Visiting Roy and Deb and Their Critters
Sunday Evening, December 9
Since we would be going right by Roy and Deb’s road on the way home from Wendell and Betty’s house, we called to see if they were home. They have a new “baby” that we had not yet seen.
This is Presley – a raccoon that was near death when they got her. No one – epecially the vet – expected her to live. She weighed one-and-a-half pounds at that time. Now look at her. She weighs almost ten pounds.
She will be released in spring when she’s old enough to be outside and on her own.
Keebler the skunk is in partial hibernation (sleeping approximately 18 hours a day).
He has been neutered and descented and is a household pet.
These two love to play and scrap – like brothers and sisters.
Look at the size of him! I keep telling him that he needs to go on an exercise program.
He takes offense at that.
This is Jimmy DooLittle – their new baby flying squirrel. Someone else rescued him and several of his siblings and could not keep them all. He is six weeks old and weighs 1.1 ounce.
I like how he holds unto the tip of the feeding syringe when Deb feeds him.
He is surely a cute little guy.
As you can see by the rear view mirror, it was still raining when we headed home.
We live about an hour away from their place.
It was a delightful Sunday.
