attilatehbunSo I'm in the middle of a loooooong day of red sauce making/canning, and the end is in sight. THE END IS IN SIGHT.
And I go outside to have a smoke and do a crossword puzzle with the SO. Outside? One of our neighbor/friends, with his cutie dog, so we start chatting. We look down, we look up, and he's swearing because.
(apparently this always happens to him?)
The baby squirrel must have fallen out of the tree. There's a minor worry about poison, but not too much. LUCKILY. BB squirrel is alive and can't be more than a few days old because its eyes aren't even open
OBVIOUSLY we freak out because omg baby squirrel so adorable aww aww aww PROTECT HIIIIIIIIIM rahr
My neighbor picks him up and I grab a box and a rag and kind of wrap him up. Another friend happens by at this exact time and is like I WILL TAKE HIM TO WILDLIFE RESCUE /SUPERHERO CAPE
Cue fumbling around for phone numbers/addresses/etc.
MEANWHILE THE LIL BEBEH IS ALL

I call the 24 hr emergency hotline while we're figuring stuff out and the woman is just like HOLD ON GEEZ. When she comes back she's like, OKAY just put him back in the tree? Momma will find his little butt and everything will be sunshine.

And she's like, SIGH you can put the box in the tree okay?
So initial plan is scrapped and we put the box in the tree.
And then we go to walk away
And I hear a rustlerustlerustle near my feets.
who totally blends in with the mulch so we almost stepped on him ;_________;
My friend and I look at each other with a mutual FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
She goes to get another rag and I call the hotline again cause at this point, right, we're thinking that either the mother is dead or something pushed the babies out of the nest. So I call.
This time, the lady is like, YES WHAT GEEZ
And I'm all, Momma might be deeeeaad? /sad eyes? Or maybe she pushed them out?
And the lady is like, AT A CERTAIN AGE, MOTHERS WILL PUSH THE BABIES OUT
And I'm like, well okay but their eyes aren't open?
And she goes, Well then the mother didn't push them out.
And I go, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? OKAY
Clearly she was thinking IT IS A FUCKING SQUIRREL WTF YOU?
Which does not run well with my BEBEH SO CUUUUUUUTE SAVE THEEEEEEEM.

We grab the second baby and put it in the box with the first and they make the most adorable chirping noises and we run off. HOPEFULLY momma is going to come save them. Sob.if i go outside tomorrow to find a box of
I AM NOT FINISHING THAT THOUGHT OKAY HERE IS ANOTHER CUTIE PICTURE OF CAPTAIN ADORABLE. I didn't get any pics of the second baby because by that time it was dark. :(
