This is a story about an enchanting Gray Squirrel we call "The Funny Man". I found this squirrel when he was a newborn on my neighbor's driveway. We raised him and let him go. He still comes to visit us just about every day. Here is a short documentary about how this little soul weaved his way into our hearts.

Squirrels are so cool and they are all smarter the average congressman. 🤓❤🐿
Bob you got that right .👍👍👍😂
But that is not so hard to do ....
Bob Porch 🤗 smarter than the average congressman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pairrynwatson4229 LOL ! You made my morning as I get ready to have my coffee outside while I feed some furry friends.😊Have a great day and holiday.
Oh LOL
Wow I mean........just wow. Now that's a real man. A big strong man, that has respect for all God's creatures. SO much to take away from this lovely story. What an absolutely amazing story of love, trust, companionship and testament to the sentiment "If you love something set it free. If it comes back it's yours. If it doesn't it never was". The fact that they were so unselfish and even though it was so hard for them to let him go, hearing him calling out to the other squirrels from his cage was heartbreaking. Yet seeing him curled up in his Woolen hat in his cage was a lovely moment. As was him busying himself burying his loot for later on. Good bounty to attract some lady squirrels I bet. You can see how gentle and kind his children are as well. Traits passed on from parents who have clearly loved and laughed and shared so much together. Including this bond with their little "funny man". I'm so glad that he comes back to see you all on the daily. But that he has a strength about him now.......that he's 'different.' Like him not wanting to be held as much as he used too when he was living in the house - but this is because, he is wild and he is where he is supposed to be. Yet your bond with him is always supposed to be. Thank you SO much for filming and sharing this. We all loved it. We don't have squirrels in Australia and I just love them. Loved the music too.
🥰🇦🇺💜♥️
U Should Find A Baby Snake
& Raise It...
@@jeffadams9807🤗 I don't think that would be too cool 🐍 That's totally different from a squirrel.
Linda-louise Anthony 🤗 Great Comment!!! It is a great true story of love💟 between a little wild animal being and human beings. I didn't know Australia🇦🇺 had no squirrels‼ God Bless💌
And the comment from Jeff Adams about finding and raising a snake🐍 is utterly ridiculous 🙄😱
God Bless 💜❤
@@pairrynwatson4229 ahh thank you! No we don't have squirrels in Australia. We have Possums. Different from your O'possums, I think there are over 30 different species here native to Australia. The Ring tails are my favourite. They will sometimes come down to take freshly sliced tomato, banana or avocado from you with their young still on their backs. So sweet. They can be a nuisance if they set up in the roof of your home and they're nocturnal they make most of their noise while residents are trying to sleep. But if you place some nesting boxes up in the trees surrounding said property they can usually be encouraged to move out of said roof. I found squirrels to be so engaging and cheeky when I've visited the US. Like they were always running up trees and flipping themselves off the side and then sitting up as of to say "well where is my reward". Just super super clever little beings. I really really enjoyed that little film. 😀
He loves his human family....especially his dad. Thank you Doug for sharing this with us. It made my day!!!
What a beautiful story. Lovely family and what a little cutie-pie. The dog was very understanding too.
Fantastic video……making a grown man cry……well done guys.
I never stopped crying either.
Me too.
Same here… Such a beautiful story….and story teller… 🥹
… how about part 2 ??? P L E A S E ….
Funny how the least amongst us can be so important to so many…Thankyou ❤️
Years ago I raised a gray squirrel my cat had brought to me. He wasn't as furred out as yours but he was still old enough so that he survived. I named him Link, wintered him over and released him in the spring. He was the sweetest, most affectionate thing, just like a cat, never bit me. He used to drape himself over my shoulder and squeak while I scratched his back ❤ ❤
Well said and well done for raising your boy, loving him well and letting him go.
We had a baby squirrel named Earl that survived a long fall from a tree right in front of my brother, sister, and I. He was an amazing squirrel that eventually left for good at his own leisure. Anyway, my point is that he DID bite, but never drew blood. He knew how hard he could bite without hurting. Little s%&t 🐿🤎
How many animals weren’t so lucky after your cat got them?
Cats are wiping out the songbird population. Got a cat? Keep it inside and out of my yard. We have 14 birdhouses.
