Wow, 11 years. That's quite a lifespan for an animal this little. She seems great :)

[@annachristina6539]

Your RESPONSIBLE co existence with her has led to her living years longer than normal! & they show us, that they enjoy the relationship with us, as much as we do with them. I'm a firm believer in the scripture that says God gave us the animals as a gift. Everyone who interacts with them feels it, believer or not... But I'm not trying to evangelize, I'm only here to thank you for your beautiful story.

[@jangirard2525]

This is utterly amazing! Lady Bonita is truly magical! The relationship you have with her is magnificent!! Also, I feel she loves hearing your gentle voice to be very calm and soothing! You are both blessed to have each other! 😊❤

I can't believe you have taken ticks off a wild squirrel and are brushing her. Wow! It is a wonderful world when you start looking closely at nature. I never tire of it.

I love this woman’s humble and thoughtful approach to being a friend to a wild animal. She took the time to identify what species Miss Bonita is, and what foods she needs. She made sure that feeding her wouldn’t cause her harm by encouraging comfort with other humans. She lets Miss Bonita guide their relationship and choose the activities they share. And she feels that she’s the one who’s received so much from their friendship ❤

Thanks for this story that contains a person's insights and observations. It's very detailed and thoughtful in a way that most of the wildlife videos are not, with the learning experience of a woman who has been able to gain so much from her close relationship with a particular ground squirrel and other wildlife she's come to see with more understanding and appreciation. This lady has a wonderful attitude.

You are so right about just watching and paying attention!!! Watching animals ( pets) and wildlife is a continuous learning experience and very enriching to our lives. Maybe if we did that more, we would be more appreciative and gained more respect for the world we live in instead of only using its resources and acting like pests.

[@saltycat662]

Rodents are so cute. I love how they eat with their little hands. I didn't even know a squirrel could live up to 11 yrs. Google says 3-4 and in captivity around 6 yrs. Miss Bonita is blessed with a long life, a loving bf and a caring neighbor.

Ms Bonita is magnificent. I like the "flowing river of energy we never notice" analogy. Very apt. Some people pay attention to nature more than others, for some it took a pandemic to stop and notice.

Absolutely loved this! Ms. Bonita is a charmer. 😘 I'm the crazy wildlife mama. Have to feed the raccoons first, on the patio (and change the water in their kiddy pool 🤪). Then I can feed the deer while the raccoons are busy (also, have to put out another pile of food in a different location for Bucky, the girls don't like him hanging around this time of year 😂). And finally, have to feed the squirrels and birds. And pails and pails of water. It's a labor of love. Expensive but well worth it. 🥰

[@tothelighthouse9843]

We had a pet squirrel named notch, because of her ear. Notch came to our house one winter and stayed. I deemed it a great honor when she let me rub her after we had her awhile. We kept her well fed, but once she got impatient and pushed a screen in to come in our home. You have a beautiful relationship with Bonita. If everyone took in nature each day our planet wouldn't be in the shape it's in . I am blessed to live in the woods. Much happiness to you and Bonita.

Squirrels are such wonderful little creatures. Forming a bond with one, especially one that you didn't raise from a baby, is truly magical. I have a few I've been working with for years now in my yard and several of them now respond to a food call I created and come running like dogs when called and will eat out of my hand and allow me to give their little cheeks scritches every now and again too. They never bite my finger when taking the food, they are always as gentle as they can possibly be and even make sure not to scratch with their tiny little razor claws. What's more amazing is their ability to distinguish people as they will not allow anyone else in my family to get as close as I do to them. They are just too dang adorable!

[@_Y.Not_]

So true, I also learned, after slowing down, that there is a whole very interesting world that the creatures who inhabit the direct world around us have that is fascinating. In our busy lives we overlook this, not giving much thought beyond the fact that they are there. Not just squirrels but birds, and many other small common creatures, interacting intelligently the way this woman has after observing them is like expanding your world and is a privilege.

[@willdelarosa9440]

Squirrels are very intelligent…great problem solvers…very much underrated. Wonderful video. We had a large stand of old, beautiful trees. He would arrive on the same branch at a specific time in the afternoon and we would have a conversation. He never flew down to me, but seemed to really enjoy the interaction. I can understand the wonderful emotions felt by the human in this relationship.
