Home, Home on the Range



...where the squirrel and the chickens play.

Oh wait, those aren't the right words, but in our house that's all that sounds right these days. Wondering what I'm talking about...we purchased our new chicks last weekend. We now have six babies. Wondering where the squirrel comes into play??? Our neighbor thinks we are fit to raise a baby squirrel found across the street under another neighbor's porch. They all have dogs and since we don't raise "normal" animals, we've now adopted this baby squirrel who is living in our basement in a CAT carrier!!! She's pretty cute and Baby Girl loves her. She and Daddy are feeding her granola bars and peanut butter. She literally (we believe she is a "she") crawled into our neighbors hands and when he tried to release her she stood next to his leg!

Oh! They're getting so big. Not your kids...your chickens! :) Ha. Oh, I love the squirrel. I'll have to ask the girls about a good name for her, if you haven't named her already.
