Squirrels Mammals 
June 9—Furry sleeps nights in the top drawer of 
my desk; he crawls in from behind. When I pull out 
the drawer he pops out and scares me nearly out of 
my wits; but he keeps his wits about him and gets 
away before I can catch him. 
June 20—I keep the window open so Furry can 
run out and in and learn to take care of himself out- 
of-doors. 
August 20—Furry soon learned to take care of 
himself, though he often returns for nuts, which I 
keep for himina bowl. He does not come very near 
me out-of-doors, but he often speaks to me in a 
friendly manner from a certain pitch pine tree near 
the house. 
There are many blank leaves in Furry’s note-book. 
I wish that he could have written on these what he 
thought about me and my performances. It would 
certainly have been the most interesting book con- 
cerning squirrels in the world.
