As Borjana started making more chipmunk friends, she noticed that Charlie became jealous and mad at her.
He stopped eating Borjana’s treats, and he wasn’t running up to her for attention anymore.
It turns out that chipmunks are quite territorial, and Charlie didn’t want to share Borjana’s attention with anyone else!
Winning Charlie back over.
Borjana was determined to keep her friendship with Charlie strong and had to find a way to win him back and help him overcome his jealousy.
She made sure to spend extra time with Charlie and stayed persistent until he took her treats to show him that he was still her special friend.

Through their time spent together, Borjana began to believe that Charlie could understand commands like “freeze” and “go.”
When he would run up to her hand with treats, she would say “freeze,” and he wouldn’t move an inch until she said “go” and then we would fill up with cheeks with all her treats.
An evolved relationship.

“He would sometimes sit next to me, just enjoy the nature , enjoy my company. He would not even take peanuts. It’s moments like those that are so touching to me. I don’t think I can explain it further, just how much that moment really means to me, and I’m sure to him as well.” – Borjana Anicin
