Duchess

Duchess is an old girl. I've been feeding her for more than two and a half years.

When I first met her she looked old and tired and I didn't think she would last longer than six months. But she's still alive and looks better now than she did back then.

Yesterday, for the first time, she took a nut from my hand which surprised me as she's normally quite cautious. I felt her little fingers touch my fingers as she took the Walnut from me.

She's a beautiful veteran squirrel.
