Summer was released at my friend's house, lots of trees and far away from the road. Since her release, I have visited her many times and each time she remembers me! I nailed her house in a tree and she has filled it with leaves, just like her wild friends. Summer is spoiled rotten and has access to food 24/7, and if the food barrel is empty, she will knock on my friend's window for a refill. Summer was friendly to everyone who visited, a little TOO friendly - she would climb up the legs of anyone who stood still long enough, so my friend has stopped the peanut hand-feeding and Summer has learned to leave visitors alone.  Of course, i had to let her climb on her "Mommy" - enjoy the pictures ofSummer IN THE WILD (well, sort of :-)

Wild animals should be seen through a camera lens, not a cage.

Rescue, Raise, and RELEASE.

Summer knew where to find the peanuts when I visited - in my pockets! She has grown into a beautiful young lady, and I am so proud of her. I am also grateful to my friends who put up with Summer's nonsense! Thank you Roy  and Janie - you are gems to our wildlife!

My beautiful girl, all grown up and

enjoying life in the luxury of her own house! Can we say "spoiled"??

Roy, Summer's new dad, who spoils her rotten!

I love you, little girl! Be nice to Roy and Janie - they love you, too!
