So we have been very popular with wildlife over the past several days. First, the random turtle in our driveway earlier this week.
Then, on Friday afternoon, I hear Bella squeaking on something -- or should I say "causing something to squeak" beside the deck. Either way, I got there in time to make her drop what I thought was a baby chipmunk from her mouth (unharmed). Once Ben got home, we coherced the little rascal into a lushly decorated diaper box and hoped he would eat some of the sunflower seeds we'd given him. We freed him to "go find his Mommy" before bedtime that night then googled baby chipmunks only to discover that it had been a baby rabbit rather than a chipmunk.
Then, to cap off our wildlife spree, we found a mouse (NOT rat) in the garage. Ben had been suspecting we had a little friend in there earlier this week and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that he had walked up the wagon handle and dropped into an empty bucket at some point over the weekend. What are the chances??
Who needs summer camp when we have such random visitors right in our own backyard?
