Well, I just experienced my first REAL squirrel bite.

Well, I just experienced my first REAL squirrel bite.  It's not so bad.  I mean, it is deep and it is bleeding, but it hurts less than I thought it would... for now.  LOL  He got me on the palm side of where my pointer finger connects to my hand, right on that vein.  It's been bleeding a lot off and on.  I'll give it until later today before I freak out.

In Dumplin's defense I stuck my hand in his cage after he gave me a warning chatter.  I know that sounds stupid (and I guess it was), but he chewed a hole in his new water bottle last night, (and a hole in his old one on Saturday), so I was giving him a dish of water until I could get a new (hopefully chew-proof) water bottle today.  He didn't understand that, though.  All he knew was that I was invading his space even though he told me not to.  I guess that seemed pretty rude and I don't hold that against him.  I should have listened to him, but instead I thought "I'll just give him this water real quick."  A lot of good that did - seeing as how he's knocked it over already.  I think he'll have to rough it today until I'm home after work with his new bottle.  Poor little spoiled indoor squirrel.  LOL

Well, that is a lesson learned.  It doesn't hurt much yet, but I'm sure my hand is gonna ache like whoa later.  And that is just what I get for not listening to what he said.  Bad Blu!  I will definitely pay attention next time, little buddy.  ❤
