This was interesting....
Miriam {my 9 year old} went to feed the dogs & chickens down at the barn today and this is what she found...   Does anyone know what it is??? It IS alive, by the way! ...Give up??? Well we got on-line and looked it up, we thought it was a mole. But it isn't then we looked up...ready? Opossum! Can you believe it? This cute TINY, {it is only about an inch and a half, two inches max!!!} thing will grow up to be an ugly old Opossum!  If it lives, that is.Miriam {my 9 yr.old} wants to keep it and try to raise it, as a kinda science project. I have kept it warm and snuggled all day and tried to dropper feed it water, but one of the places we looked on line said it needed electrolytes but I do not have any, but then just now another website said do NOT give it water or anything, it is probably in shock and may die if you do! Well to late for that one. I didn't know that till about 5 minutes ago. I will keep it warm and let it sleep and see if it is still alive in the morning, sure is a cute tiny bugger!!! Well I'll let y'all know what becomes of the little fella, ugly as they become, sure hope he makes it! Well Good Night to All. ~Christian Country Mama~ |
