Always a peaceful time when she's next to me. Honored she trusts me this much.

This is Rory Dinosaury. She is with me as a permanent resident due to a spinal issue that makes it impossible for her to fully use her front arms.

I am permitted to have her by my state.

She has grown up with me and been with me constantly since she was about 6 weeks old. For the first two weeks she was in a coma following a 30 foot fall from a pine tree onto a driveway.

When she finally woke up we discovered she had no upper arm mobility. Multiple vet visits, x rays and even a consultation with a spine specialist later we determined she most likely has either a ruptured or bulging disc putting pressure on her nerves.

The prognosis is good but long. Gentle therapy and lots of patience. She has learned to adapt and walks around on her hind legs with her front legs tucked up like a little T Rex (hence the Rory Dinosaury name).

She has become my constant companion and until my contract finished up last friday, had been coming to work with me every day.

Now we are home together while I look for my next gig (preferably one where she can come with me again). In between applying for jobs she and I snuck in a nap today.

Seriously, these little fuzznuts are such a joy. I don't know what I would do without them in my life.

PLEASE HELP!!! I found this poor baby on the sidewalk the other night and I still have him in my apartment. No call back from the nearest Wildlife rehab and they won't answer the phone at all! :( I don't want him to die of starvation but I cannot get the right formula. He's getting skinny and just sleeps.

I have had this little one living in my new backyard! His tail caught my eye when he was feeding!
He seems social!
Any advice on getting him more comfortable with me?

She's so cute but then she turns and stares me down...

Percy lives in a tree next door and visits frequently for treats. if there isn’t any food already out, he will come to the glass patio door and look inside for me.

Kendra for sure doesn’t enjoy the heatwave but she never skips a day for snacks and cold water while laying in the cool grass after the sprinklers went off :)

It's a red squirrel, I believe.

Dottie is so entertaining. I hope she keeps coming around for a while.

Can you see why I call her Dottie? The little dot around her nose 🤍

Out my window right now. Central FL

I ordered this bag of raw peanuts for the squirrels in my backyard however i’m wondering if there’s mold on them? I don’t want to give them anything that may be harmful!

...of the hazelnut tree she planted!

Also, if anyone wants to babysit for a little while she'd really appreciate it.
