As many of you know, animal drama seems to always find me! Picking up dogs running loose and returning them to their owners, watching over baby owls (Owlets) until their mom can retrieve them from our yard, and resuscitating baby rabbits after nearly drowning in our pool.
This afternoon I was hanging out in our front room (aka-Hubs home office, formerly known as the formal dining room) with John, chatting it up when I looked out the window and saw this! A squirrel wedged in our tree! He was only 3 feet from the ground and it seemed weird that he wasn't moving.
Of course I panic, run to the bedroom to look out the window right by him and he looked dead. How did he get there? How did he die? Did he fall from higher up in the tree? Is somthing going to come by and finish him off?! I get crazy brain in a panic.
Squirrel wedged in our tree
So I grab my camera and head out the front door to check him out up close. And to retrieve and bag him for funeral services in our backyard. I mean, if we're going to do it for the rabbits, we might as well have a family section for the squirrels.
As I get close to take a picture....his little head pops up!
Hey!
And then he gives me the stink eye for waking him up from his nap!
Woman! Get that camera out of my face!
Here I was all freaked out and he was NAPPING! Not my fault you nap like the dead.
Credit to the Hubs...he just sighed during all the crazy and waited for the update when it was all over. Hes used to it.
