The Easting Reach

We were walking around the block today when this little fella hobbled out of the bushes, climbed onto my shoe and just sat there shaking! I picked him up, much to Mrs Brind's displeasure - "don't bring it anywhere near me, it's a rodent!!" - and stroked him for a bit.

I'm not applying any pressure to him in the picture, just cupping him to keep him warm and eventually I put him back in a tree. I don't know - it looked like a baby that had fallen? He had a bloody nose I hope poor Boo survives. I know that if either of my daughters was still at home we would have had a fire, ambulance and police and an emergency vet in a helicopter on the way within minutes.

It's not a bunny Kilaana, but I hope this easter squirrel makes you happy instead

Very best wishes to all of you!

Oh he is very adorable and that does look like a bloody nose. I'm sure he was much grateful for your palm-hug, Brind.

Actually...this tale reminds me somewhat of a more creepy one on another server, involving a pool swim and a lovely tree, that had a dead squirrel falling from it...but I won't go into that

Very nice Brind. Here some 10 second hommage

Thanks Kilaana, sorry to read about your server woes btw :-/ It's good to hear from you too Kerst - never can get enough Boo right?

Actually, many small rodents have red fluids from their nose and eyes like that - unlike us - so it was probably fine. We see it with our own pets daily and have for years.
