It’s 4 am here and my daughter woke up me up extremely upset.. one of the squirrels didn’t make it. Yesterday was a week in her care being fed every 2 hours & I was shocked that they made it this far. She has done an excellent job and beat some unbeatable odds. Now I’m angry at the little rodent for living long enough to give her hope & then dying!!

Oh, that’s sad. :( I’m also surprised they made it this far. Hope she feels better soon. She did all she could.

I think I’ve got all my supplies done... the new addition had me scrambling! I got him enrolled this morning and everyone starts Monday . Smile & breathe!!
Well done, Heather!
It all takes some organising doesn't it?
Does your godson like school?

What a shame:(
She did so well to keep it going for so long - at least it had a chance.
I know she'll be upset but I hope when that passes she will be proud of herself for taking it on and her dedication.

Good morning everyone.
Happy Wednesday to you all.
I will probably go into school this afternoon just to get ready for the new term.
I've done some work at home over the holidays but some things I need to be in the classroom for and near a photocopier!!
Anyway catch you all later, have a good day.

Oh dear. Nature can be tough :( Your daughter couldn't have done any more, but that is no consolation to her I am sure.

Big electronic hug from over the pond to both of you

A big bear hug for you and your daughter ! Some fights can`t be won. I have raised very young cat babies in the past. The younger they are the bigger the possibility that they don`t make it. That is cruel but it is not only in our hands if they overlive or not.:(

Thanks Lyn!! It always surprises me when everything falls together... but it happens:))

They don’t start until this next Monday but the Jr High he will be going to just got built last year so it’s nice. My daughter is jealous because when she went, it was nasty ! Lol He (Dillon) seems to be happy in my house. I hope it stays that way. He’s very good with my young one too!

Thanks Linda! She was up tending the other one when I left for work this morning and she seemed much better. She’s tough!

Did you have a bad experience as a child, Gillian?
Good evening Lena, and everyone else at CDR.

No, thank God I did not. But someone I know got bitten by a dog very long ago. Since then I've been scared to death of dogs. And I just cannot get rid of this fear. Mind you, I was lucky it didn't happen in front of me.
