Meet Vandy, the charming and intelligent squirrel who has been my treemate and friend for the past three years. Named after his former treemates Valentine and Vincent, Vandy is a cautious creature who usually keeps his distance from humans. However, our long-term companionship has earned me a special place in his heart, and he now views me as part of his squirrel family. From his early days as a baby squirrel, I have watched Vandy grow into a respected member of the community, gaining status and recognition among his peers. We have shared many moments together, from playful chases to heartwarming cuddles, and our bond only continues to grow stronger. Vandy is more than just a squirrel friend to me, he is a constant source of joy and companionship in my life.
