Okay... Here at the ranch.... it is definitely spring and the animals are popping out everywhere. The other day, Aidan found this little guy. He had fallen into the window well. Aidan rescued him.
He's not much bigger than a quarter. He was so small we didn't feel right about putting him back out into the big bad world. The kids looked at me with big blue tear filled eyes. It was awful. But... we've already rescued one turtle and I can't keep every rescued animal we find. So... facebook to the rescue. I posted a photo and asked if anyone was willing to give him a home. Thankfully, Kelly and her son, Jer were happy to have him. They named him Kappa and he's got a lovely home.... off the ranch.
But... that wasn't the end of our animal adventures. Next, we found a nest of baby birds. We've been keeping an eye on them but with strict instructions to leave them alone.... So much for that. One little guy fell out of the nest and needed rescuing. I didn't take photos because a) it happened pretty fast and b) baby birds are not cute in any way. It's eyes were closed and it had no feathers at all. Okay. I'll say it. They're really gross looking.
Thankfully, Andy was brave enough to scoop it up with some postcards we got in the mail and pop him back in his nest. Yet another animal crisis averted. If only it were that easy to fix my own problems so easily.
