Don't you hate it when someone puts their nuts in your hair?

Evidently this one woman does not mind.

A woman lives with an injured squirrel she saved from the roadside – and he now hides nuts in her hair as he prepares for winter.

Mandy McKenna first rescued Horatio when she found him lying concussed on a verge. Not knowing whether he had been struck by a car or not, she took him into her home to rest – but rather than staying at her house for a few days to recover, he got attached to his new human companion and is now living with her permanently.

He travels around with her in her handbag, watches TV with her on the sofa – and he hides nuts all over the house.

But she’s also now discovered that Horatio stores nuts in her hair as he naturally prepares for hibernation.

Mandy, who is from Shepton Mallet, Somerset, recalled the rescue by saying: “I was coming back from work when I found him near the prison. He was concussed and giving out a distress noise and freaking out when a car came along.

“He spent the first week in my scarf or in my hair. I would just carry him around like that and he even came to Aldi with me; no one would notice, or only when they looked closely.

“Now I take him to the shop where I work and when I go to friends’ houses. I have a handbag for him, so he can go inside if he wants to curl up and have a rest.

“At home he just puts you in a good mood … He is so cool, it’s impossible not to be in a good mood around him.
“When I watch TV he sits on the back of the sofa and hides nuts in my hair. Sometimes I move something in the house and find out he stashed nuts there.
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wp-c...illow-SWNS.jpg “He eats mostly vegetables and nuts, he likes ham, broccoli and corn on the cob, and I make him squirrel flapjacks for extra calcium.”
Horatio is not the first animal Mandy has rescued, but it is the first who has refused to leave.

“I am from a city, but I love living here and being closer to nature,” she said. “I have rescued injured birds and bats, but this is the only one that has stayed with me. I rescued a squirrel about ten years ago after he had fallen from a tree. He stayed with me for three days and then went back into the wild.

“I’ve tried to release him, but he keeps coming back and endangering himself on the road.

I've had my nuts in some strange places, but never in some bird's hair

That story made my day!!:up: Thanks.

Being serious for a minute, the one thing I liked is that she tried to set the squirrel free several times. :up:

While its a cute story, it is always a bad idea to try domesticating a wild animal. That includes squirrels, wolves, badgers, cougars, moose, coyotes, hawks, you get the idea.

:oops:

See... this woman wouldn't like me very much.

When I see a squirrel burying nuts out in the yard, I wait till it's done, and gone.

Then I go fry up a grilled cheese sandwich.

Then I dig up the nuts, and replace it with the grilled cheese.

Then I wait till spring and they start rooting around for their nuts. I set up my camera to capture the looks on their faces when they discover the acorn has magically transformed into a grilled cheese sandwich.

This lady probably wouldn't appreciate me putting grilled cheese in her hair.

Of course, you never know.....

Yours is a lonely life, isn't it?....

Women? :03:

It is always a risky job to try to domesticate a woman.

That's why we see shows like "Wives with knifes".
Notice there's no "Husbands with knives"?
