Talking

"I'm Just VERY Hungry"


Got another call from Shi a little while ago asking if I would like to accompany her on 'another' rescue. Sure, why not.

This little darling was found in a hallway at one of our local malls. A fellow who works at Animal Kingdom (a pet shop within the mall) found the little guy & brought him to the store for safe keeping.

Somehow Shi got a call about him.

We get to the pet shop & are escorted to the back room where this guy was huddled in a corner of a cage. I reached in to pick him up & he immediately started squeaking & didn't finish until his little crop was full.

We brought him to my place & got him fed. And did he eat!

I wanted to get a couple pictures so asked Shi if she'd like to feed him. I think she had as much fun feeding him as he had eating.

She will update whenever she logs on.

Such an adorable & active little squeaker.

Here are a couple pictures

* You weren't supposed to notice that, Renee.
I must have hit the submit button rather than the preview button & I was hurrying to get the pictures posted before anyone noticed. Guess I wasn't fast enough.

** He sure is.

*** While I was putting some formula in the nipple he was practically walking over my hands to get to the FOOD. He was one hungry little squeaker.

As soon as Shi put him in the carrier to take him to her place, he nestled right down for an afternoon nap.

Why, he is just a baby! Cute as a button and the age that I absolutely adore. I I'm so glad Shi will have the pleasure of raising this sweet baby with Cindy's great help. You ladies did real good!

Cindy, thank you so much for the pictures.

Boy, wasn't that a funny place to find a squeaker! D'ya' think he just walked through the front door and down the way until somebody finally asked him what he was doin' in there?

I was wondering that too and one so tiny! If he was a week or so older, I MIGHT understand how it could happen, but this one is SO young......makes ya wonder if someone "put" him there?

*** Cindy, thank you so much for the pictures.
* I do as well.

** They're fun to raise at that age.
Although I can no longer board any birds, I told her if she runs into any trouble I'll be happy to help.

*** I thought it would be fun to post a couple of him eating.

Cindy & Shi........THE INCREDIBLE - UNSTOPABLE - RESCUE TEAM

You ladies are amazing.!!! I'ts about one a week now. Shi is definately going to need a larger apartment at this rate.

This baby is so precious. Mr Squeaks is in for some real competition with this little one for sure. Maybe he should be called "Squeaks Jr."

Thank you both for all that you do.

Regards,
Louise

Shi, this is getting really serious now. I truly believe you need to get Cindy & Kippy to help you go shopping for a sofa bed for your living room. You may not think your bones are so old but just you wait until you try getting up after bunking on the living room floor a couple nights.

How adorable! From the look of those pics that lil booger doesn't have a face Shi should rig up one of those good old horsey type feedbags on that lil one. Good luck raising you new "guest", you're going to need all you Scorpio powers to resist keeping him on full time
