An actual picture of me, slithering into bed as soon as the wee ones are fed one more time.

Today kicked my butt a little, but despite starting with a heavy emotional blow, we got a lot done.

They don’t know it yet, but there’s eight kiddos who get to take the next big step tomorrow and move into their outdoor Overwinter spots.

That’s exciting, y’all!

We're interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to bring you breaking news of two Extremely Dangerous Criminals™️ on the loose.

The crime: Public urination, i.e. p*eing in my fresh laundry.

The suspects: Winifred, grey mottled half-lop female, and Schroedinger, black satin male.

Ages unknown. Communications activity suggests former or even ongoing connection with a strange shadow organization known only as The Pipsqueakery.

Stay frosty, folks. These remorseless p*epoopers could be anywhere. Granted they live in my room and my room is gated and bunnyproofed, but still. The chance of a prison break is never zero. 👀

[[Video description: a stretch of mottled brown carpet, upon which sits two large p*e pads along with two smallish bunnies. Winifred, a grey-and-white mixed mini lop/dust bunny, loafs next to Schroedinger, a black satin boy, as MB pets them both. This is all part of MB's patented Gentle Interrogation™️ technique, deployed to solve the crime of who p*ed in her fresh laundry. The interrogation yields no confessions and Schroedinger, offended at the implications, gives MB massive butt before running offscreen. Winnie stays put to enjoy more pets and grinds her teefs in joy. It is apparent that these criminals will experience no repercussions for their crimes. The system is rigged in their favor, and they know it. End description]]

Awful start to the day. Chuck died.

This wasn’t supposed to be the way his story played out.

This squirrel, who trusted humans and who was loved by his humans, was shot with a pellet gun by, pardon my language but there’s no other way to describe it, some as***le who only wanted to hurt him.

His people spent over a month trying to catch him to get him into care. They never gave up on him. And despite how much pain he was in, he never stopped going to them. He trusted them that much.

When Alex and I assessed him at intake, we considered euthanasia. He was that bad. We weren’t sure if it was recoverable. But when we found the pellet and realized this had been caused by humans, we decided to give him a chance. Because he deserved it. He deserved to be comfortable and free.

I don’t know what happened. Two days ago he was his usual, goofy self. He’d come charging out of his hammock if I said, “Chuck Chuck!” because he knew he was going to get an apple slice. His fur had grown back in. He was putting on weight.

I don’t know if I could have done anything different. When I went to bed last night, he was curled up asleep. Maybe I should have checked on him more closely. I know that’s hindsight speaking because he hadn’t shown any signs of being not okay.

This morning when I greeted him, he didn’t move. I got him out and realized how weak he was. I did everything I usually do to try to tip them back from the edge. Heat. Fluids. Glucose. He just let me hold him and looked up at me, like he was saying goodbye.

I was there with him, holding him, trying to get him back. And it didn’t matter. It wasn’t enough.

I guess he was just tired, finally. I guess he decided he’d had enough.

He got to be spoiled. He got all his favorite foods. He got to be comfy and loved.

But I really thought he was going to be a success story.

I’m so sorry, Chuck Chuck. For a big male Fox Squirrel, you were such a sweet boy. I’m so happy I got to know you, and that our paths crossed. I wish I’d got to see you released.

I’ve had a massive headache all day which has made me a grump to be around.

But here’s a cute video of the baby I’ve raised from 11G to hopefully make it up to anyone who was on the receiving end of my headache-induced pickiness today.

Please buy the squirrels Henry Blocks because clearly I’ve gone insane:

We’ve got another newcomer! This is Sharise. She came to us from one of our rescue partners (Bun Bun Brigade) with a broken leg. Like a super floppy leg. What’s with all the broken limbs lately?! ☹️

Here you can she’s still sleepy after having her leg splinted. We’re hoping it sets well enough that she won’t need to have an amputation! After her leg heals up, she’ll then get spayed and will hopefully be adoptable because she seems like a little sweetie. 🥰

This weekend, we got this girl brought to us! As you can clearly see, her left front leg is not really functional and considerably damaged. ☹️

We’ve named her Roberta, and she officially has a vet appointment for next week! Which means any donation you’re willing to make towards her vet care is greatly appreciated. Interactions with posts is also super helpful! 🥰

Anyways, Roberta will probably need her leg amputated, but we’ll see what our vet says! Think good turtle thoughts. 💚

Yesterday I gave an educational talk on keeping rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs as pets at a rural Southern Indiana library. Animal representatives that tagged along were Lauretta, Ethel, and Ravenna (rats), Jackson Applesauce and Alkali the Incredibly Loud (guinea pigs), and Marshall and Rigel (bunnies). Marshall and Rigel are too angelic to truly represent bunnies as a whole and one family left totally smitten with them.

Tomorrow I will be giving almost this exact same presentation to a Girl Scout troop to help them earn their pet care badge!

Today, my sub-permittee Holly — and her hubby, Mike!! — helped me and Jason work on some much needed outdoor enclosure space for squirrels. I’m excited to share what their seriously hard work will mean for the babies currently in care and set to Overwinter with us. But we have more work on that to do, tomorrow.

So instead!

Time for a Chuckdate!

Chuck Chuck (look, he responds to this and it’s cute, so, that’s what I call him), went out with me to Alex and Jason’s, so I could sedate him and get a good look at his jaw injury, and also how his jaw alignment was looking. Honestly, I’ve been a bit concerned, because I thought maybe his teeth were starting to overgrow again. But sometimes what’s really needed is a bit of sedation to really get a good luck without the risk of getting bit.

And boy oh boy! His chompers looked great! I mean, I still trimmed them a little, but mostly because the infection in his jaw was still a little icky, so he’s been started on a new round of antibiotics. These have to be administered via injection, so having his teeth blunted means that it’s a lot safer for me to handle him to administer said meds. I wouldn’t sedate him solely to make it safer for my fingers, but since he was already out, there was really no reason not to.

Once I got him home, he got a nice bowl of yummy food, which he dug through looking for apple slices, and then slithered beneath his bedding in a truly inspiring imitation of a subterranean tube critter.

Look. I love this guy. And a lot of people from the recovery center near where he used to live love him. So all of this is very good news.

Chuck still has a road ahead of him, but I’m hoping that by Spring, he’ll be cleared for release and I’ll get to see him happily prance off into the trees. After someone shot him with a pellet gun, he deserves that second chance.

In today's adventures at The Pipsqueakery I present you: Trash Groundhog.

I'm pretty sure that one is either Matthew or Jack after further observation but either way he is perfectly capable of knocking that compost bin over and getting out. Either way I raised that baby from a tiny pinkie in 2025 and now he's a huge chunky hog living his best life.

Mia here to remind you she still needs a forever family of her own! I’m currently working on training with her. She’s fully crate and potty trained, but now she needs to learn how to function calmly and not be a complete spaz… about everything. Is that a pit thing?? 😂

Anyways, she did SO GOOD when we did some training at Rural King today. Someone even commented how well she was minding. 😲

Her progress is slow, learning how to dog, but she’s doing excellent! She doesn’t love strangers or men in hats… but she still listened so well with other people around. 🖤

If you’re interested in Mia, just reach out and let us know! She still has food on our Amazon wishlist and we bought some treats for her today at the store. 🥰

(Pic of Mia when I first found her, in comments!)
