Bubby - Backwood Beds official littlest mascot

For those of you who follow me on Instagram and on Twitter - I occasionally post pictures of a little squirrel that I have named Bubby.  Bubby is our pretend squirrel pet, shop mascot and all out party animal.  He has a mixture of my personality and that of a wild animal - which isn't too far off of my own personality.  He is nerdy, quirky and sometimes just down right weird.  Yes, not far off my own personality at all. Bubby will making an appearance now and then - displaying all his talents and glory.  Sometimes he will show his true colors and other times we usually catch him doing strange things.

 We first introduced Bubby on Valentines Day, where he was shy and had a little stage freight.  Since his debut, he is gaining more confidence and wants to display his talents (he thinks he is talented) for all to see.

We wanted to get a "real" Bubby for a pet, as I personally feel that squirrels are the cutest form of a rat that lives in a tree, but it is illegal to own a pet squirrel in California.  So we have the next best thing - a virtual pet.  That and squirrels are very entertaining.

Here is a link to a squirrel rescue here in So. Cal that does some amazing work with the little guys and gals they find or are brought in - usually they are orphans and hurt squirrels that need a little medical help to get back up in the tree again.

So follow us on Intsagram and Twitter - for the occasional Bubby funny meme, you will also get updates on projects, tips on wood and techniques, pictures of prototype beds and the daily life in a small family owned and run business.
