I freaked out at first because I thought they were some other more horrible member of the rodent family and with that less than auspicious beginning, I refused to even look at the things(I have a horrible fear of certain rodents that must-not-be-named). Well, long story short, despite my kids sort of best care, one of them died. So, I spent several hours holding sobbing children. Then spent lots of phone time trying to track down some sort of squirrel "rescuer" to take the other one. Because it turns out it is against the law to have a squirrel. (Do ever think that maybe the lawmakers have way too much time on their hands? A topic for another day...) Anyway, the other baby squirrel went to a better home which the husband had to drive an hour to get to (and hopefully has learned his lesson about dragging stray animals into our home). And the dead one? Um, we haven't had time to bury him yet, so he is ironically enough...in the freezer.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442134460070478886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136207191598292498.post-9837372176587753132008-09-13T22:58:00.000-07:002008-09-13T22:58:00.000-07:00You can't see me right now, but I am frowning, fur...You can't see me right now, but I am frowning, furrowing my brow, and even have a little lump in my throat.

The worst pet experience we had was with a hamster. I hated that thing, but my son loved him.

One time we found a nest of baby mice, not funny and I was catching them and sneaking them to the cat. Well, one of the girls found one in the barn, injured and the drama started (I couldn't admit what I did) and they babied it a while and it died and there was a funeral. It was all quite funny-in a sick sort of wayKpetes-dragginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307160634867741587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136207191598292498.post-78212547724055845702008-09-12T10:00:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:00:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear about Horny, I am sure the kids are ...Sorry to hear about Horny, I am sure the kids are devestated.

This no doubt contributed to his demise when my husband and children grew forgetful of him (despite my reminders). That just sounds so heartless.

You sound a little nicer though. My husband has a dog that lives here. I don't have anything to do with it's care or maintenance. <BR/>currently, we have this tiny frog. Our neighbor bestowed it on us a couple of weeks ago. Yuck. Yucky tank, yucky food, yuck. I tried to dispose of it immediately. Was not allowed to. It's just sitting on the kitchen counter in a small-sort of tank-thing. I wish it would leave. Nobody even asks about it, or looks for it anyway. Do you think they would notice? Thanks for the idea, I'll put it on the top of the fridge.McFarland Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402499978967455677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136207191598292498.post-32856070959590403092008-09-12T08:23:00.000-07:002008-09-12T08:23:00.000-07:00No can do ladies.
