Skooter the Baby Squirrel

Last evening Brandy (AKA: Sissy) & her boyfriend Nick brought Zoe a surprise, a baby squirrel they named Skooter. Apparently where Nick was working this last week, a nest of baby squirrels fell out of a tree. Knowing they would not live, he & a co-worker decided to take the babies & bottle feed them until they thought the squirrels would make it on their own. As you can imagine, Zoe was thrilled to meet Skooter. Of course, she asked several times if she could keep Skooter as a pet. After saying no each time, Zoe wouldn't give up. She kept hinting with her sweet little comments. As you can see from the pictures, Skooter is a cutie. However, this Mama isn't too into animals. Plus, if we gave in to keeping Skooter, what animal would it be next? I seriously think Zoe wants to start her own farm - a dog, a hermit crab, a beta fish. Where would it end?!
