Last weekend, Patton came running to the door with a baby squirrel in his hands. He said that it was hanging out under the trampoline, so he put his hands out. Amazingly, the squirrel ran straight into his hands.
After about 20 minutes, another one came and joined us!
We got them some water in a bowl and feed them some milk through a medicine dropper.
We named the first squirrel Nike and the second one Under Armor!
Nike sat in Patton's lap and ate some bread.
Patton went inside to get his Animal Encyclopedia to read about squirrels. While he was reading, Nike jumped right up there with him! PRECIOUS!!
We could not believe this! They were not scared of us at all. We tried to get them to go back to their mommy, but they would follow us everywhere. Finally, we just had to say good-bye and go inside. It was sad not only for the boys, but for Nike and Under Armor, too!
