#TBT Merl

Spring....where are you? I am ready for warm weather. I wish I could "fly" South for the Winter just like the birds. In thinking about Spring, I remembered a couple of years ago when we found a baby squirrel. My mom found it in our backyard. It just crawled onto her shoe. It was so tiny. It just wanted to curl up and sleep in those early days.  


The squirrel was so small we had to feed it puppy formula with a syringe. This was like having a new born baby. We had to heat up the milk and she would even cry for it. 


Alex fell in love with the squirrel. He named it Merl, the squirrel. After that weekend, Alex took Merl to his house to care for it. His mom really liked having her around too. She would feed her and even give her a bath. Soon Merl spent her days on the screened in back porch. She would just jump from place to place, even on you.  


Merl began to grow and get Wild! So when Merl became a "teenager" we decided to take her to the lake and build her a house. 


(Merl jumped into my purse. She was ready to go to the lake.)

(Not sure this was the safest set up!)

Merl stayed in her little house for a couple of weeks. I am guessing she found a friend and lived happily ever after :)
