make for a good meal too if you were cooked right.
That's most animals however most people cant even comprehend.
They have very sharp nails and can stretch thing up idk
What a cutie. Squirrels are EXTREMELY territorial. Thank you Sir, for stowing your firearms in a good safe! You and your Squirrel kept those guns from falling into evil hands.
What are you, a squirrel expert?
@@herrsphinx2120 why ask a question like that on his post? You just couldn’t help being negative.🙄
@@kuroneko7022 I thought it was a fun joke obviously, just look at his pic and imagine him being a professor of squirrels! But it's all in good sport :)
@Opossum Chan Not here in Europe where I live, but I may imagine in more suburb middle class areas they get more comfortable and agressive. Because you become what you eat - big nuts.
Hahaha truly! My guy on my farm we've got an ongoing territorial battle between my garden and the squirrels that get a thirst for something other than the pond
Funny as everything. Joey is a hero… I’ve raised several squirrels and mine didn’t like strangers coming in the house. Laverne & Shirley never bit me but they would go after any stranger that came in. So much personality.😂❤
Good names 😂
Do you have a pet?
"Yea"
Oh thats cool what do you have?
"Squirrel"
What?
"I have a guard squirrel."
Imagine trying to rob a house and getting jumped by a squirrel
🤣😂😂
Lol imagine explaining that to other imates when you go to jail!! LOL
i once had a wild squirrel get into my house. spent an hour trying to chase him out the front door. it was definitely nuts (pardon the pun).
this is probably the most chill man I seen talking about a house burglar
He's from Idaho
@@mbb-- What does this mean? It's common to be burgled in Idaho? Or people are chill about anything there?
@@crystalidentity It was a joke about them being "chill about anything there," although this is true only for some parts
I mean a squirrel isn't going to hang around with someone who isn't chill
@@mbb-- And had a large stockpile of weapons that could have been in the hands of a psycho lol...I would definitely have been a bit more alarmed.
I'm so glad that this video is still around. Made my day! 😅
What an amazing guard having protecting your home! 😃
He's very much a hero, someone he didn't know was in his home when dad wasn't home ❤❤ great job Joey, you're a loyal friend ❤❤❤
To bad it wasn't on video.

It's a squirrel, not Ant-man
I had a pet squirrel when I was a child. He was the sweetest little guy...had to be or my mom would not have tolerated him in the house. His favorite place to sleep was mom's apron pocket. He would climb up her skirt and crawl in while she did her housework (it was the 50's). I even had pro portraits done with my squirrel. They can be wonderful pets.
Why don't you post one of those portraits!
Adorable story. Thanks for sharing.
I had a pet squirrel once, he bit my little brother (non life threatening)..my mom got mad .... so I had to put 16 bullets in him 😔😪
@@dinoman3275 There's not enough ROOM for "16 bullets" on a squirrel, even IF you were that good a shot!
We need to see the portraits!!
that pause before the word "squirrely" is masterful
Aww cute, loyal, smart, and brave! ❤
My dad brought home an injured baby chipmunk in '94. We named him Alvin, and nursed him back to health, and eventually released him in the wild near our family cabin. He came to visit us for a couple of years after we released him. He would actually come in the cabin and climb on us, or eat out of our hands. He eventually got massive and lost an eye in a fight presumably. He was special.
Choo Choo Chucky and Choo Choo Story channels are full of videos from Canada where a married couple have been feeding wild chipmunks for about five years.
They definitely have different personalities.
Chucky gets special treatment and comes to the door to eat and socialise with the couple.
Ours liked to be spoon fed peanut butter.
THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HUMANS….MY FATHER TOLD ME FROM HIS EXPERIENCE…….WARNING ME BIG TIME!!!
I'm going to be an animal rehabilitationist when I get my job, they say not to touch wild animals if you can help it because they will trust you and become dependent and then think it's best to trust others that actually want to harm them, it's best to leave them wild if you can help it. But I'm glad and so pround that your dad nursed the chipmunk back to life. Such bravery and courage to do something so sweet to an innocent creature who means nothing but pure care and love. I'm sorry to hear that he lost an eye, animals deal with more pain than we do. I saw a tail of a squirrel, like the fur part somewhere and I was stunned if the squirrel was surviving without it.
@@conversechryslerqueen💔😞
I only wish there had been security camera footage. This burglary would have gone viral for sure.
That would have been awesome 😂
I was waiting for the home footage, but the story still was good without.
OMG. YES!!!!
That would’ve been awesome!!!
I know !!! Right!? How genius would that have been??! (Honestly surprised there wasn't)
I know right! That's what I clicked on this video for.
I have befriended a few squirrels. Their tiny claws are incredibly sharp. They can rake skin like a hot knife through butter.
A trained attack squirrel - quite frankly that’s amazing!
Squirrels and crows are good people to have on your side. Remember that.
Facts!
They ain't people 😂 feel u tho
Not me walking up to my mom,
“can I have a pet squirrel“
“We have plenty in the front yard, go play with those.”
@@mesmipha4987 they’re not your friends if they’re your pets.
@@kissit012 I mean, it also depends on how well you treat them: rescued animals can be amazing pets and better friends than any human you can find.

