So Killer, pictured above lounging on the decorative throw pillows, caught a mammal and was eating it in the back yard last night. Ryan wasn't sure if it was a baby mouse or what so he did some google research. Turns out we had a nest of baby squirrels fall out of one of the palm trees. Due to Hurricane Ike there are lots of displaced wildlife animals now and so we came across a wildlife rehab site that gave phone numbers. Ryan called and said we had a nest fall down and the lady actually said, "Oh this is an emergency!!" So we packed the squirrels in a box and rushed them to the lady's house. She has incubators in her laundry room and added our squirrels to the four she is already caring for. They will be released back into nature in about 8 weeks. Hopefully no one runs them over. Thanks to Ryan there are 2 more squirrels in Texas tonight. Who knew squirrel rehab even existed.

holy cow if you guys need squirrels we can send you some! They are really cute though ... and Killer doesn't look too happy about his meal being interrupted.
