Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
My ex-husband brought home a baby squirrel for me to raise (several times, actually), it bit my thumb to the bone. Shortly thereafter it died, foaming at the mouth. After the tests it turned out that it had distemper. No shots for me. I was so glad. We raised other squirrels for release. My ex was a tree surgeon. We had raccoons as well. The last one I got at a party the spring before my cancer diagnosis. Someone was feeding him poorly (wrong formula) and he latched on to me and I had him for several months until he was old enough to release. He was something. I called him my technocoon because he wanted everything electronic. He shucked the keys off of my laptop like it was an ear of corn. For months after we released him I had dreams of him visiting. I guess I am a little weird, huh?
