First of all. Biggest has been changing shape all over the place and she walked in last week looking a little deformed. I felt a little freaked out and wasn't sure what to say but then she pulled these out of her bra.
Baby Squirrels. A lady brought them to her because their nest fell out of the tree. She tried to put it back up but after 24 hours their Mama was a no show so now Biggest is their Mama. She carries them around in her bra to keep them warm.
At least she's getting some extra practice on feeding something every two hours : )
Usually Littlest is not the one I have this problem with BUT, even though I distinctly remember uttering the words, "NO-put it out deep in the woods and it will be fine", I walked out on the porch and found an old Hamster cage with this on top.
Hi My name is Herbert. My front legs aren't working too well right now. But I'm just a baby.
I am not vermin. Please don't hurt me. If I'm feeling better tomorrow I'll leave.
This Is NOT a baby Squirrel
It IS a Baby Wood RAT!
It had a sprained ankle apparently.
It is Not Staying
anymore after today. Four days is plenty of time and he's getting around just fine.
Last of all, this is the great Birthday week marathon and I wish a Happy Birthday to Decent Guy, my brother; Anonymous Brother N, My sister; The Mighty Ms. K, my Dad in Heaven and most of all,
My Middlest is turning 20.
My Dreamer.
My Child of Faith and Creativity
My Free Spirit
My Moonlight.
You don't need a Full Moon to Glow.
The Light Is Always Around You.
I am very proud of you sweetheart.
No matter how winding your journey and wherever it finally ends, I'm with you all the way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Love You : )
As for the meaningful posts I originally took time off over a month ago to dream up? Yeah. Still not happening, so anyway....
Now, I have to rest because I'm supposed to work next week but before I head back to my heating pad I'm going to attempt to sit here a little longer and visit a few blogs. But I admit I've finally given in and taken some drugs so if I visit you God knows what I will say to you ; )

Happy Birthday, Middlest! (and the others)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the squirrels and (hopefully) goodbye and good riddance to the rat, regardless of how cute it is. That's one of those things you can only hope doesn't come back for frequent visits.
It's still here.....
DeleteHave you been doing somersaults? I love the squirrels and the baby wood rat but can appreciate that some need to move on sooner, rather than later.
ReplyDeleteHope you're up and bounding around soon :-)
Even more exciting. I was looking behind me, reversing my car out of a parking spot, and when I turned forward again all hell broke loose.
DeleteYou have more than your share of the furry woodland creatures at the moment. Good luck with that, your back and going back to work. And, Happy Birthday to all!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know those critters, long as they stay outta the pool ; )
DeleteI would be on the floor. Who sat the rat at your doorstep?
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough the cats didn't seem involved, he had no flesh wounds-not to mention he's alive, his legs were injured.
DeleteI think he fell out of a tree or off the roof and literally landed at the doorstep! They're doing some construction nearby and the critters are all in an uproar.
WTF?
ReplyDeleteOh..and by the way...

Someone from the land down under has their head up their down under.
ReplyDeleteI know. Honestly, Who can It Be Now?
ReplyDeleteONE MORE THING: I'm putting this on both posts involved.
ReplyDeleteDEAR TROLL. Though you have not deigned to return yet and enjoy the wreckage you left in your wake, just in case you do...
You desecrated my daughters Birthday Message. That would be the daughter in the photo, painting the YOUTH HALL Sign for HER CHURCH.
Whooo's the one who will burn hell? Hhmmm?
In all seriousness that got me thinking. I am a Christian and I know better. I'm not being a good steward. You obviously had some rage in you that you decided to unload on me. That's ok. I just finished raising 3 teenagers. I'm used to it. I have a little stress on me right now too. You gave me a chance to vent a little of it. I guess we can call it even. But even more importantly:
I FORGIVE YOU. And if you feel I have transgressed in some way, I hope you can forgive me too. It's a win-win and maybe neither of us will burn in Hell ; )
so sad that I missed this post. the babies are cute. my cousin had found a couple that went through the same issue and they hand raised them for the last six to eight months and then released them into their trees. the cute little things still come back and try to get in the house to sleep. too cute. happy birthday to all of those awesome peoples.
ReplyDeleteand boo to the troll! sheesh.
