Today, something happened to me that has never happened to me before- or anyone I know for that matter. I saw a baby squirrel. That's right. A baby squirrel. No one sees baby squirrels. But Andy has. And it happened when I took Winston out. So here's my logic.
I went to Calvin College and because of that I ----->
Joined the Improv Team and because of that I ----->
Met Melissa and because of that I ----->
Got married to her and because of that I ----->
Bought an apartment that conveniently had a fence and because of that I ----->
Bought a dog and because of that I ----->
Had to take him out to use the facilities and because of that I ----->
Saw a baby squirrel!
Thanks Calvin College.
In case you wanted to know, this is what a baby squirrel looks like.

Taylor loves squirrels! And now he loves baby squirrels!
Andy - I actually once cut down a tree, only to discover that it was hollow and at the bottom was a squirrel nest. I heard some chatter and reached down into the hole and found a baby squirrel! So what should have been the best day of my life turned into the worst because I accidentally destroyed its home. To make matters worse, it was a flying squirrel... it had some serious webbing between its front and back legs, and there were two big squirrels gliding from tree to tree and making a racket. We had to report the whole thing to the state of NH because they are protected somehow... Doh.
Andy,
Just so you know, it's a dwarf runt and not a baby squirrel. You can tell by the splayed left toe. Normal squirrels have uniform symmetry in the toe structure. As you can imagine, flying squirrels are quite different, and have webbed feet for swimming ( and chasing golf balls you have misplaced). You also interrupted this squirrels' prayer time, and yes, they pray with their eyes open. Also, baby squirrels wear bibs when they eat, so we know this one was not eating.
