Well we can’t say she’s not well fed 😂
😂
Ms. Bonita is chonky!
Big chonk
Haha I love squirrels
That's all you took away from this vid?
Wow, 11 years. That's quite a lifespan for an animal this little. She seems great :)
Your RESPONSIBLE co existence with her has led to her living years longer than normal! & they show us, that they enjoy the relationship with us, as much as we do with them. I'm a firm believer in the scripture that says God gave us the animals as a gift. Everyone who interacts with them feels it, believer or not... But I'm not trying to evangelize, I'm only here to thank you for your beautiful story.
This is utterly amazing! Lady Bonita is truly magical! The relationship you have with her is magnificent!! Also, I feel she loves hearing your gentle voice to be very calm and soothing! You are both blessed to have each other! 😊❤
The squirrels in my backyard are new every year. I assume they don't live more than a year or two.
God bless you for taking care of the squirrel I live in Cape coral Florida right next to Bonita springs
God bless you for taking care of the squirrel I live in Cape coral Florida right next to Bonita springs and take care of six spayed and neutered cats for 14 years everyday
To some just a backyard, but to you a world unto itself. And you're right, and wise, that many different worlds exist within inches if we are willing to see them. Wonderful video.
Good on you lady!
I love this response!
Thank you geobeats, for featuring this sweet, kind lady. It's a great privilege to have wildlife as your friend.
I haven’t smiled this much all week. Well done ma’am, well done.
What an honour to have her in your life xx
I have been studying squirrels, possums, you name it, in Massachusetts for years. I have never heard of ground squirrels. What a remarkable array of animals you have. I can't believe you have taken ticks off a wild squirrel and are brushing her. Wow! It is a wonderful world when you start looking closely at nature. I never tire of it.
Hey Massachusetts 😊. I found this story so sweet and heartwarming🥰. I never heard of ground squirrel before this video. In Western MA, there are black squirrels, which I find fascinating. None in my yard, but I've seen them in little clusters around town🙏.
@@dangergurl4045 I grew up in Massachusetts... Eastlongmeadow and Hampden
Like marmots.
ALL of this video was wonderful! Learning, too.
If you hadn't lost your job, for whatever reason, you would never have discovered this beautiful world just a few yards from where you live. I envy you and your life.
I envy your window into nature. My sympathies on losing your job if it was precious to you.
What a lovely relationship!❤
When you leave that corporate life… you begin life. This was such a beautiful story. ❤
Such a beautiful relationship ❤❤❤
Delightful!❤
I love this one. It's wonderful to have her share these life lessons with us...
Very cool! I love the ground squirrels in Colorado. They just bring good vibes when they show up. Never mean. ❤❤❤
This person should become an ethologist! This was one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen.
. . . .or a children's story book writer. Beautiful narration!
A clinic in how to appreciate nature.
This is one of the most beautiful human and animal stories I have every seen and I have been around for several decades. Thank you for sharing this amazing relationship.
Magical.
A friend, is a friend, is a friend.
Ms. Bonita and you are very lucky to have found one another.
So beautiful to see. ❤
Λατρευω τους ανθρωπους που το κανουν αυτο για αυτα τα υπεροχα πλασματακια!!! Ειναι οι καλυτεροι ανθρωποι!!! Υπεροχο βιντεο!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes! ❤❤❤
@@riahynanevamynd7698Να εισαι παντα καλα!!!🙋♀️🫶🫶💞💞🙏🙏
Ahhh. Love her♥️♥️♥️😘
Beautiful story
Nature is so beautiful and peaceful.
Oh how i loved watching and learning from this... thank you!!
Precious. What a precious story, and yes, it's magical, isn't it? Another "wavelength".
Lovely video! What a special gift to have formed such an extraordinary animal/human bond. I love Ms Bonita! 🐿 🍏🥬💕💕❤😊
Beautiful.
Helped her have a safe place and enough food to raise 11 generations is pretty cool.