Sooo adorable! God’s creatures are definitely here for our enjoyment and for us to watch over them.❤Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming connection you have with this amazing little squirrel.🐿️ May you have many more wonderful moments and memories with this beautiful little guy!
amen.. i agree with you
Sometimes a soulmate comes in the form of an animal! The connection between the man and the squirrel is almost palpable. Beautifully filmed and thank you for sharing. ❤
This is a wonderful story! Scientists are not sure how sensitive and feeling squirrels are. This story shows that your little squirrel came back not just for food but for back rubs and playtime! What a lucky and precious little darling!
Beautifully done video! I had a little female squirrel years ago. Her name was Feisty. She had fallen out of a very tall palm tree and landed in another tree that broke her fall. Her mother had been hit by a car in the street. I ended up taking her home. I loved her dearly…SWEETEST little creature! My dog and 2 cats had no problem with her either. Sadly, she got Westnile virus and didn’t survive it. I had her for 4 1/2 years. Had I known then what I know now, I would have released her back to the wild too. I just thought that since she hadn’t had a mom to teach her how to be a squirrel, that she might not survive. I couldn’t bear the thought of that so I kept her. But she ran around the house, and I made a pillow case out of a towel and she slept with me in that right on my chest. I had a bond with her that was different than my other animals. It’s hard to explain. I was devastated when I lost her. Anyone who says negative stuff about squirrels has no idea about them. So smart! And sweet and affectionate and funny! There are a lot of squirrel haters on RUclips. Really sad that they can’t appreciate something so special. Oh well…their loss. Thank you for doing this video. Reminds me of my Feisty and how much I miss her! ❤️❤️❤️
K. Goldstein 🤗 Great Story Also! So Sorry For Your Loss Of Feisty 😢💌
I'm sorry you lost little Feisty !
💖🐿
We have mostly red squirrels in Norway.
They're fun to watch jumping around in the trees. Playing "hide and seek" with themselves or a sibling.
Bursting with energy...
Some squirrels take over empty jack daws' nests.
Or move into hollow trees once inhabited by woodpeckers.
The latter take revenge by helping themselves greedily at the bird feeding buffet...
To make sure no bird or squirrel goes hungry through the sometimes 8 months of winter here, I spend a fortune on food for them...
To avoid old or mouldy bird seeds, I buy the stuff meant for human consumption.
Like unsalted peanuts. Pine nuts. Coconut shavings.
Dried cranberries.
Peeled walnuts, hazel nuts, and pecans.
(All meant as salad toppings).
Plus porridge oats. Barley.
Wheat. Wrinkly old apples.
Lard balls. And dried worms for extra proteine....
Sometimes I suprise them with corn or boiled brown rice.
I think my wild friends actually eat better than some of my neighbours ! 😄
Love from Norway ☃️🇳🇴
Ease up on yourself - she very possibly would not have made it in the 'wild' - consider what happened to her Mother - and all the predators.
She had a good life with you and loved you for it.
I believe You were meant to find her and care for her. 🐿️
I feel sad for you. Here in New Zealand we don't have any little furry animals in our bush. I cant understand how some people in America actually go on squirrel hunts to shoot them, and other animals too
Aw, this is a cute story. My bf just rescued a tiny ground squirrel from a cat's mouth. The squirrel was covered in mites. We're trying to bring it back to health and happiness. He seems to be doing so well. He's just so small he couldn't survive on his own yet. I can see this will be a fulfilling, bitter-sweet journey. Great work with The Funny Man. He is blessed to have been raised by your lovely family.
❤❤❤🐿️🐿️🐿️
How wonderful, his freedom and still a super relationship with the people that helped him 😊
Could have watched this story all day.
It’s amazing how one can bond with a wild animal, sometimes giving you more joy than a human
Wonderful comment Elaine and so true. 😉
This is the type of video to watch if you're feeling low or stressed out with personal problems. It can change your state of mind and sometimes that's all you need to get back into life. Very well done! Thank you!
Sometimes. Not always. I wish it was that easy for me.
so true
Kako je lepa i okretna.
How does your doggo feel about this?
I agree
Some people cannot understand why someone can love squirrels when I look in their eyes all I see is love ❤
That was so touching and well made! I hope Funny Man has many more years of being free and coddled at the same time.
