This was Rocky. Our pet
squirrel. He had become part of our family. How did we acquire a pet
squirrel, you ask???? Well Noah being the animal lover he is, saved him from our dog Chance. After its mom
dropped him trying to get away from Chance. Noah saw that he had the baby and went and hit Chance with our plastic bat tell he
dropped it. Sounds terrible but honestly its like a nice back massage for our dog. It doesn't even phase him.
Then Noah ran in and asked if he could pick up the
squirrel. I am really glad that he asked because knowing him he would just pick it up. I wasn't sure what diseases he might carry so I had him use some newspaper to pick it up. Then we looked on the
Internet to see what to do and if it was
OK to handle. We found out that there were no diseases to worry about and learned that to feed it we needed to get Kitty formula. Did you know there was such thing???? I didn't
hahaha.
So after that he was the little baby of the
fam. We nursed it every 2 hours and even took him to
Silverwood Amusement Park with us in a little pocket in our back pack. I know weird. We had him for about 2 1/2 weeks and he seemed to be thriving but
unfortunately he passed away one morning and Noah was
devastated. He was really upset all day. It was sad. We had just had a lesson in sharing time at church about Jesus has power over death and Noah asked if we prayed to Jesus if he would come back alive. It broke my heart. I told him we could pray for comfort and ask for Rocky to be safe. Maybe some day we will be lucky enough to have another little Rocky. But for now it was a great little
experience for our family.
