Hammie

This is Hammie.  A couple of months ago, my son was sitting on his patio late in the evening.  Something fell out of the sky.  He thought rabid bat and his hound thought snack.  He jumped for it at the same time Cassie, the hound, did.  He reached it first and discovered a 2 week old squirrel.  So he hit the internet to see what to do.  He kept it warm overnight and put it back out for the mother while he came to town to get formula for it just in case Mama did not return.  She didn't.  So now he has a squirrel to raise.  He's doing a good job.  His biggest problem is keeping the kids from making a pet of her because she  has to be returned to the wild. Her eyes are open and she  has fur now.  He still have to feed her every 2 hours, but she is doing great.  We are a family of suckers.
