Five baby squirrels showed up on our patio.
There had been a high wind storm and we guessed that their nest had blown down.

They were friendly and crawled up on my feet.
Cute as they could be.
I picked them up.
Had some photos taken with them in my lap and on my shoulder.
Fed them.

And then I looked closer.
They were RIFE with fleas.
yuck
