Hi there cutie Elvira! Happy Pet of the Day to you sweetie! Oh! How precious are you, little one! I'm not sure we've ever had a chippy as our Pet of the Day! I can only imagine how special it is for your mom to have you trust her so, coming up for a cuddle, and a bit to eat...from her hand! You really have the best of both worlds, Elvira; a fun life out in the wild, scampering all about, collecting nuts! AND, a caring human to share some love and food with! How lucky she is to have such a special buddy in you!

She lives in a hole in the ground all year around. We are always happy to see her when she comes up after her winter's nap, and greets us with the cheery chattering
I can only imagine the joy, the smiles on your mom and dad's face, that first meeting after your long winter's nap! (Bet you're already up, getting ready for your fun summer!

Happy Pet of the Day to you, precious Elvira! Have a very happy, safe and carefree season with your wonderful people, with many more wonderful years of friendship yet to come!
