i was trimming all day yesterday and kept hearing distress calls from outside. thought it was my flock, but i kept looking and they were all fine.
then around 5:30, my wife is out on the deck while i am moving the sprinkler around and she got startled when she nearly stepped on a baby squirrel. our cats then tried to eat the thing before i pulled them off and put them all inside.
we did some research and decided that it was around 8-12 weeks and probably abandoned by momma. the thing is probably retarded too. it had no good sense to avoid cats or dogs or humans.
so i bring it an ear of corn from the garden and some peanuts. the little guy went to town on that and the distress cries stopped. before it got dark, i took a heating pad out there, picked him up, and put him on there. he scurried away though, and i did not expect to see him alive this morning.
to my great surprise, he was curled up under the heating pad, alive and alert, and looked at me with what i can only assume is the most grateful look a squirrel is capable of giving to a human.
still alive, suckas.
