Cutie is so funny lolol, she wanted nothing to do with the stuffed squirrel 🤣 I also have to say how encouraging it is to see so much love from the Squirrels at the Window community for Smoothie 😊❤ 🐿 She definitely was very special and will be missed greatly 😢 🐿

[@NorthernMouse52]

Hi, l wasn't able to get the Nutty squirrel due to excessive shipping costs,but l have ordered the Aurora Miyoshi squirrel with a Acorn between it's paws, do you know how old Smoothie was so l can put date's on the Memorial plaque in memory of Smoothie Squirrel 🐿️

[@suzanneslifer1772]

what happened to Smoothie ?

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

​@@NorthernMouse52That's very nice of you ❤ Smoothie was approx. 5 years old.

[@Squirrels_at_the_window]

​@@suzanneslifer1772Unfortunately the eye infection spread to her head and she passed away.

[@BillAnt]

I've noticed with my squirrels that when twitching their tails vigorously over their heads, it's a sign of nervousness. But when waving it left and right low to the ground it a sign of happiness and comfort.

[@pinkcarnation231]

Losing a creature we love never gets any easier no matter how many times you go through it. Any animal lover feels deeply for you.

[@bonjovirocks24]

Definitely thought about my lost creatures about a few times today.

[@StacyGarner]

What we do to life and nature in the name of cars plagues me. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@juliegreen7396]

I just about never got over the death of my beloved dog.

[@Bampitas74psKR]

Amen. Doesn’t matter how many times it happens. It never gets easier. I recently had to put down my white German Shepherd and it hurt so bad. But he was in pain and I would not let him suffer. He has a special place on our fireplace mantle now. It’s not the same without him. Smoothie will be missed by you and all of us here in the community. She will be waiting for you on the other side.

[@mrflashport]

So sorry to learn about Smoothie's passing. One of my eastern grey's, Ariana, was killed by a car last week. It sucks as these little gems are put in our world to make us stop and notice how precious life can be. When I had COVID last December, this is when I bonded with the squirrels around my home. They've always been here, and it's up to us to respect them and help them whenever we can. Even a little water dish like you have helps them find CLEAN water and costs nothing. I love squirrels!

[@ttashicatt1091]

I totally agree with you about putting out some water for any and all animals that may pass through your yard on a hot day, I feel so bad for them that I've been doing it for a few years now.

Amazing how God works through all things. :) God Bless! :)

[@melaniecampbell7055]

She was probably saying goodbye and I love you. Animals are like that.

[@daforkgaming3320]

@@vacancywithin I heard that some pets will even leave their owners when they're about to die in attempt to not make them feel sad. Unfortunately I have no evidence to prove the legitimacy of this information. May your cat rest in peace.

[@REXXSEVEN]

@@daforkgaming3320 I can almost confirm that this is true. Based on something that happened with a dog when I was a child.

[@dietotaku]

@@daforkgaming3320 it's less about not making the owners feel sad and more of an instinct to not attract scavengers and predators to their den, since predators will seek out old and sick animals as easy prey.

[@TobiNightcore]

Thanks to you, Smoothie's memory has been immortalized on the internet. She lived a great life thanks to you, and we will all remember her

[@malcontender6319]

Rest assured, the squirrels appreciate all you do. I'm certain sweet Smoothie agrees. May she rest in squirrel heaven.

Thank you ❤️

[@cherylreichardt]

I'm so sorry about Smoothie. I know how it feels to have a bond with these darling squirrels. I too got a stuffed animal in memory of Pete a squirrel I cared for. ❤🐿 Smoothie will always be special! ❤🙏🐿

[@thescarlettbandit5542]

One of the biggest downfalls of loving wild animals is that we can’t always get to them or know where they go when something happens. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, well it was/is for me, it’s hard not to get attached to these wonderfully cheeky intelligent little beings. So, I’m sorry to hear about Smoothie. I’m glad you have many little friends around you to help lift your spirits while you grieve, including us 🕊💕

[@Jph1602]

I love how they take food from your hand

[@audiocoffee]

