No pictures I'm afraid but a cute story. Yesterday afternoon I found a baby ground squirrel where I work in Scottsdale AZ, which is near a lot of open desert. Lots of squirrels running around but this one was way too far from where he was supposed to be. He was shivering and squeaking for his mom. His eyes weren't quite open yet, probably only a couple weeks old. I only had a few minutes left on my lunch break, so it was leave it to nature or take him back inside and wait until I could get him home. Unfortunately I didn't have the option of leaving early. So I sat at my desk and finished the work day with the little guy in my lap, covered by my coat. I had messaged my manager about the situation and she said no way to keeping the squirrel inside, but when she came and saw him she pretty much fell in love with him, and later brought about seven people by my cubicle to see. He was the star of the office that day. When I got him home we got some Pedialite to hydrate him and a heating pad to put him on, and the little guy started to perk up. Getting liquid into him was tough because he was so squirmy and wanted to climb everything, but he eventually started sucking it down and was able to sleep. I kept giving him liquid every hour or so, and each time I brough him out he was doing a little better and getting bolder. I named him Squiggle. Next morning he woke me up with a littany of high pitched chirps to let me know he was cold. I reheated his pad (one of those rice pad things for aches and pains) and put it in with him, and he went right back to sleep. I didn't feed him during this time, because the info on what to feed squirrels was conflicting- milk, no milk, puppy replacement milk is fine, absolutely not, etc. They all agreed warmth and liquid was most important so I stuck with that. As soon as I got up I called a lady in Queen Creek who does rehab of small mammals. I took Squiggle to her as soon as I could this morning, and she told me he was in fine shape and would do well with the other baby squirrels she had (she got seven new ones just over the weekend). I had been worried about whether I did the right thing by taking him, as whenever you see a baby animal it's always possible mom is nearby and will come get him. But from what I described, with Squiggle so far from the normal area, wandering alone, the lady surmised that something had happened to the mom or the nest had beed disturbed, and even at two weeks the babies will crawl out looking for her if she doesn't come back. So little guy had a hard day yesterday but he's now safe and sound and will grow up with his squirrel buddies. God speed, Squiggle.

Thank you all and special thanks to the great lady who runs Desert Cry Wildlife and takes in all the little animals other people consider nuisances. If you find orphaned or injured squirrels, rabbits, skunks, etc. in the Phoenix area, please give her a call.

Possums are great, I don't care what anybody says. I forgot my roommate took a picture of Squiggle when I first brought him home. There's the little potato.

Gorilla Salad posted:I found an abstract for a research paper many years ago on the effect of delaying the activation of genes for (I think) vitamin A production in birds when they're still developing in the egg. When they altered the point at which the vitamin production was supposed to begin, the birds developed scales instead of feathers. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/03/160307153051.htm I don't think this is the one you are talking about but neat anyway. There's a way of causing a chicken embryo to develop dinosaur leg bones by inhibiting their maturation, because birds naturally develop dinosaur legs as part of their growth in the egg before getting their bird legs. You don't even have to change much, just stop it at the right time.

Seems like allowing ac or music or whatever without the keys would make it really easy to leave it on overnight or something. At least I would do that. Luckily my car has a bunch of idiot proofing to keep me from doing anything without keys.

I lose brushing privileges for 24 hours. Seriously, he won't let me have it. He gave me this disapproving glare until he fell asleep on the comb, and just now made a dash for the door. Cats are serious about bellies.

Incoming olde catte! Look at those teef. His name is Manzanita, and he's 20. His girl brought him from Chicago to Phoenix. We were worried about how he would handle it but after a few months of being a scaredy catte he settled in and now spends his days wandering the house, lying in the sun in the backyard and wailing for food from anybody who passes by. He's skin and bones even though he eats like a horse. He is totally deaf and can't hear the racket he makes, and this leads him to blunder into other cattes who have already issued a growl warning. But he's been good therapy for our two new adoptees who aren't used to other cats yet. Athena went from being freaked out a week ago to finally chillin a bit and I took this last night: Actual butts touching and both asleep. Manz's "don't care, I'm old" attitude has won her over at last. Milo the big Maine Coon still has a way to go yet.

Capybaras evolved features that would give them a strong advantage in a petting zoo environment, millions of years in advance of the existence of petting zoos. That's some smart genes.
