3666 Squiggy Squirrel

That first squirrel to reappear after the hurricane?  I've been feeding him peanuts in the shell, early mornings.  I don't know if he's hungry, friendly, brave, or stupid, but he'll now come within two feet of me and sit up and beg. I don't know if I want him to actually touch me, like sit on my knee or something. If I ever run out of peanuts, that could get very annoying.

I've named him Squiggy, like Laverne and Shirley's Squiggy.

It fits.

My grandmother had a squirrel that would come bang on the back screen door every morning. She got such a kick out of him.

PS - I used to like squirrels until I found out they were destroying my maple tree.

That's awesome! My brother and his wife on Long Island give the squirrels peanuts. They've got several who come every day, and they've named each one too.
