A family of Chipmunks has taken up residence in my yard for years and sometimes we find them in the pool..drowned. But this little guy and his siblings are pretty darn lucky! On friday my sister and mom came home, saw a chippy in the pool and rescued him. He was fine, a little shaky and soaking wet but he got up after awhile and ran for his little life back into his hole. On saturday morning, I don't know what made me look out the window but I saw this little dude in the pool, I ran out and got the net and saved him. He was so wet and he was twitching and breathing really heavy but he got up after 10 minutes. I figured I'd get some pics because how many times would I get this close to a chipmunk? Then last night, Chippy is in the pool AGAIN! I RUN out because he was stopping the struggle and got the net. I put him in the garden and he was so disoriented. I couldn't leave him out there so I got a towel and picked him up and got him to his hole. I just hope this stops, I don't want little chippy to end up dead.Anyway enough rambling, I figured you want to see some pics of the cutie...
Ultimate close-ups...
By the way I DID see to of the chippys this morning playing A GOOD DISTANCE from the pool so I hope I'm right when I say lesson learned. And now I know they are ok at least...Oh and I know he looks like a baby and I think he is. He looks like a new born in the pics cause he's all wet lol. I haven't seen the parents but they were around a few weeks ago.