Way to Go Joey the Squirrel 🐿️ , Nature's Intelligent Acrobat, Protecting Home and Friend 🎉
You really have to reevaluate your life when your day takes you to a squirrel having to stop you in your tracks
😂
Lmao underrated
OMG!!! _I really have gone nuts_
That doesn't surprise me! Several years ago a squirrel chose me as a friend and I don't know why but he would come right up to me, only me and nobody believed me! I love this story
Aw
XD XD
Rabies?
I have the same experience. One particular squirrel comes up to my door and waits for me to respond. I thought the squirrel wanted some nuts, which I have given her a few times, but now the squirrel just seems to want to be in my company. She does not eat any nuts that I put down. It's really weird... :)
I have Marvin! He is very curious around me. When I point at him and say "You're wacky", he jumps around and does tree to ground acrobatics, with spinning back flips n' all! (
LOL!!! You go, sweet, sweet squirrel!!! What a hero!
Unprecedented and amazing. Joey is a dauntless and valorous animal fellow. Thanks for the story.
How embarrassing knowing that you got attacked and stopped by a squirrel?! He'll be the laughing stock of the state prison!
In all seriousness, good job Joey! You rock!
Definitely.
I hope if the sob gets a jail sentence and someone sticks a shiff in him.
@@leerothman7570 shiff meaning dik

It may seem funny, but I imagine they could get pretty vicious. They are very fast and agile.
I loved the look on the woman's face right before she says 'squirrely'. She's like '*sigh* I've really gotta say it, don't I?'
RIGHT
What’s also funny is her co-anchor silently mouthing the word at the same time 😂
That made the whole story actually I don't think she minded saying it at all it was great pun
I bet the little guy gets into everything.
Lmao didn't notice that
This little squirrel has so much heart🩵 he protected his home, so precious 😮
We had a pet squirrel. Raised from a just barely fuzzy pup. We named it Rocky from the cartoon show with Bullwinkle. Rocky was always playing/teasing our cats. They all got along well. When Rocky matured we discovered that he was she! Then the name changed to Rockette. SHE was always very defensive of anyone until we told her they were ok. Then, she would accept them and be her normal squirrel self begging for treats and getting all kinds of attention. At some point, she decide she wanted to make more squirrels and she bolted out the door, made a boy friend and had a family. She would always bring the kids around for treats and attention but, over time, kind of faded away.
She was always missed but, we felt better once we had our pet blue jay, named BJ,or course. BJ also played with the cats and was one heck of a door bell. BJ was a clown and would imitate our telephone ringer when we were in the shower. Dare bird! Got the wife out of the shower a dozen time doing that! BJ also would do the Wolf Whistle and Hey You whistle. He did it when the kids were walking home from school and confused the heck out of the girls! The girls first were looking to see who was doing that and then saw BJ on the wife's shoulder. They were instantly tickled to meet him. He lived a long life of about 10 years and in his last few his feathers went from blue and black to almost all white.
We had many pets such as above but also a dog, and some turtles and snakes and a brown bat, or two.
Yes. We have a very strange family and there is rarely a dull moment in our house. LOL
*He protect, AND he attack*
But most importantly he love acorns as snacc
What I learned along the way but most importantly he luv whoppers as snacc
He protected AND he attacked
@@paulrevere2928 That's a meme.
@WeeStrom CO Guy Sad to say this was probably one of those rare moments it was worthy.
Squirrels do get very attached to their humans. They will attack some.
Michelle Hartnett Very true! Mine will try to attack my boyfriend. I am the only one allowed to enteract with them because I am/was their sole caregiver who raised them and now they are very protective of me and their home.
Michelle Hartnett .......... squirrels are very very territorial too.
Probably one of the pets I ever had. I tried multiple times to introduce mine back into the wild and she'd follow me back every time.
squirrels are known to attack and kill rattlesnakes. Squirrels are immune to the venom.
Michelle Hartnett and some can bite, which you need to be extremely cautious, cause some squirrels do carry diseases, like rabies or the bubonic plague.
Great story! I loved it so much I had to share this story with my friend's! ❤🌹
I dont know how many times I've watched this adorable video. 🐿
Im so proud to know I have a man with a pet squirrel in my home town.
Lol
Kool
Your claim to fame huh
😂😍
Maybe you can show him your beaver?
Many years ago, a friend of mine had a flying squirrel as a pet. Its favorite spot was the valance curtain next to the sofa. One day, an Avon lady came, sat on the sofa, and opened her case. From habit, the squirrel glided down to her shoulder. Just as the squirrel's toenails touched her shoulder, the squirrel realized she wasn't somebody he knew. The squirrel screamed in her ear and ran away. The Avon lady screamed and ran from the house. My friend's family had to gather up her belongings for her because she refused to go back into the house.
The image is playing in my head, so funny
I can’t stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣😆
@@binitapoudel1 Me too. I almost couldn’t write this for laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pinkyssj4 Me too. Especially the squirrel shocked and screaming 🤣🤣🤣

