Wildlife abounds

Here in the house of Happy we have had a few adventures as of late....  The skunk from almost 2 weeks ago has still been smelling up my house.  We have only gotten 2 eggs a day since the horrible bear attack on Sunday, and I really think the chickens are still freaked out.  

We haven't had any signs of the bear for the last few days and the wildlife biologist has not returned my call either, which really ticks me off!

Today while I was strolling through Walmart trying to skim over all the new stuff the phone rings, its HD who says where are you?  Walmart.  Good buy some formula.  What for.  A baby.  A baby what!  A baby flying squirrel.

Apparently HD forgot that we have a squirrel dog trained to kill squirrels, hello!  He was working on a phone line some 30 feet up in the air and in the transformer box a mother flying squirrel had made a home for herself and her babies.  HD is bringing them home for me to bottle feed until they are big enough to be let go.  Isn't that a welcomed thought your husband working on a phone line 30 feet up and then carrying little squirrels down the ladder, not so much!

I guess it will be a good home school experience for the kids.  Here is a picture of a flying squirrel if you haven't ever seen any before, they are also called sugar gliders in the pet stores.

The are cute, cuter than a bear and much nicer smelling than a skunk!
