Meet
Baby Earl the Cowboy Squirrel from Oregon
This is my new ePal, Baby Earl, the Cowboy Squirrel.
He said that I was the cutest thing he'd seen since he opened his
eyes and saw his mom! He has an interesting story of his
rescue:
Baby Earl was found at the dump in 6 inches of mud!
He was screaming! His new daddy, Barry, thought he was a rat,
but then he noticed the fancier tail. He was about 3 weeks
old and had just been scooped up by a big demolition claw
and dropped into the back of a
dump truck...Amazingly, he survived with about 12,000
pounds of debris that fell out before he did! He called out
to his new mommy, Barbara, to come and pick him up and he's been
living the 'good life' with them ever since! Baby Earl just
turned 2 on March 1st, 2005.
He's a fox squirrel and has about 20 stuffed animals to
play with and loves to make snowmen that look like squirrels.
They all live in Oregon, so they get snow quite often. Mommy
Barb received one of my Sugar Bush Squirrel Calendars in the mail
from her sister-in-law and that's how we became
ePals. Thanks, Baby Earl, for the great pictures
and your really exciting rescue story! I think you're
really handsome, too!
