00:00Everyone seemed to agree that he was the ring inspector, because he's so curious about
00:10whatever I'm working on.
00:11Whatever I'm doing with my hands, he wants to be part of.
00:14So he has to smell it, taste it, look at it, touch it.
00:18He's very bright.
00:20He looks you right in the eyes.
00:22He's really affectionate.
00:25He's a lot more personality than you would ever think from a squirrel.
00:30The long-term dream was always to have a shop in Florida.
00:33So we're here.
00:34Did you ever imagine that there'd be a squirrel at this dream shop?
00:38No.
00:39That was not in the plan.
00:41Show your wife what you have.
00:45He was found by a neighbor right in the middle of the street.
00:49You're a big, big boy, aren't you?
00:52His eyes were closed.
00:53He was very tiny.
00:54The first thing we tried to do was to put it out to see if the mother would reclaim.
00:59And there was no activity with that.
01:02So that pretty much confirmed that there was no mother.
01:06I mean, what's going to happen?
01:09We started caring for it.
01:11I had to bottle feed him every three hours through the night.
01:16He's like grandma.
01:19She's like mom.
01:22We spent a lot of time together.
01:24He was just really sweet and would just sit and fall asleep on me.
01:27His eyes are open now.
01:29He's running around a lot.
01:31Oh my God.
01:32Oh my God.
01:33Yes.
01:34Three or four days in, he was starting to begin to chew.
01:36It's good to get real food.
01:38I know.
01:39You're growing up.
01:41I had no idea what I was taking on.
01:48I was surprised at how attached to me he became.
01:53He literally just wants to be with me.
01:57He grows incredibly fast.
02:00He's more to handle now.
02:04He'll race around.
02:05He can be scratchy.
02:06He can be nibbly.
02:08It's a lot.
02:11We're slowly in transition.
02:13We've been taking him out and he starts wandering out in the world.
02:18He's got a safe place to run back to.
02:21It's a hard choice.
02:22The whole point of it was to help him get back to nature and be in that life.
02:27Charlie has been a surprising friend.
02:31Animals in the wild are as precious as the animals that we have in our home.
02:38I will never look at squirrels the same.
02:40They're a lot more personality than you would think.
