Alicen and Jason's little Peanut






My friend Alicen called me on Saturday morning with an animal story...one that she said I would appreciate...and I really did! Her Dad had a baby squirrel come up to him at their house on Friday night. He thought, well this isn't quite right...so they waited around to if the Mama came and got him. She never did, and they were afraid someone would hurt him...so Alicen and Jason saved the day! The kept him overnight in Sassy's (their cat...who isn't too crazy about this little guy) pet taxi. They have been feeding him ground up fresh pecans. Her sister, Carrie, works at a vets office...and someone their has a pet squirrel also. So, little Peanut went to live with that sweet lady...but not after Luke and I came for a visit and took some cute pictures. Peanut reminded me of Ginger, my guinea pig. I know that sounds crazy, but they are both in the rodent family....the noises he made sounded like the ones she made too! I've never been that up close to a baby squirrel before...it was a lot of fun! Thanks Alicen and Jason for letting us look at your new baby...he will have a great life thanks to you guys!
