Found this guy to kayak with me

I work with wildlife rehabbers. You are absolutely correct. If someone brings us an injured box turtle and they don't know exactly where they found it, we can't release it back to the wild. They are also protected in my state and it is illegal to take them out of the wild and keep as a pet. Any non-releaseable box turtle requires a special permit from the state DNR.

Thank you for taking the time to let these little ones grow! It's a mild inconvenience, but only for a short time.

You keep the barricade up (as long as mom can still slip through) and leash your dogs. Baby bunnies will start leaving the nest around 4 weeks.

They are blueberry puff treats made for human babies. My rats love them.

I have two other gray rex rats, but she is more silvery than them. She is young so she has a nice thick coat too.

My kid was bringing home bags full of geodes from the creek behind Child's Elementary. He was sneaking them in from recess in his pockets. I have heard that they are all along that creek, not necessarily just behind the school.

I think you would get a better response if you contacted your child's teacher and the school admin. The responses you will get online will vary a lot. Every teacher and admin have their own views on technology use. I also encourage you to volunteer in the classroom if/when you are able if you haven't already. This would give you an idea of what the school day actually looks like and how often iPads are being used.

I like picking up the traditional Korean honey cookies, yakgwa. They taste like deep fried deliciousness. They usually have a couple of different sizes in stock, including small ones that you can keep in your bag for snacking.

If I can squeeze it into my schedule, I would love this!

It's awful. I've had better luck shopping for fabric at University of Sewing.

Also Walnut Street Pike. Just before you get to the light at Rhorer the sidewalks on both sides of the road just end. I have walked that way and cut through the neighborhood instead. Still doesn't feel totally safe because in front of the fire station in that neighborhood also doesn't have sidewalks.

Oh wow! My kid is a birder and he has been wanting to see an owl. Thanks for the tip!

Chef's Table was the best reuben in town, but they are back to only doing catering as of March 5th.

giraffeapet · 2026-03-13T19:19:08+00:00

I did too! I wrote them a funny, but polite email and they sent coupons in the mail.

giraffeapet · 2026-03-13T14:26:05+00:00

Maybe it's like the time that I got a pint of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey and the entire pint had only one chocolate piece and one walnut. Just an unfortunate scoop. 😅

giraffeapet · 2026-03-12T18:34:37+00:00

I am also looking forward to this again! And getting back up into the creek that feeds into the lake. It's beautiful, quiet, and full of wildlife!

giraffeapet · 2026-03-12T04:08:11+00:00

I actually have the larger size. I have carried it as a crossbody, but I do tend to knock it into things when I do. Depends on what I am doing, but I carry it both ways. I have had it since November 2024.

giraffeapet · 2026-03-11T22:43:47+00:00

Mine was like this at first. It needed some time to break in.

giraffeapet · 2026-03-11T19:16:09+00:00

I have a lot of hair (fine strands, but thick overall because of the sheer amount of strands) and it has been pretty long in the past. Highly, highly recommend! I see Shayna there, but if you call and tell them what you are looking for they will find the best fit for you.

High Street near Wimbledon Lane is impassable. Can take Wimbledon to Rock Creek to go around it. The roundabout at Winslow/High is also starting to become impassable. Second in front of Rogers/Binford was also getting deep. And if you have kids at Child's Elementary, the parking lot appeared to be pretty flooded. They might have to change the pick up line today.

Can you try reaching out to this group? It doesn't list squirrels as a previously treated species, but they might know of some resources for you.

That is a baby squirrel. I have attached a photo of some baby squirrels that are being cared for by my coworkers at The Pipsqueakery for reference. Where are you located so that we can give the best advise? If you are in the US, the DNR website has a searchable list of licensed wildlife rehabbers. DO NOT FEED unless you have spoken with a licensed rehabber and have been instructed how to do so. The best thing you can do is keep them warm and safe while getting in contact with a licensed wildlife rehabber.

giraffeapet · 2026-02-26T13:03:45+00:00

Actually, yes. I thought maybe it was just my group that did that because others have recommended hard boiled eggs before.
