I met a poorly squirrel
now what could rhyme with that
I asked what she was doing there
and then we had a chat
Suggested she move somewhere safe
and not stay on the ground
I even helped her start to climb
close by where she was found
I came back later she was there
looking much the same
I do not think that she’ll survive
it really is a shame!
Aww! Cute

Oh! Sad. We had a disabled squirrel running around in the Spring. I called it Gimpy. Eventually it just disappeared. We were quite sad. Poor wee things.

Our cousin lived in the country side next to a small town. He wrote several poems ..one a Robin, and a paper chasing dog. He delivered a newspaper, and when he checked to see the paper was safe, a dog had picked it up carrying it away.

How did you determine that she was a female? I think that referral might rhyme with squirrel.

And we saw at least six poorly rabbits while out walking this week. Myxomatosis must be back.

On, poor squirrel, I hope she didn’t suffer.
We have a lady squirrel that visits regularly, she stays for a few minutes then rushes off, minutes later she’s back for another short session. I had assumed she was gathering and storing ready for the winter. She’s the only one that does that, the others visit and stay until they’ve had their fill.

Oh! 😦 This makes me so sad. 😦
I hope she will either recover miraculously or have a peaceful painless passing.
We aren’t seeing as many birds these days…I think the animals here are having a hard time finding water and food. 😦
(((HUGS)))

Poor Lady Squirrel. Hopefully she was just feeling a little down and your attention helped her out of the blues. Lets hope.

Aww, poor little squirrel. 🙁 It’s always sad to see something dead or dying, but I always try to remind myself that it is part of the natural cycle. And now I have ‘Circle of Life’ playing in my head…
