Earle: what the heck is he?

Ok, maybe I'm late here (since your post was an "update", and I assume you found him as an orphan and raised him up). What kind of a squirrel is he?

Anyway, pretty cool. When I was a kid in Nevada, a squirrel showed up at our house (where there are no tree-type squirrels). Lived in the rafters, and I'd wake up in the morning to hear him running laps around the circumference of the soffits of the roof.

Long story short, he was already tame, we lured him into the garage with peanuts, he'd eat from our hand, and Dad made a huge cage for him before winter set in.

Springtime came around, and we saw an ad in the paper from someone from California who'd lost their pet squirrel the summer before! (Talk about hope and faith!)

They came out to the house, and called him by name, and he leaped to them, so we had to give him up.

Again, pretty cool, and what the heck kinda squirrrel is Earle?