Oh Joey, he knows who belongs and who doesn’t! We don’t give animals the credit they deserve 💜🙏🏻
First time seeing your video and I want to thank you for sharing and kudos to the squirrel...👍
I wonder how the thief was treated by the inmates once word was spread around?
Busted, all thanks to a squirrel!🤣😂
They named him NUTTS
*insert nut based jokes here...actually on second thought that's probably the last thing you would want to do in prison*
Too funny, I bet he got razzed badly
🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🤣🤣🤣
They probably calling him chip and Dale lol
She shoulda said: "Before things got a little ... nuts."
I thought that's what she was supposed to say
yeah, squirrelly was a little too on the nose.
Missed opportunity
They already used that play on words ... so that would have been lame and redundant.
@@LaurenThompsonIsMyRealName but did they use those choice of words ??? NO ...
I had a paraplegic squirrel who chased out a friend who was staying in my guest room .
She never bothered anyone else so i figured there was something that my squirrel could sense that i couldn't. I trusted her insincts. My friend turned out to be a practicing witch . My squirrel protected my soul. May her memory forever be a blessing🐿
What a great buddy Joey is, awesome!❤
Squirrl said to the Burglar " You Mess with My daddy, You mess with me."

What kind of nuts exactly?
Best story on the internet! How does this *ONLY* have 2 million views?!?
Many many years ago when I lived in Panama City Florida and we used to go up north on the Suwannee River! I had a friend that lived out there had two 35 lb plus red fox squirrels they're quite common in this Southeast! They're also considered a delicacy but I believe they're protected now! The two of those squirrels were absolutely protective of him his property and his automobiles if they didn't know you guess what you weren't getting close to him and those things can be vicious little beasters! But once they knew you they were your best friends and they would defend you as well when you were on the property it was incredible! Thank you for the video
I had a pet skunk from birth. Builders destroyed the nest and my dad took them in to rescue them. Mine was called STINKY. Walked on a leash and was very friendly.♥️
And I bet you never slammed any doors when the skunk was in the same room as you.
Met a skunk in the waiting at the vet. Seemed friendly. Had a nice chat with the owner.
A lady friend in Chicago had 2 big ones, descended. She walked them on leashes, never git mugged. They were fun.
@@Helen-ml3puthe gland where the spray is produced can be removed, their bodies do not smell
I once saw a humorous depiction of the animals lined up to get on Noah's ark. The skunk was given a wide berth.
Squirrels apparently are known to like only one or two people when kept as pets and can be pretty aggressive towards strangers!
Can confirm! I've had 2 pet squirrels over the years, and they would only ever perch on my dad or myself. God forbid if anyone but us tried to pick them up... Squirrels aren't really 'pack' animals/rodents. They may form very small drays during particularly cold falls/winters, but they generally keep to their own territories outside of mating season. This man was 100% percent accurate: they're a pain, but they're great! Now I'm living with ferrets...
Yes, I have pet squirrel. My brother almost lost his finger because he enter my room where my squirrel at
Like chihuahuas
Not in my case, my little fluffy tail friend loves everyone, even when she just meets someone for first time, she's very gentle and friendly
@@dorkmyride interesting
Squirrels can be great pets when raised from young or babies. They are very energetic, but can be litter box trained. They are people specific, not nice to everybody as this article shows!
We had a baby squirrel climb up my moms leg to perch on her shoulder, and he wouldn't stop following us.
Since he was such a lil guy, and there was no family around we saw, we took care of him until he was old enough to be on his own. His name was Fritz, one of the best pets we ever had 👍
I work with Adam. He’s a great guy and a really hard worker. Such a cool story.
That's an awesome comment.
Is he secretly in Anthrax? I feel like he plays for Anthrax.
He seems amazingly nice and together.
How did he acquire Joey?
How is he doing?
Dang! Kudos to this man keeping his guns in a safe. Also, Joey is so awesome!
He's a responsible gun owner when you're home guns should be on you or readily available when you're not home guns should be secured and safely stored
I keep my ak-47 next to me haha
Rest of my guns in a safe
Exactly. When you're not home they should be locked away because imagine if he didn't. That burglar could have used those guns in another robbing attempt or sold them on the black market.
Utterly appalling that American law ,let’s you ordinary people keep them to USE re your homes. No wonder your country is in a mess.
@@margaretlavender9647 It's called the Second amendment, ....SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." Whatever country your in is sooooo much better I'm sure (sarcasm).

