Shirley

Shirley is the second newest addition to our facility! She walked up onto my porch just an hour or so after I picked up her sister. She was sitting under my barbecue grill making a valiant effort to chew through the shell of a tough Hickory nut. For this capture, I went straight in the house to get Lucky to take her with me. I was able to walk right up to Shirley and pick her up in my two hands without any resistance from her. I don't know if it was because of the squirrel on my shoulder, or the fact that she was so hungry and determined to get that Hickory nut open, it was one of the easiest captures I ever did!

It was really cute when I placed her in the cage with her sister! I wish I would have captured it on video! They appeared to hug and embrace each other as they sniffed each other and realized that they were reunited!