That was a really beautiful narrative, Ms Bonita is very sweet, I hope she has even more years to come.
Ms. Bonita is a very special creature! I'm so envious right now. I want a special squirrel to like me as much as Ms. Bonita likes you!
You are so right about just watching and paying attention!!! Watching animals ( pets) and wildlife is a continuous learning experience and very enriching to our lives. Maybe if we did that more, we would be more appreciative and gained more respect for the world we live in instead of only using its resources and acting like pests.
I love this woman’s humble and thoughtful approach to being a friend to a wild animal. She took the time to identify what species Miss Bonita is, and what foods she needs. She made sure that feeding her wouldn’t cause her harm by encouraging comfort with other humans. She lets Miss Bonita guide their relationship and choose the activities they share. And she feels that she’s the one who’s received so much from their friendship ❤
This is the coolest story 😊❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful friendship with Ms Bonita! I love when people open their eyes to the wonders of nature in their own backyard; it's magical. And thank you for showing us how special ground squirrels are ❤ interesting!
Very Educational video. what a precious relationship connecting with nature is priceless. her name says it all.
I’m (animal) crazy, and love this type of story. Politics, weather, crime.. sucks the life out of me. Thank you, Ms Bonita and LuAnn, and GEOBEATS. 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Me too julie!🙂it can be soul sucking😞
Amen, they suck the life out of me, too! Animals are such a gift!
@@maureenobrien9815 100% I will take anything beautiful about animals anyday.
Me too! Happy to see so many other vegans here, those who respect and have compassion for animals! 💚
I didn’t know there were such things as ‘ground squirrels’🐿️
Thank you for telling us all about the beautiful Ms. Bonita and her partner Sledge! This Aussie enjoyed the tale very much. Thanks for providing the wildlife around your home with such a safe and welcoming space ❤🇦🇺
groundhogs/marmots and prairie dogs are also related to ground squirrels
😊 I enjoyed this very much.❤
@@bird2112 Cool thanks for that ☺️ We don’t have any of those species here. We actually don’t even have squirrels. Always nice to learn about new animals.
@@TheAstroflightTo destroy these animals without knowing their proper place in nature could be disruptive for people to, we don’t know what keeps or how certain animals maintain more potential predators at bay, by one keeping population down of a more dangerous future threat, I hope one day people don’t regret the killing off of these animals who can potentially be beneficial to us. God created all people and creatures, I hope someday they don’t decide to fight back.
@@anniegarcia828 You need to stop and think about the meaning of 'introduced pest' or as Americans call them, 'invasive species'.
Truly incredible
Oh, the joy I got from this story! Thank you. 💜
Beautiful heartwarming story.
Thanks for this story that contains a person's insights and observations. It's very detailed and thoughtful in a way that most of the wildlife videos are not, with the learning experience of a woman who has been able to gain so much from her close relationship with a particular ground squirrel and other wildlife she's come to see with more understanding and appreciation. This lady has a wonderful attitude.
Thank you for sharing your relationship with this amazing animal. You should write a book. I’m looking at my squirrels differently today!
I had a rat coming around for a while. I knew who it was from it’s broken tail. My cats brought it in several times, then I found it in my pool skimmer holding on for dear life, while it was running, so I saved it again. I said “one more time and I’m buying you a cage!!” I never saw it again 😢
Rodents are so cute. I love how they eat with their little hands. I didn't even know a squirrel could live up to 11 yrs. Google says 3-4 and in captivity around 6 yrs. Miss Bonita is blessed with a long life, a loving bf and a caring neighbor.
Wild animals lead far, far more complex lives than we realize. That is until we watch them carefully, like this sweet lady! Wonderful video about living with nature harmoniously. Bless her.
Ms Bonita loves her baby daddy Sledge because his scars prove he's a real man's man and will take care of her and those babies at all costs🥰🐿
Very well said!
