It's a....Squirrel?

So the story goes something like this:

Max drug me out back to look at the garden. While we were inspecting the green tomatoes, Kalee followed her ear piercing scream with "Look what Lil Ann found". Lil Anne is our miniature pincher who I guess hunts. ;) We figured the baby squirrel fell from it's nest not long before our dog found it. After inspecting it for a few minutes and saw she didn't hurt it, we wrapped it in a towel and put the lil guy in a brown paper bag. A couple more minutes of Googling and making a phone call we found a licenced mammal rehaber to take it to. So yes, we get in the car and truck along to attempt to save this little guy.

The rehaber said he was no more then about 3 weeks old and the only time they leave the nest is if they are looking for something to eat because Mom's not around. We got the opportunity to explain to the kiddos that this lady went to school to learn how to care for these kind of mammals. She was going to get him better and release him back into the wild where he belonged.

The entire way home Bear cried "I really miss that lil guy Mommy"...like those few minutes in the video was Bear/Squirrel bonding time or something.
