Yesterday, one of the gardeners saw this little guy fall about 25 feet from the roof garden on to the walkway at the front of the building. He survived the fall, thankfully, and the gardener brought him back out to the roof garden . A number of the residents of the building have been watching over him and making sure he has food since it appears that he’s a bit too young to be on his own but his mother seems to be nowhere to be seen.
He’s incredibly friendly. The gardener has been out to visit him during the day and the window washers, who are now here doing the spring clean, are as fascinated by this little squirrel as the rest of us! I looked out at one point today and there were the two window washers — one of them with Sammy on his arm and the other watching over him.
Every time DH goes anywhere near the roof garden, Sammy (as we have dubbed him) runs to see him and climb up his legs!
He spent hours out on the roof garden today with Sammy — at one point Sammy had crawled up his sleeve and was curled up having a nap.
A little nest was made for him in a cardboard box with a facecloth and Sammy seems to be quite happy with that accommodation.
As we were supposed to have a fairly heavy rainstorm today/tonight and as raccoons have been known to be on the roof garden, one of our neighbours took him in for the night and made him a cozy little spot indoors. We would have brought him in to our apartment, but were somewhat afraid the kitties would think he was an appetizer!
We’re hoping to find an animal wrangler in the film business who will take Sammy and let him lead a cushy life as a squirrel star!
To keep this somewhat quilt related, the little 9-patch blocks for the teddy bear quilt are now all complete and I have started putting the rows together. My goal is to have it finished by the end of the weekend.

Oh my goodness, I’ve never seen anything like this. My Fudge likes them for a snack, but 99% of the time she’s looking at them from the bottom of a tree.

What an amazing story! It’s incredible how he is happy to be with people. I wonder whether it will last as he grows up?

Isn’t he so cute! Sounds like he has found himself a very good place to live -LOL We have lots of squirrel out here that can become quite tame – asking for food all the time. I think they are pretty smart little guys.

I think your Sammy is so cute. It reminds me of my son in first grade. His class did a skit for PTA and he was Sammy squirrel! Complete with ears and a tail! I called him my squirrely whirley for years after!

What a cute little guy! I can remember my grandmother befriending a little squirrel in her garden and he would go from one person’s lap to the other have a nibble of some food and then have a little wee then would start to whole process again with the next person.Glad to read in your later post that he’s in good hands.
