Meet Hilary, a charming squirrel who is far from ordinary. She has lived in my home for one winter, during which I taught her to stand up and wave—sometimes even jumping while doing so! With her large, expressive eyes and the striking white fur around them (known as the "spectacle" or "eye ring"), she is one of the prettiest squirrels I've ever seen. Her face and jaw are also beautifully white, which gives her a distinct, elegant look. As a mother, she and her daughter Honeymoon share an uncanny resemblance, and Hilary is a loving and responsible mom. Hilary’s favorite treats include avocado and croissants, and she’s remarkably polite around other squirrels, never acting aggressively. Sweet, smart, and full of personality, she can even fit exactly 2.5 pecan halves in her mouth!
