My great great aunt Martha with her pet squirrel. Born in 1900, photo taken around 1920.

      She looks like a real-life Disney princess. People forget how common pet squirrels were a century ago.

      Fun fact. Squirrels were the 3rd most popular pet in the 1800s.

      Looks like Ellie Mae Clampett with one of her critters, yonder out by the cement pond.

      Having a pet squirrel in the 1920s is exactly the kind of chaotic energy I want to bring to 2026.

      So great! She’s wearing turn of the century clothes in 1920? I guess we do that today with vintage, but I never thought of someone doing that in the 1920s.
