Our squirrel ward managed some alone time in the wilderness as he escaped from his outdoor playpen. He’d been outside 4-5 hours and I’d checked periodically to see if he was OK. I hadn’t seen him moving around the last hour or so and I figured he was asleep. When I opened it up he came dashing out of the bushes about a dozen feet away and climbed up my arm. He’s now confined to his nighttime plastic box and he’s quite hungry. Grapes and lettuce are working along with harder rodent blocks and some other hard stuff. Not much interested in a bottle anymore. Hope he goes to sleep.
We are trying, but we’ve reached that decision point. Another week and he’s, according to the experts, large enough to release with some chance of survival. We’ve both become attached to him, much like all our stray cats, but we can’t keep him. Do we release him here in our yard or relocate him? He’d probably have a better chance of survival in this area -- he knows it somewhat -- but we can’t have him in and out once he goes…and that will be hard.
Blessings and peace on the families and friends of those who did fight and die on our behalf.
A reflective Memorial Day, Gerbil Nation.
Good morning, Sven.
Prayers that our country’s leadership will not needlessly sacrifice more young men and women.
We finally finished adding the pavers to the backyard.
Damn, that looks good, Paddy. Really good.
Thanks, Sven!

You and Mrs. Sven are doing a good job with your rescue squirrel.