Oh my goodness. I am obsessed with squirrels, which is how I found this found and I cried SO much. Beautifully done and it is incredibly heart warming to see a family love a wild animal so much.
Right there with 'ya!
Me too❤❤
Me three
Me four
🤗 Well, Me Five 😍💌
Such a sweet story. They day the definition of love is to set them free and see if they will return. Funny man definitely loves your family💜
It was such a heart warming story of grey squirrel ❤
I almost cry when the squirrel came back from the wild nature to gentle “funny man”!
Yes! This little creature is really beautiful and cool ! The world is created as to live with this kind of relationship between human and animal ❤
Struggling with the demands of life today. The realities of how we humans treat not only one another but other sentient beings…. it was weighing especially heavily on me this morning. Thank you for taking the time to care for this critter and share your bond. It makes the world just a little bit of a better place. Imagine if we all could do that…..
One year later, this story and the Funny Man still touching someone...♥️ Thank you for allowing us to see how intelligent nature really is...! I'm sure the Funny Man had no idea how huge his legacy would be...!! 🌍 And you are a wonderful bunch of people! We so need more like you... Healthy planet! 💛👍☺️♥️🐿️🐿️🌿
Good video! My wife and I rehab the little guys and gals. We have for several years now. I agree that they have and can give love to us. They are so smart and playful as well. We have had some of our females come back to the inside of our porch where we have squirrel boxes set up for releases and have their babies! During Hurricane Ian one of our gals that did this gathered up her three young adult "kids" and brought them all in our porch to ride out the hurricane. They stayed for a day then back up in the trees again. That says a lot about their intelligence, insight and instincts. We feel blessed to be able to help these little guys and gals grow and go out into the wild and live the life they were intended for. Many stick around the same as Funny Man has done. they are welcome to stay as long as they like. They definitely enrich our life.
PappyfromtheKeys 🤗 Great Story Also Of Ur Squirrels 💌
This was beautiful to read. Thank you guys for taking care of these wee ones.,
I had a pet squirrel, "Poopsie", who I had for over 8 years. I loved him so much and I still miss him even after 60 years!
God bless you for what you do for the Squirrels around you. ❤
Doing the same again, this time with a male squirrel. Nine years ago I had the honor to raise a female back to the wild from a hairless pup. She hung around for years. It's really a wonderful experience. I get joy when I hear them fuss at you for something you did wrong. I'm 37 days in with this one. Weaning from formula to solids.
Чудесная история❤❤❤ Спасибо за такое милое и полное любви и заботы видео❤
Such good people. If only the world had more of this. Thanks for looking out for him and loving him enough to let him be free to live his squirrel life.
Well done Doug, it's great to see the little fellow bringing you so much pleasure
Loved this! Thank you for saving him. The world needs more extraordinary people like you & your family. 🕊❤️🐿
A beautiful love story like no other! The most beautiful part is the decision to let him go free, and that, of course, he comes back to visit. There's a lesson about love there. Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind being adopted by these people. Gotta go now. It's time to feed the family of squirrels in my yard. 💕🐿🐾
My brother rescued a baby squirrel 1955. He was an amazing pet. We lived in a mill camp. When the camp closed he turned the now adult pet free. I went back in 10 years and was looking around the now empty site and heard a squirrel chattering. I called him by name and he came right to me. I fed him some of my picnic lunch and we said goodbye. So intelligent and loving. I hope he lived a very long and happy life. So happy your family were able to enjoy your sweet squirrel. 🙂
@sandrakisch....What a precious story. I suspect you and your brother will see the little guy in Heaven. Truly.
Amazing !
Never release a squirrel that doesn't know how to forage. And please don't feed a squirrel human food like sandwich. They are natural vegans. Squirrels eat nuts, natural unsprayed fruits, root vegtables and other vegtables that grow in nature. If they fill up on junk food they won't get the nutrition that they are intended to eat
They say most squirrels live just long enough to see the seasons. Ten years is exceptional.
Here in Raleigh hawks have taken over the city and squirrels and rabbits are definitely in danger. On campus the squirrels spend most days running about under cars terrified and the once numerous bunnies have all but disappeared.
