It took her three hours to make her delicious Thanksgiving feast for her backyard squirrels in Englewood.

Christina Ardolino is a wildlife photographer that loves animals and treated her backyard squirrels to a Thanksgiving spread.

Christina spent three hours preparing treats like mixed nuts, peanut butter, banana and walnut pancakes, peanut butter, banana and walnut quesadillas, banana slices tossed in walnut crumble and drizzled with peanut butter, a peanut butter-filled cone topped with pecan crumble, pecan pie, fruit and a layered peanut butter banana walnut cake, frosted with peanut butter, topped with pecan crumbs and garnished with pecan dust.

Ardolino loves animals and wants to make them feel special during the holidays. She believes that every living being deserves love.

Her squirrels ate better than a lot of people. I loved watching them smile and eat the grapes.
