Sorry this is soooo late! Life’s been nuts the past 24-hours. Last night we had a hellish thunderstorm and my daughter, her husband and the little ones wound up sleeping all over my bedroom. Today, I had the housekeeper underfoot (I live in rural Arkansa—it’s not that expensive and so worth it!) and my daughter going nuts because she found baby squirrels that had fallen out of a tree. I took pics and will share—but only if they survive. It’s too sad otherwise.
In the meantime, I promised the grab bag winner would be announced today, but I’m too tired to tally up all the comments to enter into the random number generator, so you have two more chances to enter! I posted blogs at the following two places. Go comment!

My ex-cousin-in-law had baby squirrels once. Her husband worked for a tree company and they were abandon by their mother. She called a special vet and hey kept the babies (two) in an old stand up bird cage. She bottle feed them and kept them wrapped up in baby blankets. After a couple of months they released them in their own backyard. Last I heard they weere still in the area and would come to the rails and windows sometimes. They were cute, hope everything works out.

I hope your baby squirrels make it. I once had a baby raccoon because her mother was killed. I raised her on a baby bottle and when she was grown, I found a good home for her, where she had some freedom of the outdoors but was safe.

Poor squirrels… There was a thunderstorm in our city and a huge tree fell on a house. Poor family… anyway. But I really prefer cold days that hot ones. Although the thunder and lightnings are really scary, the chill of the weather and the nature’s fierce beauty is something I find romantic, actually. š
