Not all squirrels are shot at

When my wife was a girl, her brother came home with a baby squirrel they christened Missy. Builders had been clearing the woods out behind their house and destroyed quite a few nests. Well, her mom and dad nursed the squirrel, feeding it with an eye dropper. It eventually grew up and had the run of the house. My in-laws still talk about how it would take toilet paper from the upstairs bathroom and pull it (one continuous strand) down to its nest in the basement. In the morning, while my father-in-law shaved at the sink, Missy would stand on the edge and wash her face. As most here can agree, squirrels aren't stupid.
