Here is a photo of my poor, sad looking squirrel friend. This was taken 2 days ago. I didn't see this squirrel at the feeder yesterday. I always worry when I don't see it fearing the worst. Well, today it showed up and the swelling is gone from it's face. It was eating and seemed pretty happy! The other squirrels take off when I approach, but this one just sits there and stares at me. Well, I started talking to it! I was so thrilled it looked a lot better. This squirrel came right over to me as I was talking to it. Came within 2 feet of me and just stopped and looked at me. LOL! I don't know if it was trying to figure out what I was saying or if it was hoping to get a peanut, but it sat there for 2 minutes and then scurried away. LOL!

BTW - It may have had a virus Parapox or may have been stung by wasps. The different wasps nest are behind the trellises attached to my backyard fence. The squirrels use that trellis to enter and exit my yard. Sometimes they scurry up the trellis and may have alarmed the wasps and been attacked and stung. I kinda think it was stung and not sick. Poor thing. At least it looks like it is finally on the mend. :-) Yay! And I took care of those dang wasps today! So hopefully we won't be seeing many anymore! You can mess with me, but don't mess with my furry critters! That makes me MAD!!!
