Joelle, Cody and I found a baby squirrel that had fallen out of it's nest after a bad storm the night before. We brought it home and after looking online for advice, gave it some clear gatoraid and then called wildlife services. They told us how to make a nest for it in a shallow box and put it back in the tree where we found it so that the mother might come and find her. She was still there the next morning however so we brought her back home and called around until we found a lady here in Flower Mound that is with an organization that rescues wild baby animals and takes care of them until they can survive on thier own. Something got lost in translation because the boys kept asking when we were going to get our squirrel back. She sure was a sweet little thing. We were glad we could help her out and give her a chance to live a full squirrel life.

So cute, Jen! We did that once with a baby bird. What an awesome lesson to teach your kids.
