My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our
children.It's amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine,our
oldest daughter,Kaytlin,called me to the doorway.Beneath the
steps was a baby red squirrel/'skwrral/.
We watched it from a distance,not wanting to disturb it or scare
off its mother.But after a long wait -and looking all round our
house for signs of a nest or a mother-we realized the tiny
squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly,he was weak,thin,and hungry.We tried to find
an expert to help,but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website
showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area.After some
quick research,we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a
fighting chance was to care for him ourselves.So a trip to the local
store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him,how to estimate
his age,how and when to wean()him,and that we should let
him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding "Squirt."Kaytlin took
on the most responsibility.She taught him to eat from a bottle,and
she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief,Squirt soon became healthy and strong.Within a
few weeks he became more active.He would chatter(吱吱叫)for his
next meal,playfully go around the girls,and lie down on them for
sleep.It wasn't long before he was weaned onto solid food and
reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny.Just like a
child,he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin
for safety.Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest
material
P1.One day in the trees,Squirt met up with a family of gray
squirrels.
P2.One night,Squirt didn't come back to our house and it rained
hard.
