Owners spend $10,000 on pampered pet squirrel Thumbelina

Christina Reyes, 35, from Mahopac, New York, rescued two baby squirrels abandoned by their mother with the help of her husband, Michael. One of the baby squirrels died but the other, Thumbelina, survived. The pampered squirrel became the couple's pet who they nursed to health. Thumbelina, named because of her small size, is an attention-seeker and loves to watch TV with her owners and nibble on avocados. 'I love Thumbelina so much,' Christina said. 'My husband and I knew that we never wanted children. Thumbelina is our baby.'
