About two weeks ago the boys (the fab four: Samuel, Cameron, Gabe, and Shayd) found a baby squirrel at Grandma Beth's house. Some how little Steve got placed in our care at the Todd Pod Pad. Well, I must admit to being a touch annoyed at the thought of another animal. I immediately thought of all the problems: Who's going to take care of it? What if it is carrying parasites or disease? What if it bites? Who is going to clean it? Where will we keep it? What if it dies and breaks their hearts? As a sharing individual, I immediately made my questions known to all in the house.
Samuel, the responsible and kindhearted young man, assured me that he would take care of Steve. I had my doubts. They have since been put to rest. Steve is fed by "Poppa Squirrel" (aka Samuel) every three hours. He researched what to feed him, he looked up facts about him, he emailed a squirrel rescue (with no reply). He has been caring for Steve for more than two weeks now and I am seeing the positive side of the situation instead of the negative.
Samuel has shown himself to be consistent, caring, compassionate, and responsible. I am not precisely sure about what we will do with Steve when he is full grown. I hope we can place him in the trees and he can live a full natural life. I am concerned that he may be too friendly already. Time will yield the best solution as it reveals all things when it is ready. Here is a video of Sam feeding Steve. His eyes opened a few days ago and I am secretly falling in love with the little rodent. He is cute.