What a wonderful story. Wish we had more people in the world like you and your family!
😢 What wonderful Story wish we had more people in the World LikeYou en Your Family
This was adorable making a fuss, not wanting to go in the cage.
That was a great story and the violin really added to it. I wonder which of you played that piece?
Thank you for putting a heartfelt video for the world to experience and make a positve difference 💓
You should write a children's book about your funny man
Great story. I'll be waiting for the book ,because we need a story like this in this crazy world we are in now. Blessings to you and your family. I want the first copy
Great idea!
Dont forget my fee for suggesting it!!!! Only kidding.
🤗
Me Too!
You can say that again
Agreed !!
What a beautiful family you've got, and so kind hearted!
This is just beautiful. I have pet rats and I think rodents are so misunderstood. What you and your family created with the funny man is so sweet and special. Bless you and your family!!!
💯 agree 🐭🐀🐁🐿️
This totally blew my heart open!! It's so moving and all too rare to see human beings treating other creatures with the love, respect and connection they
so deeply deserve and clearly thrive on!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story of innocence , pure love and joy in a time of so much darkness and despair.
What a miraculous gift from our Creator. Just amazing. As a 52 year old man, I have tears in my eyes and thank you Doug and family for sharing. Precious.
amen
All the time I see something beautiful like this story, I always think about all the billions of anonymously murdered sentient animals because humans still follow a violent diet.... What's the difference between this squirrel and a cow, a calf, a piglet, a lamb etc.? There is none!
One day we will have the same relationship with all God’s Creation!!🤗
Yes, what a special gift from God. To me, squirrels are an expression of God's gentle humor. They always make me smile. This little guy is appropriately named!
I have 3 or 4 wild squirrels that have no problem coming into my garage because I have peanuts for them. After about 3 weeks I was able to feed a couple of them by hand. Such beautiful, intelligent and inquisitive creatures.
I hope Funny Man is still around, when I was a kid we raised a baby squirrel but she stayed with us her whole life, she lived about 9-10 years, we called her MO, they like many of God's creatures have a spirit, so to hear him say that, touched my heart, this video reinforces my faith in humanity.
I am so moved by this kind loving sweet family.
Your adorable pet squirrel could've made a top movie career in Hollywood or Disney land !
Do you hate that squirrel so much, as to inflict such a ghastly fate on him?
That's one lucky squirrel... He's free and has everything a squirrel could possibly want. Thanks for sharing this
How absolutely beautiful and precious- thanks for uploading this and for your great compassion!!!!
'I never thought that a squirrel could weave it's way into my heart'. Oh, mate, they really do. I love my little Sean Connery so much :)
How precious 💕I reached a baby squirrel that was in my yard,thought the baby was dead.Took to vet they took care if the baby and took to sanctuary.
We need more people like you and your family.
Wow! This video actually made me tear up! So touching and very well done but the love and care that you and your family gave to this little funny man is incredible!
This guy is SO SO lucky to have this treasure because he is a total treasure. He is gorgeous. Blessings to all of you.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. I love animals. I was crying watching this. It’s wonderful to witness other people who show compassion to animals as I do too. It’s truely heart warming. Thank You. I love the little funny man too and you and your whole family😊 God Bless you all always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@patriciatetzel728 very true. I agree 😊
All life is precious ❤️
@@alyssavictoria7971 Very true 😊I agree 100%
@@patriciatetzel728 Why I'm a huge advocate of humanely killing what we eat. God put certain animals on the earth to eat, but we do so with respect of those animals. Why I praise and thank God for his gifts of food when I eat.

Aww, he's adorable. You are so lucky to have such a special friendship with him. Precious.
Such a lovely family; beautiful airy home; pretty gentle wife; handsome gentle sons.. lovely grounds; Wonderful squirrel.. A Story Of Life & Friendship.. 💕
What a beautiful family.....and even the human children and the squirrel child...we loved it....😂
I see it as that lovely little squirrel having the very best of both worlds .. family AND freedom.💞
Linda Casey 🤗 Great Comment‼ Definitely The Very Best Of Both Worlds 🏫🌳🌿🥜🌰🍂🍁🍃🍀🌲🌱💌
Thank you Jesus for letting us borrow all your wonderful critters
Lovely story. I love squirrels too. So cold here in Quebec in the winter so I feed the squirrels every day so they can survive without too much stress, thanks for sharing your story !