Such a beautiful relationship they have 🥺😍❤️
🐿️❤
Absolutely fascinating! And I'd never heard of California ground squirrels before! I'm so impressed by your kindness and your humility. ❤🐿
I agree! I’ll have to google. Fascinating ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed!
#2FreshBuns agrees, this was very interesting!
I'm from California. I used to jog along the river pathway. Ground squirrels will scatter into dens and tree squirrels running up the trees. It's interesting to see different species co existing together.
Such a wonderful and priceless relationship.
What a lovely relationship between a squirrel and a human - and also very informative - the first time I've heard of ground squirrels. Long live Ms Bonita!
Wonderful and fascinating, my day always feels better after watching this channel :)
Thank you, Luann, for helping Ms. Bonita- so cute.
Sledge is the baby daddy 😂 too cute. I love this ❤
**OH HOW WONDERFUL THIS LOVING STORY IS!! THANK YOU, MY FRIEND!!**
A beautiful story so eloquently shared.
11?! Wow! She's so cute! ❤
Ms Bonita is magnificent. I like the "flowing river of energy we never notice" analogy. Very apt. Some people pay attention to nature more than others, for some it took a pandemic to stop and notice. Many folk have returned to their former oblivion. It's great to know the wonderful Ms Bonita (and fellow garden tenants) are noticed amd appreciated all year round.
This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing your curiosity and kindness with us. ❤
Thank you for joining us ❤️
As horrible as the lockdowns were, alot of people then had the opportunity to slow down & reflect, and as this woman here, learn just how loving & beautiful our wild animal friends are ❤
There are always gifts in trauma.
What a lovely message this lady gave!
I'm sure this was long before Covid lockdowns if she knew the squirrel was 11 years old.
Yes. I noticed there were quite a few people, of all walks of life and financial situations, could not accept any change that wasn't their choice first.
Your comment is loving and beautiful.💗
Thank you for taking the time to get to know her, in turn you have made a friend and enriched her life.
Thank u for your words on slowing down and watching nature I used to do that B4 my grandson was born now he's 4 so it's time to share nature with him so thx for that pause! Thank u for sharing Ms. Bonita too. I'll be sharing this video with my grandson!!!
Riveting, I wonder how long ground squirrels normally live in the wild!
2-3 years it said in the beginning of the video
Wow what a beautiful story. And a gorgeous big squirrel!!
Very sweet and adorable ❤❤❤❤
I learned a lot from this video, thank you for sharing!
What A Sweet🐿️Squirrel Family! 🐿️Sledge Must Be A Really Great, Protective Dad! And Miss🐿️Bonita Is So Trusting & Adorable💞...& I Love How You Don't Intervene With The Babies So They Can Follow Their Natural Instincts! GOOD Squirrel Research!👍 Gorgeous Vulture!
I know we love and admire the animals featured in these videos, but how many truly wonderful humans are featured, as well. So many compassionate, aware people just like the woman in this video. It warms my heart.
What a lovely story....it's so nice how people treat with kindness, caring, and loving to these AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS. 2 thumbs up all the way!
I did the same--I started noticing and feeding the animals in my backyard, and I noticed it had the side-effect of reducing my daily rat race anxiety and stress levels tremendously. My backyard is my everyday sanctuary now. Nature heals. 🙏
Beautifully narrated. Thank you. ❤
What a beautiful description on Ground Squirrels and life in general ❤
If only all humans would view life the way this beautiful lady is doing, animals would be so much safer and loved.
❤
I love this story! The lady is so right about watching wildlife and nature - it is like a river of energy, always flowing. Thank you! This is such a sweet and interesting video with Miss Bonita.
