Our trip to the playground took an unexpected turn today when this baby squirrel found us. He kept following me around and looked very scared, so we sat down to talk to him.
He liked Mom's shoe, and decided that it could make a good nest. He curled up on her foot and went to sleep! Then, when Mom tried to walk away, he just clung to her sock like she was his new Mommy.
That was enough to convince us to find him a new home since we couldn't find his Mommy. We found a vet that does wildlife rescue, and told Mag and Mox that NO, he was NOT their new toy.
Dad said that baby squirrel was destined to be owl or possum food in the park tonight... but we knew that a Mama Cat was waiting to adopt him with her little kittens.
Maybe one day when he grows up he'll come live in our attic and chew more holes in the AC duct work. He was soooo cute! I'm proud of helping the little guy.
