I raised a squirrel once. My BF at the time (glad to say he's an X now!) and I were walking in Stanley Park and came across a baby squirrel on the road. Apparently his Mother was hit by a car. I sought out the advice from some Parks keepers and took little Skippy home. He was bottle fed every two hours for a while and after a few months he was ready for release. We took him to the same place where I found him and he took off and started playing with the other squirrels down there. It was quite heartwarming and painful at the same time. That's why I can't foster...
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
