Secret Squirrel Stuff

Que the Mission Impossible soundtrack. All we need now is a super-secret tree fort for them to plan their missions and practice disabling acorn-sized bombs. Craving your daily dose of cute? These agents of cuteness deliver.
Having earned the title as “World’s Messiest Eaters,” the boys have a reputation to keep up and each meal gives them an opportunity to top their previous record.
Take a moment to fully appreciate the curled tail and tiny hands gripping the apple. Just a week ago, Tom (pictured above) was too weak to lift his head for the oral syringe of milk to be administered. Now he can sit on his back legs and use his arms to feed himself.
Huckleberry squirrel (pictured above) is more advanced than his brother. His balance is better than Tom’s and he’s faster on his feet. He can grip his food in one little hand and carry it anywhere.
Did you enjoy your daily dose of cute? Don’t say I never gave you nuttin.’
Yes, I went there.
I realize that was beyond corny and someone reading this just felt their tummy do a teeny tiny somersault but I just couldn’t help myself.
Hope your day like totally rocks.
P.S. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled chicken-ogling soon. Be patient with me — I’m weak.

Please leave us a comment. We love reading them and feel that they are the best part of the site. Thank you!
My little Huckleberry is so incredibly smart. Of course, we knew that when he decided right off that he loves me.
Wish I could come by and give my wee Huck his baff today but Abby started her morning with explosive vomit and I think I’m stuck here for the day.
OMG, I am awefully jealous of you! I’d love to have such adorable critters in my home! My heart is melting!
Cheers,

Awesome pics. I have never been a squirrel guy but you might be converting me!
Howdy!
Love your little squirrels! I had a squirrel when I was young. My daddy found it in the woods one day when hunting. It was missing 1/2 of its tail. It was still a baby and we had to bottle feed. We called him Shorty and he was so sweet. My dad built a big cage for him, and he never strayed even when we left the door open. We played with him and let him ride on our shoulders. As he matured, he eventually wandered off to find his own life. It was a fun experience! Hope yours do great, too!
Oooh,…they have grown so much! They are really cute!!
Lovely pictues as well, Lacy!!
Thank you for starting my day off with just the right amount of cuteness. I feel ready to face the day.
Oh my gosh Lacy they are ADORABLE! My friend Julie used to have a pet squirrel; though that was at a time we’d lost track of each other so I never got to know him. I love watching the little guys and gals running around outside. They are all very camera shy though. I have yet to get a decent squirrel picture.
This is the most adorable post I’ve ever read. They’re so cute and growing like weeds!
Awwww now that’s cute! It makes me almost like the little buggers. It would help if they didn’t feast on my tulips.
