Precious — he is so helpless and you are so gentle. Thank you for sharing all your tender moments with #Ramone.
May many orphaned baby squirrels be lucky enough to find foster parents like you and Linus! #babysquirrel
@Nonilex@thepoliticalcat omg i was just wondering how thumbalina is doing and then BAM universe puts another squirrel on the internet in my peripheral vision. the universe is pretty great! 🐿️
• My 14 yr old rescue dog Linus who no matter where we live (I move A LOT) either sleeps on the couch or the dogbed in my bedroom, now sleeps right next to the table where I’ve set up all things Ramone.
Apparently we’re both now nursemaids, so expect to always hear his snore in Ramone videos.
• Also I’ve officially designated my grey hoodie as Ramone feeding clothes, don’t like wasting water & try to limit laundry.
[meaning, yer only way of marking time will be the color / intensity of the light — just like Ramone & me; I currently live where “thar be dragons” … so … yeah]
Things I love in this video:
a. how Ramone instantly falls asleep when I give him a belly-rub.
b. the way he grips my thumb even through the cloth
c. where we are in our relationship -- a place of trust🥰
This was really early Sat + this little one needs to be fed every 2hrs which takes about an hour so we were both crazy sleepy leading to:
a. Ramone basically sleep drinking
b. Me calling “Pedialyte” “Prilosec” I don’t use either, but my TV/radio consumption is mostly news, whose ads target an older demographic meaning I hear ads for heartburn, arthritis, ED, heart disease; guess it crept into my subconscious vocab.
Also this was right before I could tell she was a he.
a. My dog’s hilariously sonorous snoring in the background
b. A glorious dump by Ramone, my reaction 🤷🏼♀️
c. My trembling hands are a PSA for just one reason you shouldn’t use your smartphone too much (I mean I’ve also been handling a baby squirrel & the requisite tiny hand held equipment constantly, besides just having arthritis, & using a computer a lot, my hands are a wreck.)
Alright, who’s ready to see #Trump get his just deserts? He fucked up the whole damn world & that’s not an overstatement.
PS #BabySquirrel & I had a lovely weekend. It’s as boy! (He’s developed discernible - stuff)
He is doing quite well! Name: “Ramone” because he’s a sweet little punk rocker.
“#CatchAndKill” is a term coined by old-time #tabloid editors for buying the exclusive rights to stories, or “catching” them, for the specific purpose of ensuring the info never becomes public.
In the world of #tabloid#journalism, where ethical lines are blurry, deciding what to publish & why is often a calculus that covers #favors doled out & #chits called in.
