Tonight around 4:15pm there were 2 highschool aged girls sitting on the side of the road with a box and an injured squirrel.

I went home and got some gloves and a blanket and went back. The girls said that they had already called the humane society and had been waiting a long time for them to show up.
One of them used the gloves and carefully picked him up and placed him in the box and covered him with the blanket.

Thankfully the humane society employee arrived and was very apologetic for taking so long. He explained that he had a very busy 12 hour day and got there as soon as he could.

I wanted to spot those two girls for taking the time to sit on the cold, wet road to keep the squirrel from crawling out into the road and getting hurt. I am sure more than a few people walked passed and didn't give it another thought.

I also wanted to spot the guy from the humane society who thanklessly helps animals in our community. He mentioned he had to assist with many cases involving dogs today.

Thank you all for your thoughtfulness.
