Baby Squirrels

Can you stand it? I just want to hold them all day... but can't because my own kids are jealous. 

The roofers are here today replacing our garage roof. They found two baby squirrels in the roof... I have a soft spot for baby squirrels. I had a baby squirrel that I found in our chimney when I was a kid. I named her Badger... and I fed her for a week before taking her to a rehab center. Squirrels are amazing when they are babies but once they become teenagers, they become savage little beasts.

I would love to keep these two young ones... but I'm afraid that I will become too attached to them. I would like to reunite them with their mother tonight , but I'm afraid that it will be too long in the process. Maybe during the guys lunch break I can put them back for momma to take them. I already called the rehab center and they didn't answer, so I left a message. I know I would be very upset if I were the mother of these two cuties... she's probably beside herself watching these savage humans rip apart her house.

Just got a call from the refuge center, looks like I'm going to be making a trip over there to drop these babies off. I'm so sad. They said because of the noise the mother will most likely not return.

Oh my look at those little hands! 

Sniff my butt!
