I'd just like to recommend that you get a game warden for a friend. The game warden was one of the first people I met when I moved here. You may recall (because you remember everything I ever tell you) that I had tea at his house before I even moved. And that he takes his game very seriously. And that he sometimes brings his work home.
Well, this morning when I was visiting the game warden's wife (who will be known here from now on as the GWW) I witnessed the game warden at his kitchen table feeding a baby squirrel with an eye dropper. And speaking 'squirrel' to the baby squirrel (who is named Pipsqueak). And I had my camera with me and I so wanted to take a picture for you, but it just seemed a little blog crazy, but of course now I regret not getting a picture and I would like to go back for the next feeding and take a picture. (Imagine Kronk--squeak, squeak, squeak, squeaker, squeaken**) And I would take a picture of the GWW holding the squirrel, and one of it's little laundry basket bed complete with a heating pad, because the GWW is the kind of women who will make a little bed for a baby squirrel in her living room. And I would take a picture of the GWD (game warden's dog) sitting at the kitchen table while the baby squirrel sits on the kitchen table.
I asked the STP if game wardens are federal employees. Because I had this panic moment (because I don't have enough other things to occupy my mind) where I thought maybe they would be deemed 'non-essential' by someone in Washington. And then who would feed the squirrel?

I once washed the feet of a baby squirrel after it got stuck in Great Foam Insulating Sealant. Didn't think to offer it a meal.
Nancyann, you have such a servant's heart. Love you.
