A baby squirrel.

We found a baby squirrel. It is so cute. We set up a bird cage for it and after a few different attempts, we finally figured out what the squirrel, Squirrelly by name, liked to eat.Noah took a real liking to it. Here he is reading "Are you my mother?" to "Squirrelly", Noah also named her(I think it is a her?) He changed the word 'bird' to squirrel when he was reading it to her.
Here (below)is Holly holding it. She was a little afraid at first but then the gloves came off. No, squirrels DO NOT carry rabies! That is what I thought, but thanks to the wonderful internet we were able to researched them out. I love the internet. It is like having your own private library in your own home! If we could just get rid of the GARBAGE on the web!!!!!!! Well, back to Squirrelly!
Unfortunately, our sweet little squirrelly died after only three fun days. So sad. Poor Noah cried pretty hard. I was pretty sad too. I finally find an animal I like and it dies! It was a slow painful death too, it was so hard to watch. I tired to help her along by putting her in a bag and putting the bag on the exhaust pipe of the car but she still didn't die. It was horrible! But finally God took her.

Ok, I'm trying really hard to feel your pain, however, it's somewhat difficult to stop laughing after reading the part about your attempt to gas the squirrel. Sorry. It just sounded too funny. May he rest in peace.
