In honor of the tenth anniversary of 4real and since it is also National Squirrel Day, giving this a big bump!

So, I've always thought squirrels were adorable little nuisances, and had no problem leaving them some corn cobs out in the yard. Then, one was stuck in our bird feeder; it bit my daughter when she tried to free it. It was a mess, we had to go to the urgent care to get it looked at (we had just moved, so we weren't yet established at a new practice). All was well in the end, but now DD claims (somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I believe) to dislike squirrels. So, of course, we gifted her with several squirrel items, like a squirrel-shaped salt and pepper shaker, squirrel-themed metal wall art, and a stuffed squirrel ornament. Its become a running family joke

Love this story- I am sorry that she was bitten (naughty squirrel), but I love how you took it and ran with it
