He Grew Up and We Let Him Go...

Sunday was a beautiful day, and it seemed as if the perfect day to give Buddy his freedom. He had ran up a tree for about an hour on Thursday, so we thought he wanted to be wild and free to roam in the woods. Steve and I spent a wonderful hour saying our good-byes. He was very loving and jumped between the both of us. I have many scratches on my arms from him running up and down.






I think I have a critter on me!

We moved his house outside, so he would have a safe place, and even covered it with a tarp so he could stay dry this week.


"I have had about enough of that flash!"




We spread food all over the deck, so he would have plenty to eat.

He was so cute when he chewed, yawned, drank water... he was just cute all the time.




Buddy felt the need to relieve himself on Steve's hat before our final goodbye.



Buddy liked his new world and left the cage ASAP when we put him inside.



We thought he was leaving at this point...

...But no fear he returned to play and say goodbye again.






Buddy, We will always love you!

There's a scrappy squirrel here in Battery Park that we call Bob. He's lived here for years and loves to come over to try to steal a bit of pb&j or chips. Sometimes we don't see him for awhile, but he always comes back. Maybe Buddy will decide your yard is really the best place to hang out after all and you'll have him around for years.
