Current Events > I helped save a squirrel during the snowstorm

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was walking to get some last-minute supplies from the Rite Aid down the street when I saw a squirrel hunched over under a tree, protecting its face, and refusing to move. It was aggressive but I gave it a box for protection. Animal control didn't want to do anything. My sister, who rescues pit bulls, raccoons, etc, hooked me up with the local wildlife rescue teams and a squirrel rehabilitator who hauled ass over in the snow.

The little guy made it and is now in good care.

it's true I was that squirrel

The facial injuries were pretty bad and it was visually impaired by the infection. Might've been hit by a car or something.

I hope there's no long term damage. My family does squirrel rehabilitation and the little critters are so sturdy in some ways but so very fragile in others.

But did you teach the squirrel karate?

Good thing you dont live in the city, so many rodents that need rescuing there

My sister's like "You made him a coffin, I shove raccoons in the car. We are not the same. Call me first next time."

The rescuer was probably Squirrel Girl in disguise. I'll let her do that.
