    I have so many wonderful friends on this site, I won't know how I can stay in touch.
    Do you know? x

    Hi dear Jenny,

    There are several ways to navigate TSB. You can go into each category, i.e. Emergency, Non emergency, Infirmary, Nursery, etc, click on those headings and that will open up those areas. At the beginning of each category are stickies (posts that contain important information that stay until admin deletes). You can read any of those or scroll past and find posts of people that have made a thread pertinent to that category. You originally chose to put Nutkins thread in the Non-emergency category. You can comment in any ones thread, just like you replied back to any one who commented in your thread.

    Your thread about Nutkin will stay the same except that it will be in a different category, a very special, holy, and loved category. You can still post there and we can also. It is still about you and Nutkin. And most of us will follow you there. We would love to know more about you and your life with Nutkin. Of course there must be many pictures cos we love pictures so much.

    Another way to open up is to go to- Quick Links- and find out who posted that day regardless of what category. I think this is what most people do.

    I just had a brilliant idea.....why don't you come to the TSB gathering held here in Maryland on March 3rd 4th and 5th. Fly into Baltimore Washington international airport (BWI), I personally will pick you up and take you to Kent Island, where you will spend 2 1/2 days immersed in squirrel love and people that truly understand what you are going through. And you will have the distinction of having travelled the farthest besides having a wonderful special loving weekend in an incredible setting at Farm Moms horse and squirrel farm! You can read about it in the category of Off Topic and the thread is...2017 Gathering of Nuts, or something like that. We would love to have you come, but no pressure if you can't.

    Hi Trysh, thank you so much for guiding me through the TSB website. You've made it so much easier for me. I still don't know how to post photographs, but the lovely Nancy from NY is kindly helping me with that. I have more photos to follow sometime.

    What can I say? WOW! The 2017 Gathering of Nuts! (great name). There is nothing on this earth I would rather do than to go to Maryland in March. However, I have a problem. I have no current passport and doubt that I could get one sorted in time as everything is abysmally slow in this country. I haven't needed one for the last 10 years as I didn't go abroad for any holidays as I wouldn't leave Nutkin. My passport expired a few years back and I haven't renewed it. Also I am waiting for an operation and I'm on the 'cancellation' list, so I don't know when I will be called. I've been waiting 8 months now, yet I'm classed as 'urgent'. The NHS here is terrible as you may have heard on your news. The TSB gathering sounds the most wonderful thing to me. I can't imagine being surrounded by people who are like-minded and love squirrels as much as I do. Pure heaven! Your offer has really touched my heart and it's so kind of you to think of me. You are such a great person, Trysh!

    Who knows what next year may bring? Perhaps another squirrel will enter my life if Nutkin sends me one. In that case, I will be devoted to it no doubt, just like I have Nutkin.

    I'll look forward to hearing all about the gathering though with lots of pictures!

    Thank you so much, Trysh. x

    Bless you Ekorre. How kind of you to get in touch. Your words are very comforting. Nutkin and I had nothing short of a love affair. I received his love every single day and he also accepted mine gratefully and was always anxious to see me and get a cuddle. He was a unique and amazing little boy and I miss him very much. Lovely to hear from you, many thanks. x

    It would be sheer joy to meet you maybe something to plan for next year.

    I am sorry to hear about a health issue. Will send prayers for a positive resolution. I have no doubt that Nutkin is looking right now for the next perfect being to send to you!

    Sorry I have not been on--I just today saw the post on Nutkin's passing.
    Most TSB members have lost a squee...some, myself included, have lost a few.
    It is never "just a squirrel"--it is always a piece of your heart.
    You did so well to keep him so strong and healthy for soooo many years. A testament to you LOVE.
    Time is the only remedy...and I mean LOTS of time. Your grief is your own--but shared by so many here.
    My best friend the CRUISER Dude is 5 and I fear he won't see 6, and all my free time is spent on loving him.

    Thank you so much stosh, bless you for your lovely words and the offer to post some more of Nutkin's photos. That's very kind of you. At the moment, Nancy in new York is helping post photos, but it would be lovely if you get to see them too. You're right, it's so hard to lose a squirrel. They are so unlike any other animal and are very very special. I'm so sorry you've lost squirrels too. The grief is terrible isn't it and I don't know if I will ever really get over it. He was the most important thing in my life and I loved him so much. He showed his love for me every day and I showed him mine. We were inseparable and rarely apart.

    Thank you so much for sharing my grief, you are so kind and caring. I'm sure your squirrels had a very loving parent too and one who still misses them so much. They're just so special aren't they. Bless you stosh.....and thank you so much. x

    May I send special love to The Cruiser and hope with all my heart that he remains with you for a long time. xxxx

    Hi Stosh, yes, I know. Yours is certainly larger than ours, but we do have another one in the garage. This was Nutkin's fridge mainly and we just sneaked some of his space now and then. I remember someone telling me once that they had just been on holiday to the US and that everything over there was large compared to the little old UK. I guess that includes fridges too! LOL! I've been wanting what they call over here an 'American style' fridge for ages, as ours aren't that big. I'd love one just like your fridge. That's what I call a fridge! That's settled it, I'll definitely be coming to your house for dinner! xx

    Thank you so much Rexie. My grief is indeed tremendous. I can't even speak about him with anyone yet, it's too raw. Nutkin changed my life and I fear I will never be the same again. I do appreciate your caring and sending blessing to me. I was a proud 'mum' to Nutkin and I'm so happy to share my boy with you all, knowing that you would have loved him as much as I did. He was very special. Thank you my friend. xx

    Aw. The last pic - look at that little pink tummy! Do I spy a roll or two? That tummy skin is the softest in the world I think. How often were you able to restrain yourself from stroking that tummy? I always reach in and stroke my boy's tum when he is on his haunches eating (unless it is a rice chex because he will swat me over chex) and the poor guy has just given up on me stopping and endures it with an eyeroll.

    I have nothing to offer as far as getting past this. These little guys hold your heart so hard I don't think you ever get it completely back. I don't think you DO "get over it." Maybe all we can do is find a path around, if we can...

    Thank you CritterMom. Yes, that is a soft pink tummy you see and yes there were a few little rolls there. He had also lost some of his fur at that time. The weather was quite warm and he was shedding a bit. Fortunately after a short time it returned hiding the 'tell tale' rolls! LOL! I did get to tickle Nutkin's tum now and then, which was a treat for both of us. When I stopped tickling, he would hold on to my fingers until I continued again. Such a loving boy.

    I agree with what you said about getting past losing Nutkin. These creatures are so unique and so special, it must be almost impossible to let them go completely. I'll always keep a large part of him in my heart which I will keep forever.
    Thank you my friend. x

    Jenny,
    You ( and Nutkin) have been in my thoughts all week. How fast times zips by.... It has been 5 weeks since Nutkin's passing, and I'm sure to you, it feels fresh and still so very painful. My little Dude has good and then very BAD days. My heart is so twisted.

    ---I hope you can start to find some time to be happy and feel Nutkin on your shoulder--keeping watch over you--from the Rainbow Bridge.

    If you find the time to e-mail me a selection ( 8 or more) of you favorite Nutkin pics..I would be HONORED to make a collage for you... No rush--any time...
    send to
