I think if one can discribe ones self to easily they're a bit of an egotist. I think we are a complexed composite of what we see in ourselves and what others see in us.

Lovely Pics. Would love to know more about Finnegan.
Hema,
Here is the story of Finnegan, there was also a few more pictures but since this is a shared computer I didn't want to be selfish and take up more desktop space.
Subject: Finnegan - the Squirrel
For about as long as she can remember, Debby Cantlon says, friends and strangers have brought her animals in need. So it wasn't much of a surprise when someone asked her if she'd care for a newborn squirrel found at the base of a tree somewhere near Renton.
Debby Cantlon, who plans to release Finnegan, the young squirrel, back into the wild, bottle-fed the infant squirrel after it was brought to her house.
When Cantlon took in the tiny creature and began caring for him, she found herself with an unlikely nurse's aide: her pregnant Papillon, Mademoiselle Giselle.
Finnegan was resting in a nest in a cage just days before Giselle was due to deliver her puppies.
Cantlon and her husband watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage twice to her own bedside before she gave birth.
Cantlon was concerned, yet ultimately decided to allow the squirrel out and the inter-species bonding began.
Finnegan rides a puppy mosh pit of sorts, burrowing in for warmth after feeding, and eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates.
Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle allowed Finnegan to nurse; family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups.
Now, Finnegan mostly uses a bottle, but still snuggles with his "siblings" in a mosh pit of puppies, rolling atop their bodies and sinking in deeply for a nap.
Finnegan and his new litter mates, five Papillion puppies, get along together as if they were meant to.
Finnegan naps after feeding.
Finnegan makes himself at home with his new litter mates, nuzzling nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding.
Send this along to brighten someone's day!
We should all learn from Finnegan and the gang to get along with one another no matter what "species" we are! ;-)
The maternal instinct brings out the best and the worst in all species, doesn't it? Finnegan's story being one super example of the healing touch the regenerative power of motherhood.
Beautiful pics, and impressive, thought provoking story of Finnegan, hope we human beings can also live alike forgetting these so called caste and other differences.
Thanks for sharing Exseno :)

Id it is,
Yes Finnegan is healthy and happy, he is being nurtured and loved the Mother Dog even lets him feed from her along with her puppys. I think it's amazing the way she took over caring for him.
Samrina,
That is a wonderful thing to hope for. I hope and I pray for the same thing.
I want a Finnegan!
Becky,
No you don't. I raised one from a baby like like Finnegan. He was a member of our family. But when he got old enough to mate he wanted to be on his own, so we let him out in the back yard and he went up a tree next to the house and I guess he found a wife, because he never came back. He was wonderfully gentle the whole time that we had him so it broke my heart when he didn't even come back to see us once in a while.
HEY STRANGER! I just realized that comments are being moderated now... I was wondering why I didn't have any! I had like 31 that I didn't know existed... I just thuoght no one loved me anymore! Yours are all up now!
Oh this is beautiful.
Its always so heartwarming to see this unconditional kind of love.
Thank you for sharing these with us.