A heartwarming story 🥬🌿 An example of people respecting the natural world, and the gifts which come from those relationships 🤗 Hugs to Ms Bonita 🍎🐿️🥬💞
Absolutely loved this! Ms. Bonita is a charmer. 😘 I'm the crazy wildlife mama. Have to feed the raccoons first, on the patio (and change the water in their kiddy pool 🤪). Then I can feed the deer while the raccoons are busy (also, have to put out another pile of food in a different location for Bucky, the girls don't like him hanging around this time of year 😂). And finally, have to feed the squirrels and birds. And pails and pails of water. It's a labor of love. Expensive but well worth it. 🥰
❤❤❤
This was fascinating and educational!! Thank you for sharing! My favorite part was seeing Ms. Bonita stretching her cute little arms out, it looked very dramatic to me
Beautiful! ❤ Miss Bonita loves Sledge & he’s a tough guy but gentle with her! He’s a good protector😊 Perfect! Yes, the Sacred is all around us! We have to stop & open our eyes to it. 💚
What a beautiful story. The woman's voice and her telling of this tale took my BP down a few notches. 🥰
Oh my gosh...SO, SO SWEET! Love that momma squirrel & her entire family!❤️
This was so lovely. So few people share with nature-heart and soul knowing we are all one.
What an amazing journey this woman & Ms Bonita are sharing!
No matter where we live, we are almost always surrounded by nature if we look closely enough. A simple act like putting out water for the wildlife around you can be the beginning of an incredible journey of discovery.💖💖💖
She is adorable and I'm sure it's the "friendship" you share with her that is helping her to live longer :-) Bless you for understanding All Life Matters.
This was such a magical video and made me so happy! Long live Miss Bonita! 🐿❤
Thanks for this beautiful story, you made my day! 🐿️❣️
I just love this story!!! What a blessed woman to have this in her life.
Utterly amazing!
We had a pet squirrel named notch, because of her ear. Notch came to our house one winter and stayed. I deemed it a great honor when she let me rub her after we had her awhile. We kept her well fed, but once she got impatient and pushed a screen in to come in our home. You have a beautiful relationship with Bonita. If everyone took in nature each day our planet wouldn't be in the shape it's in . I am blessed to live in the woods. Much happiness to you and Bonita.
This is Wholesome & Adorable 🥰🥰🥰
I appreciate that this person understands the nature of it all & above all, respects it. 💜
They are absolutely beautiful and such intelligent little animals, and yes they can be extremely loving and affectionate too. We rescued an eastern grey squirrel 🐿 a little over 4 years ago, and we still have her, thank god. When it was time for her to be released she decided she wanted to stay, so of course we let her. Her name is Miss Daisy and she is literally the best little girl, I thank god for her every day!!
So true, I also learned, after slowing down, that there is a whole very interesting world that the creatures who inhabit the direct world around us have that is fascinating. In our busy lives we overlook this, not giving much thought beyond the fact that they are there. Not just squirrels but birds, and many other small common creatures, interacting intelligently the way this woman has after observing them is like expanding your world and is a privilege.
This is so beautiful!
So interesting! What a wonderful back yard full of amazing wildlife. Thank you for sharing this!!
Thank you for educating us and sharing this beautiful story ❤️❤️
Ms Bonita is so adorable 🥺😍❤️
incredible. what an honour
Squirrels are such wonderful little creatures. Forming a bond with one, especially one that you didn't raise from a baby, is truly magical. I have a few I've been working with for years now in my yard and several of them now respond to a food call I created and come running like dogs when called and will eat out of my hand and allow me to give their little cheeks scritches every now and again too. They never bite my finger when taking the food, they are always as gentle as they can possibly be and even make sure not to scratch with their tiny little razor claws. What's more amazing is their ability to distinguish people as they will not allow anyone else in my family to get as close as I do to them. They are just too dang adorable!
Squirrels are very intelligent…great problem solvers…very much underrated. Wonderful video. We had a large stand of old, beautiful trees. He would arrive on the same branch at a specific time in the afternoon and we would have a conversation. He never flew down to me, but seemed to really enjoy the interaction. I can understand the wonderful emotions felt by the human in this relationship.
