Rocky / Rodney

Issues... issues... so, as of about 7:00 tonight we have a temporary new member of the family... a baby squirrel. The neighbor's cat injured a baby squirrel - to the point that he was incapacitated. The neighbors thought he was dead and left it out to die. Once my kids saw that it started moving, every so slightly, it became a "rescue". Now, I have never lost a rescued animal, and I will not start now. Ok, so my rescues were kittens, but how far apart is the stretch---kitten - squirrel... not so far right??? So, the baby squirrel is now resting comfortably in the house and my son wants to call it Rodney, but my daughter wants to call it Rocky. We'll see what happens. I'll worry about names once it springs back to live. I just checked it and it looks much better than it did before. It is definitely a baby... it had a cut over the eye and I cleaned that up. The shock is wearing off and he/she is becoming much more alert. We are hoping for the best and we will see what happens in the morning. Cross your fingers.... Let's hope he is better tomorrow; except then I have to deal with "do we keep him or not". Goodness!!
