Rescue Squirrel Is So Excited To Open Her Gift, and It Will Melt Your Heart
Most pet owners end up giving their beloved animals a present for Christmas or their birthday, but many pets don't truly recognize the joy of the tradition. Cats, at least, are usually more interested in climbing into the box or shredding the paper than in enjoying their new toys.
This squirrel is not only an unusual pet, but she is also incredibly eager to open her gift! The adorable squirrel, named Thumbelina, was sadly orphaned as a baby when a construction site destroyed her family's home.
Fortunately, Thumbelina was rescued by a wonderful family who treats her like a princess!
Meet Thumbelina!
Thumbelina, like a true modern woman, loves avocados!
Check out this video of Thumbelina opening her favorite gift: an avocado.
Christina's mom told The Dodo:
“She was in shock for a moment, and then her eyes lit up as she dug in. She’s only allowed to have a little bit at a time, but it was Christmas, and Santa wanted her to have it, so she got a few extra bites before we took it away to save for later.”
Just look at how fashionable she is!
Thumbelina's family plans to release her back into the wild one day, once it is safe enough for her.
