Good for you Willow.

I recently pulled a flying squirrel out of a tight spot. He was just too cute.

I didn't get a picture of him as I was 15 feet up on a ladder but he looked just like this

Please tell me where to send the medal! You're a hero... At least in the eyes of the rat.

Bones - birdies have feathers on their tails. Rats have long skinny tails with no feathers!!!
Easy concept!

That was very compassionate of you.

I believe that I have a family of chipmunks living in my walls and ceiling. I'm trying to capture them in a cage-trap, but they are wily.

When I capture them, I will upload some pictures.

Look's a bit like a shrew - poor guy, all soggy

We had flying squirrels co-habitating with us over the winter...they are so darn cute!

well, TK is damn good swimmer! He couldn't have held out much longer though!

I don't think chipmunks live in walls and ceilings?

That commercial is unbelievably hilarious, I watched it with my daughter we laughed all the way through.

And that rat...ew...rats actually like the water, you know....

Are we sure it's not a muskrat? I don't think a muskrat would look so...wet...but I've never gotten up close and personal. Looks weird for a rat.

 

[AllieBaba]

Or maybe a possum?

He was swimming in the pool,, no way out, he would eventually tire and drown. so we fished him out, rinsed him off in the bucket, gave him a few minutes to catch his breath and then turned him loose..not a muskrat,, compare the two,, my rat had very large rat ears, and a pointed rat snout.. not to mention buggy little rat eyes.

 

[AllieBaba]

Except..it just looks so weird.

Check out this possum's nose. Cracks me up.

not a possum, I've caught a possum, my jack russell terrorist treed a baby possum so I captured him and took him over to animal rescue and they turned him loose. He's hanging in the crepe myrtle just off my deck.
