. . . we found ourselves a smaller, furrier kind of baby. This is Rocky the squirrel, who kind of looks more like a rat right now. Why do we have a baby squirrel? Well, my Paw Paw saved Rocky from his cat and then called my mom, because she's been known to take in homeless babies (in case you haven't noticed).
He loves to eat. After much googling, we discovered we needed to syringe-feed him puppy formula (after we re-hydrated him with Pedialyte, that is). He's not really interested in solids yet. We're guessing (again, after much googling) that he's about six weeks old.
He spends most of his time sleeping, snuggled up under a t-shirt in his box.
Jamal thinks he has a new pet. Mom thinks she's going to release him into the wild when he's about 12 weeks old. Whatever happens, I'll keep you posted.

If you really need a baby to take care of, I'll send Chase over and you don't even have to google anything about him!
That is just about the cutest thing! Your Mom is awesome~ I would have been calling around trying to find a "Squirrel Rescue" or something! Who knew squirrels could be all cuddly and cute!?
