In D.C. on Sunday, Panda and I came across this adorable squirrel! She was hardly scared of people and after feeding her I decided to name her Sasha.
We spotted her so close to the sidewalk, munching away at something yummy.
She ignored us for a long time as she scavenged, but then the crinkling of the bag caught her attention.
She stared right at us when we pulled out a gummy bear from the bag.
She hopped up on the ledge and began to sneak over.
She came right up to the edge to see this wonderful piece of food.
She took the gummy bear straight from my fingers and began nibbling at it furiously.
I offered her some more tempting candy as she finished gobbling up the first.
She was really eager for these! What a hungry squirrel.
She put her paws on me to grab the red one, which fell. When she didn't notice where it landed, she went for the yellow one instead.
Her paws were so soft and slightly scratchy where the nails were. I want a pet squirrel!