We had a adult female grey squirrel who came back (for pecan halves) to visit four 4 seasons. Each time I would think, this wild animal has so much to deal with out there that she might not come back. Then she came back! We played with her just like she never left. Until one day, that she was missing from our routine. We try not to dwell on it, but we miss her the way that you do. We are grateful that CrookTail let us peek into her life and her offsprings as well.
Thank you God 🙏🏻
We had a couple squirrels through the years as pets. Rescued them as babies and hand fed them. Sweet creatures for sure
Squirrels were popular as pets in colonial times in America. Seeing these videos shows why that would be. All domesticated animals were once wild species. But for many, becoming tame has big advantages
I didn't realize how hard I was smiling watching this until my cheecks started to buzz and fell kinda numb!!😁😁 watching that lil firecracker running around playing with you was hypnotic!! Oh I have always wanted to find a baby squirrel to save. Your world is forever changed having this beautiful lil critter to love and to be loved by!
P.s. I LOVE the pattern on your chair! Those elephants are gorgeous!
Beautiful story……
Right now my husband and I are raising a baby squirrel, she was under our deck steps last Friday night, our Pomeranian was standing near the steps sniffing, well the baby thought he was her momma and came out, needless the chase started, we got the baby safe inside, I’ve been bottle feeding her and giving nuts etc to her, but we both know that day is coming soon, I’m really dreading it to 😢❤️, will be bittersweet, but we know it’s best, as we have 3 bigger fur babies as well inside, but you did give us one great idea and that was to leave her pen hanging in a tree, I pray she does come back at night to sleep in it, God Bless y’all……
That was an incredible and moving documentary, very well done.... I will not soon forget your family, and "funny man" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This story ls truly touching. To watch your family take such good care of him when he was a baby, and to watch him grow up to be let free is heartwarming. I'm sure it was quite difficult to release Funny Man back to the wild. But, your special relationship with him truly warms my heart. All God's creatures are a gift to us and we should be stewards of all of nature. You show a good example by allowing him to be the squirrel he was intended for and this is wonderful. I wish all humanity could have the compassion and unselfishness toward your furry friend. Thank you for this video. It was a wonderful story of the best in people. 🐿💕
Yes!
This makes me so happy. I have a rescued squirrel that my daughter and I raised too. Her name is Hazel and she is precious.
Hopefully he or she will bring all the friends and families to meet this guy.
It's 12:30 am . I watched this and am going to bed. What a nice thing to have on my mind before sleep . Thank you
Having a squirrel at home is pure joy and music guys , I love it and I too feed squirrels of my garden 😎👍.
Funny Man chose to enjoy the best of both worlds -- lucky squirrel!
What a beautiful story ! You're funny man's family and your bond will last a lifetime. He'll continue to visit you regularly.. Thank you for sharing this story !
So nice too see how a little squirrel can make people more aware that all animals have souls and personalities. This little guy was domed if you didn't take him in. You saved him during his biggest time indeed. Your kid's probably leaned the most out of the whole interaction....
GOOD LUCK
Awww, what a beautiful story. Thank goodness you found funny man when he fell from the tree as a baby squirrel 🐿️ ❤❤
You are a very special family! That's why God gave you a very special squirrel ♥️
This was so beautiful. Crying of course. 🐿️♥️
Love your story! He is So cute! We have a family of 3 grey squirrels in our backyard and once a week put out seed, nuts, apples and today adding corned cob. It's funny to see the shock of Steve Squirrel when he sees his food replenished, he looks around & calls for the other members of his family, they eat, bury, play jumping from tree to tree & even come to our kitchen windows & look in, So nice to see someone else enjoy the wild precious squirrels too.
