BEST FRIENDS—Rachel Spafford, daughter of Paula Spafford and granddaughter of Shirley Hall, feeds a friendly squirrel in the back patio of her Westlake Village home. Rachel says the squirrel visits frequently for snacks and even sits on her lap to receive the handouts. Please send us your Squirrel of the Month submissions and also your Critter Tails, those stories about pets and animals that you’d like to share with The Acorn readers.
