Bring Him Home

[CritterMom]

Thank you! I was afraid to click "reply with a quote" because I did not know what quote I wanted to reply with. Thought my quote had to be a wise maxim of some sort about squirrels like:


"O sweet September, thy first breezes bring
The dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laughter,
The cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring
And promise of exceeding joy hereafter."
George Arnold

That is absolutely hilarious - it sure would class up the joint...for a while, then you would run out of good ones and be back with that man in Nantucket...

Guess who I found huddled in his hammock inside the cage yesterday when I went to feed. JONAH! I shut the cage door before he could poke his head out of the fluff. On the last three uncharacteristically warm days of Indian summer in South-Central Pennsylvania, the lad tasted freedom. It has suddenly become cold and rainy. Soon, it will be freezing and icy. Once again, I feel bad for him having to be stuck in a cage for three more months. But I've always believed overwintering to be best for him.

My next question is: Should I overwinter him outside on my back porch, cage completely covered with blankets overnight? Or should I bring his cage indoors?

Thanks for your time and attention. x x x

"...that man in Nantucket" You cracked me up!

I knew he'd show up 😀 👏
Someone else will have to answer your overwinter question, I'm in Florida and anything under 70* I'm dressed in my fleece jammies till spring 🤣