Olivia Zarnack (4 Days ago) - Smiling here - think the Squirrels are coming to the window to see what is cooking or on the menu for next week. Great share. Best wishes to all out there (human or otherwise) from Southern New Jeesey, USA ❤️
Have you seen the vlog Tideline Art with Nicola White? She is a “mudlark” who picks away at the Thames looking for historical bits and pieces. A lovely one to watch. Well, Nicola has a squirrel who visits her and sits on her windowsill and eats the nuts she leaves for it. Seems lots of people do this. Can’t see why the Griswalds were so scared of one in their film “Christmas Vacation! ❤️🦘😊
Yes it sure is, I love watching my outside babies, and love raising them even more, they are so loving and precious to me, and really get spoiled fast!!!❤🐿🐿🐿
Olivia Zarnack 🤗 Great Story Comment Of Your 3 Squirrels 💌
We bought a house in Tallahassee,our backyard borders on a small piece of forest. We built a enclosed Deck which has an extra, higher fence besides the one surrounding the backyard.
We hung a bird feeder and
2 Squirrel feeders, placed a birdbath and a bigger tub with water all near and on my fence by the forrest. Mama Deer and baby hop the fence to graze.The Squirrels are funny and entertaining. Beautiful birds come to feed,saw a family of Racoons hanging around.
Absolutely LOVE it and can see it from my kitchen window or deck.
A little piece of Heaven.
What a beautiful story of love n respect for God’s creatures. We have a family of squirrels in our yard that we feed daily. I just have to open my deck door n if they hear it, they come running to get their peanuts. We love watching their antics. They are so entertaining.
Thanks for giving nature a helping hand
We are supposed to live close to animals
❤
You're family have helped to document a unique, beautiful, happy and exceptional experience.
Thank you ALL so much!😭😍
Did this make anyone else cry?....I'm an idiot 😆
You have compassion. Humanity. You have passed the test....
Thank you for a beautiful story of a human kindness, love, patience, joy, and resilience.What a joy to behold…to see the happy little squirrel 🐿 playing with the family who saved him❤
I raised one so young he had no fur. He was a snuggle bug and a riot with the family cat. He say on my shoulder at night and picked fruit out of my bowl and sat eating his favorite fruit .
Yes, my heart was definitely touched by this beautiful story of the FUNNY MAN.
I love squirrels as well! They are so trusting and entertaining. Long life to FUNNY MAN.
Music a teeny bit loud, but I've never seen such a wonderfully tender video before. GOD bless you for caring for HIS creature.
Mary SaltLife 🤗 Great Comment!! The music🎶 was much too loud, it was louder than the talking🗣 of the video.
Man some of that was hard to watch. I could feel the older gentlemans hurt strongly. Glad he came back. God is good, but you did the right thing letting him explore
Just a beautiful story. I enjoy feeding the fox squirrels here in California. Thank you for sharing this love story.
A wonderful story and I'm so glad you saved his life and then let him go to live as nature intended! Long live the Funny Man, who has the best of both worlds!💗💔
What a wonderful story thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Squirrels are so intelligent I knew he’d come back I have a whole family of squirrels in my backyard that use my bird feeders as carnival rides I sit there and watch them one hangs down and gets it spinning and the seeds fly out the others collect on the ground it’s so funny to watch I tolerate it because they clean up every acorn and walnut that falls in my yard and birds still eat too
அணிலை வளர்த்து பாதுகாப்பதும் சிறந்த புண்ணியம் சேர்க்கும் செயலாகும்...

Oh my goodness!!! I have recently made friends w the squirrels in my yard and I have fallen in love….I’ve even named myself squirrel girl on RUclips lol…. I never knew what a treasure was all around me my whole life 😊❤️🐿
Dear Dodo: take note. This is the level of content we know you are capable of delivering - 20 min videos of animals we fall in love with oughta be standard practice for these types of videos. Any less is not enough.
Thank you Funny Man 🐿💕 and your human family. 🤍 from about halfway through I started crying and ended in tears too. What a beautiful family full of wonderful hearts. Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙌 Only the best of blessings to you all.
