No new blanket this week. I finished the one I showed last week, started a new one and then the weather got warm. Really warm. Too warm to sit and work on something with a lap full of yarn.
It has cooled off so I am working on it again, but only about 75% of the way through. Getting some of it done during baseball games this week. As I write this the Brewer's game will be later on Thursday evening.
I did my kindness to animals today. I noticed a squirrel underneath the bird bath and it just stayed there. Even went I went outside it didn't run away. I moved the bath off and saw two of its front claws caught in the support.
So when I moved the bath off I could see the problem. I was able to clear one claw by pushing it up with a piece of wood. The second one was really stuck. I ended up using a pliers to bend the metal hoping to free it up and push it out. At first it didn't work and I thought I would have to call my pest control people to help out, but then suddenly the little guy was free and scampered away.
I managed to do this and not get scratched or bitten! I took a pic of the area where the claw was stuck. You can see how narrow it gets. Likely a younger squirrel, it was small. I did at first have to contend with an adult squirrel who was around. I got that one scared off so I only had to deal with the one that was stuck.
A couple of pics of Ducky. He had me worried as he was sitting here, eyes closed, head down. A place he usually doesn't sit. I was worried he had collapsed. When I went over he opening his eyes and got up. Freaked me out!
Happy Fall!
Well done on releasing the squirrel. I am glad you were careful and didn't get bitten.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Ducky. Cats are very good at freaking their owners out.
That was nice that you went to save the squirrel even if it might have caused you harm - also happy there was no issues with The Ducky! (I totally get the freak out!)

What a great job, helping the squirrel. I hope it knows better next time.
ReplyDeleteAs for Ducky, gracious, they can scare us out of a year's growth that way, and we can't afford to lose it!
