Clyde, All Grown Up

For those of you who were keeping track of the baby squirrels, here is the update, good and bad. First: the good news--Clyde is living in my son's backyard with full access to the rest of the world. He chooses to come home at night to sleep in his big cage with all the necessary comforts. And if he's in the mood, he will come when coaxed with food treats. Today it was avocado. Clyde will let Treekeeper pet him, but hisses at everyone else.

The very sad news is that his sister, Bonnie, is with us no more. She, too, was enjoying the world, but had gone missing a week or so ago. Today they found her body on the roof, and she was buried in the yard with full honors.