What a beautiful video it put
a smile on my face through all my worries beautiful family and you have such a soft voice I could listen to you for hours thank you sooòoo much funny man wishing you and yours the verry best always 💜👍
Thank you for being such good hoomans. Not many of us left. I have bonded with one of our black squirrels here, She will not let me pet her, but she does take nuts from my hand and when we first bonded she would dig in my pocket. I have vids of her on my channel. We have had to rescue a few of her babies over the past 5 years. 3 years ago we had a freak ice storm and mom boos nest was destroyed, she had 6 babies that spring. We saw her trying to stuff some of her babies who had just started exploring out of the nest 2 days before, into a birdhouse. the others were still too tiny and not strong enough to climb wet icy fences. My daughter and i went out to check around and see how she was doing and found 2 of her babies on the ground close by the tree and both appeared to be gone. Then suddenly boo showed up and ran up to her one gray baby and started licking him. We thought she was saying goodbye, she was actually trying to get us to notice him. As she ran off i noticed a very tiny movement in one finger. My daughter ran back into the house and grabbed 2 towels and we scooped them up and brought them in and started cpr and rigorous rub downs with warm towels. Sadly the black female was beyond help but after about 20 mins of continued cpr the little male made the most tiny pitiful peep noise. We named him lil peep. We only had him in the house for the day. About 6 hours later he seemed to suddenly realize he was alive and was not happy with his situation. He had had a nice long warm rest and a few snacks and he wanted mom. So we called boo to the door for a peanut, but opened the cage door and gave her her son instead. I have never seen 2 squirrels so happy to see each other. Peanut all forgotten. I am so upset with myself for not recording any of it, the reunion made me cry. But it is a happy memory i won't forget. Peep hung around for the rest of the year and grew to be one of the biggest males around. And a warning to you and your little friend He may just go one day, males roam and go to new areas for mating. It only the females who will stay in one place. I hope that does not happen with your sweet funny man. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. I wish more people were like this.People also do not realize that covid closing down the world also had a deadly effects on wildlife. For those who relied on tourists and such for survival. I had a back yard zoo the first covid lock down summer. Along with my squirrels, i also befriended a sweet raccoon who came every night to have dinner and spend hours with me and the 7 baby skunks she adored like her own babies, they never tried to spray her. Th4ey just all walked around me at my patio table a took snacks. I would reach down and pet a tail as they went by. We (dita short for bandita, Fished in the dog pool for grapes, played ball and tug and she would sit on my lap at times to eat, if the 2 possums showed up.She did not like them. she wanted very much to move into my house too, lol. every time i went in to get something, she would get the screen open and i would find her wandering around and not wanting to leave. Then the weather got cooler and i could not stay out so long, but i still put her dinner out and watched for her, then she just stopped coming. That broke my heart. My daughters named me snowwhite that summer. I have tons of vids i have yet to post with her. I just feel so sad when i think about seeing them. I did make friends with a second mom raccoon this past summer, for a short time. she even brought her 5 babies to use my backyard as a day care for a couple of days. She would crash on top of the outside bench and let them roam around and get some energy out. She and Dita were the only ones who would come and take food from me. She only came around for about a month and twice she left a baby or 2 behind. They would sit in the big tree out back and cry the rest of the night, until i guess she came back for them. There is something special and rewarding about being able to bond with wildlife and to save a life. Too many people could care less.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I am so glad he visits everyday. It had to be heartbreaking to let him go! He has the best of both worlds now thanks to you and your family.❤
Wondering if Doug has any brothers like him. Good looking, gentle, animal loving. What a wonderful guy. Love that little monkey of a squirrel too !I believe all animals have souls and I hope they will join us in heaven.
Hello Mary
How are you doing today?
What a beautiful little soul!
Beautiful story! We love watching squirrels and we feed them in our yard with peanuts and sunflower seeds. All animals have feelings and souls.
I have a view out my living room slide window, of two squirrels that play in the area. I have covertly started leaving roasted unsalted peanuts 🥜 and walnuts (which are already unshelled), but I put them outside in their environment in areas that they normally rummage through for food, making it is as though it's treasure they come across in their hunt, like manna from Heaven. Then I get to watch the action anonymously out my window with sheer enjoyment. ❤🐿️🥜🌰
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story of Funny man. Yes “ ALL” animals have souls. 💙
I made it through the first half then lost it and tears rolling down my cheeks. Such an amazing cross over into 2 worlds. Precious story of your little funny man. I'm so glad he still visits and know how painful it was when you set him free, so beautifully. What a precious little guy and wonderful experience for your family.
The love that animals bring us is unmearsurable! I would be a miserable unproductive person without them!
I am surprised to be crying...this is ONE OF MY FAVORITE stories ever💙💙💙
