I’m very sorry to Carol for the loss of Lil C Ma today.
I tried. I wish I could have saved her. My heart hurts for you and her.

This.

If I could tell you one thing about the animals people call pests…

I’d tell you how a baby squirrel wraps his tiny fingers around mine, holding on like I’m the only safe thing left in the world.
I’d tell you how an opossum crunches her food so loud and so silly it makes me laugh out loud when I’m having the worst day.
I’d tell you how a raccoon buries his face into his blanket when he’s scared, the same way a kid hides behind their mom’s legs.

And I’d tell you how they beg.
How a bunny will nudge at my leg with her nose like a puppy, asking for just one more grape. How her eyes light up when I hand her a treat and in that moment, it’s impossible to understand how anyone could ever see her as a “pest.”

I’ve seen them grieve.
I’ve heard too many orphans cry for a mom who’s never coming back.
I’ve watched siblings cling to each other when the world feels too loud, too big, too cruel.

And I’ve seen how they love.
Curling up together in a pile, finding comfort in each other’s breathing.
Learning my voice and trusting my hands, even when it was humans who hurt them in the first place.

This is what I see every single day as a wildlife rehabber.
Not nuisances. Not disposable lives.
I see souls. I see beings who want safety, joy, family the same things we all want.

And I wish you could see them the way I do.
Because if you did, you’d never look at an opossum or a squirrel or a rabbit the same way again.
You’d see what they really are: living, feeling beings who deserve compassion and a chance to grow old in the wild.

Let’s do a throw back to Dani getting a very special gift for Valentin’s Day! Now there are several hundred marbles in various hiding places, in my house.

Even though I am mainly a squirrel and rabbit rehabber, my two non releasable coonie babies, are given every opportunity to just be raccoons. To play in the dirt, and water, and climb and lounge. To get dirty, dig for bugs, run and play.
Their mental health is equally as important as all the other animals here. They deserve to be as ‘free’ as they possibly can. They are wild animals and always will be.
Dani, I believe, is loosing some of her vision again. (She was completely blind when she came in, and was so for several months). She is struggling especially with darkness. She can get up on the climbing wall, slowly, and carefully, but can’t get down without help. And, she gets frustrated and upset. I would too. I’ve been where she is. My world was going dark. I was loosing my vision from intracranial hypertension. Thankfully, my vision was saved with a shunt being placed in my head to drain fluid. I did loose some peripheral and I have some permanet darker spots. It was scary.
Dani, doesn’t have many options. She has me though; and I understand. I know what she is feeling.
Franki, is slowly making progress with Charli, my bloodhound. Charli is completely non reactive and lets Franki throw her fit, then just tries again to win her over. Rebel….well, we’re all working on being more tolerant….heelers can be difficult dogs.
Franki is enjoying her Purina Kidney Function Food and is eating veggie/fruit Cheerios. I’ll take that. At least the Cheerios slip in some spinach and added good.

Franki’s first special treat of strawberry popping pearls! Dani immediately knew what I had, and was very happy to get them! This is a very rare treat and they don’t get them very often. Paco’s Boba

Little, Mack, says hello adoring fans! 🧡🧡
This wee one was stung over and over by wasps, had internal bleeding, horrible damage to several of his tony toes, and pneumonia!
He’s about 1/3 the size he should be, but I think he’s pretty perfect 😍
Mack is a fighter, through and through! He came from Casper several weeks ago, and is eating very well and loves having littermates to snuggle with!
He’s also biding for employee of the month !

It is very apparent that I, the human, do NOT speak Red Squirrel, YET! Gimme a couple days, and I’ll have his sounds figured out. Sometimes, I am not the quickest study.
However, Sally, the Gray Little, absolutely does 🩷🩷 Sally understands everything that Red Little, Squeaks says.
Babies just want warmth and comfort. Food and love. They don’t care who they snuggle with, they just need snuggles. 🧡🧡
