I got a new little buddy today.

I got a new little buddy today.  A young opossum that must have fallen off of his mama too soon.  A nice lady picked him up out of her yard and drove him to Oxford all the way from Gadsden.  He's pretty small.  And dehydrated.  I've given him water a few times since we've been home.  Can't feed a dehydrated baby or it could be fatal.  He's snuggling with my two other runt boys.  I figured he'd start to feel more comfortable and "at home" in the presence of other little opossums.  Also, they'll keep him warm without me having to deal with a heating pad and all that.  😉

So far, so good.  Just gotta take it slow.  He might have to go to work with me so I can keep the fluids coming.  I'll see how he's feeling in the morning.
