So today, I may have saved a squirrel! 🐿 I ran outside quick to go check the mail when I noticed this little critter was standing in the middle of the road, curled up in a ball, shaking like mad. I approached it carefully, poked it with a box and it didn’t move much. 1/6
I covered my hands with my sweater (poor choice because fleas) and actually managed to pick it up. It quickly jumped out my hands and scurried underneath a car and after a bit of coaxing I got it out. I took it over to our backyard and set it down on the ground, still 2/6
shaking. So I quick ran inside, grabbed some bread (also broke open an acorn 😅) and brought that back out to try and feed it. Sadly, it wouldn’t eat. So I looked online and it appears squirrels get like this when they haven’t eaten in a while, but I couldn’t let it die. 3/6
So I picked it up, put it in my lap and tried to “manually” feed it. It didn’t care for the food, but it did like the warmth of my hand! I could tell it was pretty cold too. Eventually it actually started eating, but would only eat if I had my hand around it 😂 4/6
So now here we are, I’ve built a little fort for it around the back on our porch, gave it a plate of food, some water and it’s snoozing away! â˜ș
Life is precious, help others when you can, and maybe you’ll even make a new friend along the way 🐿 5/6
p.s. I’m naming him Conker 😝 6/6
