Here is a photo of Bubba back on the old Permafrost Ranch when he was just a young buck.

Looking back in time.  We have been on the road for over a year this month.  This is a picture of Bubba when he was a young buck squirrel.

This is the last picture I captured of Bubba, farewell my old friend.  I’ll never forget you and the other little squirrels here on the Ranch.

Bubba is still around and is visiting the feeder for a late night snack.

Ok there is some good news and bad news to update from the Permafrost Ranch.  The picture above is of a baby squirrel that is Rubys and was in the shed when we cleaned it out.  It’s Bubba’s offspring and now we know why Ruby was so hard on Bubba this winter.  She had babies in there. Now, the one we are calling Ruby was in my opinion,  the squirrel we were calling Pudge earlier this last spring who was pregnant.  The other baby must have accidently got killed in the shed when some stuff fell over, we found it there as we were cleaning it out.  As far as Bubba himself.  I’ve not seen him lately but I’ve been very busy and have not really been watching for him.  Other bad news is “Elvis” our oldest little wiener dog died Sunday afternoon.  It was a bitter sweet day already that then just became sadder.  It was the last day all the kids, with the grandkids would be with us together on the old Permafrost Ranch.  Old Elvis decided he couldn’t take it anymore I guess and passed away.  It really made the day and goodbyes so much harder.  I’m still kind of depressed from it.  Needless to say, I can’t take the time to really reflect upon these changes they are happening so fast as we still are trying to get everything ready for our departure.  I’ll keep you all updated as the time presents itself.

This is to all of you, who have watched, donated and loved my little red squirrels.  All these years here on the Permafrost Ranch and the Great Alaskan Squirrel Cam is drawing to close.  I want to thank you all, each of you have contributed to my life in so many ways.  I can’t describe the emotions and feelings that run through my mind when we found out today that the ranch had sold.  We will sign the paper work tomorrow.  Soon the streaming will stop but the web page will continue on until we are outside in the lower 48.  I’ll try to get it back up and running as soon as I can manage to do it.  Thanks for all your prayers, support and advice.  I will miss my little buddies on the feeder, and specially this one.  Bubba has been the star of the show.  I will miss him more than i can say.

He still is the star and swings by the feeder when those pesky little girls are not hogging it.

Look who showed up on the feeder today.  I just happened to catch him as he was leaving.  I hadn’t seen the old guy in a while so it was good to see him show up.  I miss him being the star of the show.

Bubba was on the feeder today, he was hungry and you should have seen him sneaking up to it.  He was looking for those little girls.  Making sure they were not around so he could grab a bite to eat in peace.

Bubba was on the feeder at 2 AM in the morning.  I guess trying to keep from having to deal with the Mrs Ruby.  He had no sooner ate and left, when here comes Ruby just raising a ruckus.  Nonetheless he’s looking very healthy and I’m sure glad to see the old boy.