That squirre,l also has a cute nose. Looks like a chocolate chip 🥰
Imagine telling other inmates that you got attacked by a rodent and that's how you got caught lmao
It’d be even worse if it’d been a pet rat.
I mean if it's a Capybara makes sense
@@crazycatlady39 or a pet beaver imagine the damage
Thief "yeah a rodent got me"
Inmate "You mean someone snitched on you"?
Thief "yeah that's what happened"
You don't listen very well. The squirrel didn't stop anything. Certainly didn't catch anyone.
I think breaking into someone's home is one of the worst crimes.
This is just great. I hope Joey is still alive and doing well over there in Idaho.
I have a squirrel that taps on my window when I'm a little tardy on food! We're 5 years and counting!
we had one too! She would get very antsy if we took too long. We had to call animal rescue because she got into our roof.
When I was a kid my mom had a platform built right outside of the kitchen window so that she could feed the squirrels while she was cooking. We hung some bells out there and the squirrels would come up and ring the bells to get fed. It was pretty cool
I know it's old but you know, wild squirrels are absolutely terrifying if provoked. I'm a wildlife rehab student and once they get to be a certain size, the center suggests wearing leaver gloves like what you'd wear to handle a small raptor. Nothing is quite as intimidating as a squirrel growling at you and squaring up for a fight. As odd as that sounds, it's true.
I'm honestly amazed the burglar just straight up admitted to breaking in
What a frickin' precious squirrel. 🥺🖤
I love how joyful and happy the man is even though he was robbed! Good job protecting your home, Joey!😗
“Squirrel goes nuts” I know it’s cheesy but I can’t stop laughing 😂
Haha cheesy jokes are on times, the funniest ones :P
Mary you look dead on this girl i dated.... Same last name, she was Puerto Rican and cray cray as cray cray can get ...... Stay away from me.... 😂

I had a pet squirrel 🐿️ since he was a baby. He eventually went back into the wild as an adult. He was the greatest! They are extremely fast agile n very loving.
The squirrel went straight for the burglar's nuts.
Yeah, the squirrel probably ran up his pant leg and it was over.
Hahaha 😂
Lol 😆
The Nut Sack! 😂
I had a pet flying squirrel for about 8 years. They are considerably smaller than squirrels like Joey, but like Joey, he was quite a character. He loved to climb up the drapes, jump, and then glide down to the floor. It was amazing to watch him do that.
wow. I never knew what they were until my cat brought one home one day. It didn't look like my cat had hurt the squirrel so I put him back out but I had to google what it was. It was really cute with the huge eyes! I was glad my kitty didn't hurt "em. I bet your squirrel was a lot of fun🤗
@@MiaKatharine oh yes, he was LOTS of fun and he had such an awesome personality. Kudos to your cat for being able to actually catch one because they are lightning fast!
How tragic and cruel. A flying squirrel belongs in the wild and is literally born to glide from tall trees, not drapes surrounded by walls. What's the matter with you?
@@whocares_bear it was born in captivity by a breeder, genius. STFU.
@@whocares_bearWow, you're a mor*n. But how typical of people like you. You don't think the flying squirrel could have escaped if it wanted? Animals bond with people, just as people bond with each other. And not the creepy bonding people like you do. So tired of idiots like you.
That is so wonderful. He should be given the greatest life!!
I am glad that Joey ❤ Squirrel was NOT murdered. Such a beautiful, cute, sentient soul 😮.
