Meet Charlie

Charlie is the latest member of our animal menagerie.

Charlie is a 5 week-ish orphaned squirrel. A friend found him in her yard Friday night. I took him home and have been syringe feeding him formula ever since. Saturday she found a second baby. Brendan named him Brownie. Brownie was smaller and didn't have his eyes open. Despite our best efforts, he didn't make it. Charlie is spry and doing well though. Hopefully by next week we can add other foods to his diet and work towards releasing him. In the meantime, he lives safely in a cage where wild animals, and our dogs, can't hurt him.

Ok, I'm done with animal posts now.