I know what it's like to lose a 'garden pet'. I was lucky enough to capture mine and Halftails last ever visit. there was just something about her that told me 'this is it'. and I cried for days. she showed me trust, friendship, took a nap on the kitchen windowsill, and she was just awesome. she taught me so much. I left the videos as they were, feel free to watch them when you're able to - I get emotional about them too. I said 'garden pet' because that's the literal interpretation of what they are - and being woke up at daft o'clock in the morning in spring with an upset squirrel 'waaaaaaa... kuk kuk waaaaaa' because another squirrel got too close. and with the window ajar enough, that gets amplified - and living in a ground floor flat where I prefer the doors open and the windows open in spring, well, if the birdsong doesn't get you at 3am, two squirrels squabbling over feeder rights at 8am definitely will!!! unfortunately, grey squirrels are treated lower than vermin here in the uk. but, we owe it to them to help them as much as we dare try to. and we can't help being who we are and we can't help but respect all who attends our feeders and protect them - that is who we are. that is what has made us. our eyes see their perspective. if Smoothie had kids, you can be sure they're still around. they'll be somewhere close by. I reckoned my Halftail was at least 6 or 7 years old. she instigated the friendship... I was just happy to be the 'nut supplier'. if it was raining, she'd damned near break the window trying to get to sit inside out of the wet and get a bite to eat - couldn't deny her, no matter how hard I tried! I know there's definitely offspring roaming around here - they all know where the windowsill is! we just have to keep being us. keep feeding, keeping watch, and being there.

[@bonepaper]

Your video of Halftail's last visit made me cry. That she would come to see you one more time even when she was clearly struggling shows how much she loved you. It's incredible that she lived so long; most squirrels are lucky to make it past a year in the wild, from what I've read. I have no doubt that having you for a friend is a large part of the reason she made it as long as she did. And there's so much wisdom and truth in what you wrote in the description for that video. These animals are special. They have a lot to teach us if we're willing to pay attention. In their small but boundless souls, I see a microcosm of all that matters in any life: love, friendship, the struggle to survive in a sometimes harsh world, and gratitude for the great gift of being born. Your Halftail reminds me of my Newsom. I have a group of daily backyard visitors now (some of whom allow me to feed them by hand, which will always feel like the most incredible gesture of trust to me), but long before I ever saw a single squirrel set foot on my property, there was one little grey lady who made her home in a park I visit a few times a week. She insisted on becoming my friend. She was the first squirrel I formed a special bond with, and the first one who let me hand-feed her on a regular basis. She would cover the entire length of the park just to get to me and say hello. And she outranked everyone. If anyone dared to get too close while she was eating, she would start grumbling like a furry little monster truck. But she was always so gentle with me. I'll never forget the first time she reached out and grabbed my finger. I knew her for just shy of two years. I got to watch her grow up. The last time I saw her, I knew something was wrong. She knew it too, but she could only tell me with her eyes. I still don't know if she was sick or just worn down. I know a squirrel's life is hard. She looked physically fine, but the light in her eyes was fading. She looked at me like she was saying goodbye. On my next walking day, I found her not far from the spot we'd first met. It was like she was trying to hold on long enough to see me one more time, and she just couldn't make it. She's buried in my back yard, so she'll always be in a safe place. For a good week or two after I lost her, just thinking about her made me weep like nothing ever has. I didn't know I could love any living thing that much. The sting of that loss is still there. I know it always will be. But more than anything, what I feel now is a profound happiness that I was lucky enough to know her at all, and that she chose me to be her person. She shows up in my dreams once in a while. That gives me comfort. And I can feel that she's still around in some form, watching over me and my surviving furry friends. I read a great quote once. I think it was from someone who was talking about pet rats, and how painfully short their lives are. I think it applies to our special squirrel friends too: "They may only be here for a small portion of our lives, but we're fortunate enough to love them for all of theirs."

[@celia6564]

So sorry about Halftail.

[@michaelcline3123]

I had a squirrel years ago. I used to feed out side my kitchen window. We had breakfast together . Very nice. He was smart too..out smarted a cat trying to catch him. The cat went up the tree. He came down the same time. And watched the cat looking for him, in the tree. Lol

[@jefforton9122]

Very sorry to hear about Smoothie’s loss. It’s always heartbreaking when you get particularly close to a wild animal (or indeed any creature) & then something happens to them 😢 It’s good you have so much support from your other regular visitors though. Seeing Squint reach for your hand after he’d taken his almond was adorable. You’ve built some truly special & unique relationships with each of them. Thank you for sharing.

[@smallfavors]

Hello there Dearie, I'm so sad to hear Smoothie had passed away.... My heart was heavy already, as one of our little guys, who had a a growth or tumor on his side, for the last few months, fell vey ill on this past Thursday, he could barely stand up, and stayed with me for most of the day, and into the evening.. I could tell he likely not make it thru the night. I cried with him, till he was able to climb his favorite tree for the last time that night.. I'm still sad, thinking of him.. Take care Dearie... Much love....

Technology has finally brought us the blessing of watching squirrels arrive at a window to eat food in a maximally cute fashion with their furry, somehow relatable faces and little "hands". If you were feeding fish to sharks or like whole cows or whatever they could eat, it probably wouldn't be as cute. See ya, Bessie--Jaws be hangry!
