Tuesday

not a naked mole rat

This is a baby squirrel that my sister Betsy found in their yard Saturday. Her elderly Golden Retriver had gently carried the baby over near the porch and was standing guard over it to keep the cat away until Betsy rescued it.

They called UT Vet Hospital, which directed them to a local "squirrel lady," who fosters orphan baby animals. When they got to her house, she first stuck the baby squirrel inside her bra to warm it up, and then she put it in a nest in a box with a bunch of other baby squirrels she's raising.

She also had some baby possums (Eddie and Betty) and even a baby hummingbird
