Name: "Boo-boo"
Sex: Male
Kind: Gray Squirrel
Home: Florida
Life History: Boo-Boo is a Florida grey squirrel. He was orphaned when his nest fell from its tree when he was one (1) day old. He sustained some neurological damage from the fall, and due to impaired motor skills, couldn't be returned to the wild. Therefore, "Boo-Boo" became a special member of a family. "Boo-Boo" has become an Official Squirrel Ambassador, meeting people from all walks of life. He travels with his owners on vacation, and has been through eleven (11) states so far. When people meet Ambassador "Boo-Boo", they always ask questions. This gives an opportunity for his owners to share information about squirrels and what to do with orphaned squirrels. "Boo-Boo" has his own business cards, has published his own calendar, and had his picture taken with Santa Claus. He was voted Eclipse Magazine's first "Pet of the Month", was the only non-human participant in the 1996 Annual Run for the Turtles, and recently received a certificate from the Disabled American Veterans as a Commander's Club Gold Leader. On July 4, 1996, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune published "Boo-Boo"'s picture and an article about him in their newspaper. In September of 1996, "Boo-Boo" became a Florida corporation. "Boo-Boo" Inc. is the name of his corporation. Among other ventures, his corporation has a Wrecker/Towing Service with "Boo-Boo"'s picture on the doors of the tow truck. "Boo-Boo" is the V.P. of Public Relations for his corporation. "Boo-Boo"'s health care needs are taken care of by his personal physicians, Dr. Janet Whitlock, Beneva Animal Hospital, and Dr. M.A. Salisbury, Animal Eye Care. With their help and by the grace of God, "Boo-Boo" celebrated his nineth (9th) birthday October 26, 1997.
Physical Description/Personality: He is spoiled rotten, the joy of our lives and one "Special Little Guy". "Boo-Boo" is an accomplished sculpor. Out of whole walnut shells he has chiseled with his teeth: a basket with handle, 4 hanging chairs, and the letter "C" (the beginning letter of his last name). Out of a whole almond shell, he chiseled a cornucopia (horn-of-plenty). And out of a Tums he made a finger ring (about a size 4). "Boo-Boo" also has his own web site with pictures.

Kind: black-tailed prairie dog
Home: (yet to be updated)
Life History: She was vaccuumed from a burrow in Oklahoma as a pup last year. Her owner got her in May (1997), spayed her in August, and she had surgery for adhesions in December. It was touch and go for a while, but she has fully recovered. She was a wild little PD when her owner first got her, but she tamed quickly.
Physical Description and Personality: She is a little sweetheart--she loves to be cuddled and cooed to--but her nesting and burrowing instincts are very strong, so she has to closely be supervised when she's out and about. She chews on everything. She comes when she's called.
Owner: Cindy Helfrich
Name: Flyer
Sex: Female
Kind: Southern Flying Squirrel
Home: West Monroe, Louisiana
Life History: She was blown out of a hidden nest as a baby, about 3 - 4 months old. She came home with her owner and has pretty much stayed. She's always been pretty tame and friendly. She lives in a large habatrail that allows her lots of climbing opportunities, but few gliding, so every night for a few hours she is let out of her cage to "play" She will fuss at you when you try to put her up too!
Physical Description and Personality: The owner is not quite sure she's female...she's not a year old yet so the jury is still out *S* She is small, only a few ounces. She looks like a flying squirrel should. She has a wonderfully curious personality. She is friendly and seems happy enough. She loves to jump from one person to another and to bury her treats in my sofa cusions for later snacking.

Sex: Female
Kind: Southern Flying Squirrel
Home: St. Louis
Life History: Kiwi was given to her owner as an approximately 8 month old juvenile (was to be sold to a pet store, but she is too old to bond and be a good pet without a lot of patience)
Physical Description and Personality: Healthy
Owner: Dr. Debra Plahn
Name: Lightening
Sex: Male
Kind: Fox Squirrel
Home: West Monroe, Louisiana
Life History: Lightening is a new squirrel for Jennifer, the owner. He was sick and either fell or was pushed from his nest at around 4 weeks old. Jennifer's sister's dog got him and she rescued him but left him for dead on the carport over night. When she checked the next morning, he was alive, so she called Jennifer. She took him to school with her feeding him soy baby formula with a syringe and when he was still alive at 3:00, she had to take him to the vet. A shot and some antibiotics and a week later, he was a new squirrel!!
Physical description/Personality: Jennifer has been told by several people that he will be mean when he gets bigger, but she don't believe it. He sits in her hand or on her shoulder and eats from the bottle, he comes running when he hears her voice and "cherbals" at me trying to talk. He LOVES his belly to be scratched and is very well mannered, well, most of the time anyway....*L*
Owner: Jennifer
Name: Lilly
Sex: Female
Kind: Prevost Squirrel
Home: Port Charlotte, FL
Life History: Bought from a pet shop at age 4 weeks. Her eyes were just open. She required frequent feedings so she went to work with her new "mom" every day. She was very social and loved to scamper around the office (with the door closed!) She was born Dec. 4, 1996 so she is about 17 months old now. She is still friendly most of the time, but she prefers to run araound the house so she squirms alot when you hold her. She will settle down and sleep under the covers with her mom all night if she is invited. Nights are the best time for handling. She has also actually attacked a few people over the last 9 months (including owner) and is capable of making a really serious bloody mess of an arm in a second or too. Don't know what triggers these attacks. She has flown to several other towns in a pouch with her mom on vacation, but is starting to get too aggressive for her to be comfortable doing this much more unless she can figure out a way to tame her back down a little. She and her mom are friends but she isn't too interested in other people anymore and with the attacking she has done, her mom is leary of letting others handle her.
Physical Description and Personality: Absolutely beautiful. She is plump and tri-colored. Her underside is reddish brown from her chin to her backside and her upperside is black with a black tail. The 2 colors are separated by a white stripe (like pinstriping on a car). She is smaller than our gray squirrels and her tail is sparcer and has a curl in it so that it doesn't look bushy like the gray squirrels.
