Default Pocket the Squirrel

On a lighter note I'd like to share a video my wife took of our wild pet squirrel-Pocket. Suzy, my wife, has fed this squirrel since it was very young, and its mother Paws also. Suzy would fill her pocket with peanuts in which Pocket would gravitate towards when it was no bigger than my hand. He would poke his head into her pocket and or reach high with his paws eager for a nut. He keeps her company while I'm at work all day and so does his mother. The mother we named Paws even before Pocket was born because she'd do the same reaching motion as Pocket. No other squirrels we are familiar with do this. Paws was severally injured last winter during the snow storms, she broke her right leg. Every morning Suzy would feed her and she survived, walking with a slight limp. Here's a video of pocket, who thinks my toes are peanuts, perhaps.
