I'm betting you're glad to be "free and clear" of the back issue as well... Even if it does mean back to work. Glad the pain is gone.

I bottle raised a squirrel one time. One thing I can tell you.....never keep a squirrel as a house pet! LOL Glad the momma took them back!
I am happy for you that you can go back to work again. It may take some time to get back into the swing of things, just be careful and don't overdo it.

I know it feels Great to be rid of the aching back....tho, going to work doesn't seem like a just reward.....sure hope ya never have to deal with that again. I'm glad the momma took them back for the kids sake, but can't say they would've had the opportunity here....we have an over abundance of them. It seems cats always have to inspect any changes in their areas, I know ours do....and they don't wait for ya to finish doing it, they even have to checkout the tools I use....while I'm using them.....

Tree rats are a plague around here...they gnaw on and chew up everything they can find.
I had to put up hardware cloth on the eves of my shop to keep them out of the feed and from gnawing on wire insulation that runs thru the studs of the unfinished walls. Chewed the nozzle off my deer feeder. Chewed up the plastic housing around the solar powered light down at the pond.
They eat more creep feed than the calves do.
I did not for one minute feel sorry for the one squirrel I found drowned after the flood, but did wonder how in the heck can a squirrel drown?...they can climb anything.

We don’t have many squirrels here. The dogs keep the population in check. Lana could catch them! The kids enjoy watching them from the windows too. I may also be a bit of a softie...

We have walnut trees so the squirrels show up fairly regular.

We have rabbits everywhere. I even raised four that I saved from a snake. It had one in its mouth but I killed it quick enough that the baby lived. Raccoons are my problem here. They run off with my chickens or pull my chicks through the cages. They also chew through the plastic containers I keep my feed in. I don't mind the possums. They just clean up what is left behind.
