Nelson is adorable--how close does he let you get to him? <br /><br />In my old house (I just moved so I have to call it my old house now), we have a chipmunk that lives with its family in the front lawn and we leave bird seed lying out on the driveway for it. My sister and I named it Squibbles, and then we found out there were two and like, a bazillion babies, so we call all the babies little Squibbbles and we call the mum Spectrum, and the dad is still Squibbles. They got to the point where they weren't hugely afraid of me anymore and they would let me get pretty close as long as I didn't make any sudden movements.

He's just awesome. Well...Yes, I adore Nelson!!! He's just awesome. Well, a tail-less squirrel sounds pretty cool, too (awesome name, by the way) and that's awesome that he hung around enough for you guys to name him and everything.

It's too bad they wake you up, but they seem super awesome. :D We don't have anything quite so extraordinary as kookaburras, but we did have a tail-less squirrel called Stumpy a few years ago, who we liked to watch out the window. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797485444727976121noreply@blogger.com
