Courage The Squirrel!

[Malorey]

I don't think I have introduced you to her. Well, this is Courage. See, my grandma for about 4 years has fed the squirrels peanuts. Starting with the 1st one coming, Charlie. Well, now she has a group of about 15 that come all the time, and have just started seeing a black squirrel come. I always wanted to be able to have one take a peanut out of my hand. Lol. Well, Courage was the 1st to do that. When I first met Courage she was wary, but still she took it out of my hand all the time. She also had been missing the tip of her tail, so she has always been easy to pick out as it has never grown back. Then one night I was out there for about 2 hours freezing my butt of feeding her, and that night was the first time she actually seemed to plow on me! xD She came, climbed up my leg, and ripped the peanut out of my hand, and ate it on my lap. Lol, I think I told everyone for about 1 month! xD Though, since my grandma has been in the hospital since July, I haven't been to her house much, and Courage and I have, well, I guess you could saw drifted away, eh, but my grandma will be coming home in a couple weeks, so I will be there all the time to take care of her, and the squirrels! LOL.

These are the newest pictures I have. From the 2nd you may be able to tell she isn't as tame anymore, as she was doing the crawl alot of them do. As if to make sure they are able to bolt off really fast.

O.. M.. GAWWWW. That is too freaking cute! I'm not even kidding. I have a soft spot for squirrels! XD I love them so much. Courage is adorable! :) I wish I could tame a squirrel like that! I doubt I'd have the patience to, though. :p Either that or they wouldn't come near me.

Nice pictures. They should be especially interesting for members outside of North America where they do not get our big squirrels:)

I want pet squirrels too :(

Courage is a very cute grey squirrely :)
You're not feeding her raw peanuts are you? I'm pretty sure those are bad for them, toxic I think. Only raw ones are though.

Oh, I love squirrels! Thanks for the pictures. I'd love to see some more when you get to spend time at your grandma's again. I hope she is better soon.

That's such a sweet story. Wow he actually ate off your lap, that's so cool. We have a lot of squirrels in our trees. The closest they have come is on our back porch to lick the salt from the previous winters (because we have to salt our walkways from the ice). It's so cute to see their little pink tongue licking on the wood.
