Some of you readers (all 5 of you) may remember a post last summer about a squirrel I saw giving birth. Well, I had to include an update about what I heard on the radio today.
Apparently, 3 baby squirrels were found who had been abandoned, or had fallen out of the nest or something, and someone had the brilliant idea - get this - to give the squirrels to a Poodle named Pixie to nurse back to health! She had just had her own puppies, and was still nursing them, so they just did a bait and switch on the poodle. And I guess they got raised by this dog for like a month and now they're ready to be released back into the wild.
WHA?!?!?!
Is that not the craziest thing you've ever heard? I had so many questions: first of all - what about those sharp squirrel teeth? ouch! Maybe they don't grow in for a while. Second - who the hell came up with this idea? Third - is this going to totally mess with the squirrels sense of what's what in the wild? Or mess with Pixie's?
It's certainly messing with mine.
