Chipmunks Are Lovable and Trainable

This is a true story as I lived it when I found an infant baby chipmunk on a cool morning early in September 1989 at the Iron Springs Camp in Prescott Arizona. I have no idea of what happened to his mother, she was gone and he was an orphan so I adopted him. We nurtured him and saved his life but when the camp closed for the Winter on October 1st he was unable to take care of himself so we took him home to our town house in Scottsdale for the winter. Raising him was both a pleasure and a chore and this story tells all about the many humorous incidences of his growing up. Included are pictures of him and the special training to wear a hand crafted Santa Claus suit while he went around the table after our Christmas dinner taking nuts from everyone. We finally released him back into his natural environment in the Spring when he was full grown.
