I posted this image yesterday (Follow Up)

We found 2 orphaned squirrels scratching outside our door trying to get in from the cold/rain. Someone said earlier they saw a hawk snatch up a big squirrel next to our building so, we're assuming that was momma.

After doing HOURS of research online for caring for orphaned squirrels I found that Pedialyte® and puppy formula were the key to proper re-hydration and nutrients. Cow milk is 100% NOT okay for them (Super glad I researched before I assumed).

He loves this pocket. He has a cage with bedding that he's all about burrowing in but whenever I take him out he goes right for this pocket and scratches it until I open it for him.

Here's a video of him hanging out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUV9nQ9SxcU

Also, I have to keep my room at a cozy 90 degrees F due to the fact they cannot produce heat as infants.

Well, that's just absurdly adorable. How much trouble will you get in if they're noticed by the powers that be?

He's no longer at work. Although my CSM thought it was cool as hell... and that man hates everything/one.

We did the same thing with a puppy in Iraq when I was in the Marines. Grunts have a soft spot for animals no matter the branch.

Haha oh I know! Y'all are great dudes, I'm just the daughter of a Navy corpsman and I've been conditioned to give anyone in the Army crap ;)

Yea I still give the Army crap, even though I switched branches!

100% correct. Normally animals and kids (as long as they aren't chucking rocks) get that reaction. Innocent things to smile about.
