Came when she was called. Once jumped into my mom's apron pocket when she was hanging clothes and scared the dickens out of her. I loved that squirrel. Followed me from tree to tree when I walked home from school)
I grew up with squirrels in my folks yard full of Bur Oak trees. Dad put up houses in the trees for the squirrels to live in. We had a feeder in the back yard & would gather up walnuts in the fall to feed the squirrels over the winter.

When I would get home from school I would fill up two large tablespoons with peanut butter & the squirrels would climb up the lawn chair I was sitting in & sit on the arm of the chair & eat peanut butter out of the spoons.
