I’m too brain dead this early morning to think of a name. However, are you able to take a video of this cute little critter and post it?

Redwood seems sufficiently gender-neutral, and still squirrelish.

I vote for Redwood too. Lots of room for nicknames too, as its personality continues to emerge.

How about Punky? Gender neutral I would think… Only a punky-style squirrel would put red liner around their eyes! lol

Red-iculous.

Dad

It’s “Reddy” whenever you are.

How about Spunky? “The others must have thought it was nuts.” Well, yeah! Walnuts.

Humor –
This just came in this morning. It’s a bit long, but, …

BIBLE SALES
A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial troubles. While checking the church storeroom,he discovered several cartons of new bibles that had never been
opened and distributed. So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for volunteers from the congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise the desperately needed
money for the church.

Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task. The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles.
But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had always kept to himself because he was embarrassed by his speech
impediment. Poor Louis stuttered badly. But, not wanting to discourage Louis, the minister decided to let him try anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately asked Jack, “Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?”

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, “Using my sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here’s the $200 I collected on behalf of the church.”

“Fine job, Jack!” The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand. “You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you.”

Turning to Paul, “And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the Church last week?”

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, “I am a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the church, and here’s $280 I collected.”

The minister responded, “That’s absolutely splendid, Paul. You are truly a professional salesman and the church is indebted to you.”

Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, “And Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?” Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope.

The minister opened it and counted the contents. “What is this?” the minister exclaimed. “Louie, there’s $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?”

Louie just nodded. “That’s impossible!” both Jack and Paul said in unison. “We are professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many bibles as we could.”

“Yes, this does seem unlikely,” the minister! agreed. “I think you’d better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie.”

Louie shrugged. “I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don’t kn-kn-know f-f-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure,” he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. “For crying out loud, Louie, just tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!”

“A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was,” Louis replied, “W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks —o-o-o-or— wo-wo-would yo-you j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??”

               

Red Wood, or R. W. for short.
(which is silly, as Redwood has 2 syllables, and R. W. has four!)

How about rosso(Italian for red), rubicund(synonym of red), scarlet(synonym of red), or vermilion(synonym of red).
Happy naming!

Scarlet-o-hairy?

Scarlet-o-furry?

Just plain “Scarlet”?

Super Squirrel?

Nutty…(like me?)…or Blackie? I kinda like Reddy, too, though. Nutso, Chompers, Twitchy, … Lightening (as in, bolts over to you), Stretch (reaching for nuts), Nibbles… whatever works for you, dear.

Those reddish circles sound like rings…Ringo! 😉

BTW, I got a bag of praline pecans from Christmas – not something of which I am fond, but perhaps too sugary for squirrels? We don’t want to start an obesity and diabetes epidemic, after all!

Let’s see, names – Sally Jesse Raphael (do I have that right?) wore red glasses, so “Sally”? So did Sarah Palin, I think, but you have to be Of That Ilk to use that name.

Why not after a movie star with red hair? Or “Titania,” since Titan was known for painting redheads.
