Death of a Squirrel

Whew!

It's good to be back.

The automatic Google Robots decided that this blog was not the prouct of Darth Vader.

Okay

I'm a bit depressed today, because a squirrel died.

It had fallen from a nest 14 days ago. This is how it looked 14 days ago.

I nursed it and it was doing fine.

It became sprightly and was growing.

then suddenly, this morning

We found it dead.

No reason apparently.

Well fed.

It was frisky at eleven last night.

Four in the morning we held its warm, lifeless body.

Still soft.

What killed it?

Heatstroke? A weak heart?

Really don't know.
