Warm the cockles of your cold, dead heart

... with this heartwarming tale.

My husband and I are into squirrels in a big way. I even trained our favorite neighborhood squirrel to take peanuts (or crackers, or garlic breadsticks) right out of my hand. It makes me feel all Snow White. So this story of squirrel domesticity really made my day (especially the photos - sickeningly cute, maybe even if you think squirrels are vermin because they are forever digging up your tulips).
