Hammy Lives!!!

Hammy is the squirrel that Jordan Hockaday and Joshua found on the side of the road near a dead mama squirrel. They brought it home and managed through some miracle to get it to live. He was so tiny I didn't know if he would make it. He made it all right--and became a fixture on Joshua's head! Hammy (the squirrel) lived in the gray house with him and had the run of it for a while till he got too rambunctious and had to be caged while Josh was gone. Once he got his tail caught in a door and it pulled half of it off--Robert said he helped in the pulling of that tail accidently while he and Josh were trying to introduce Hammy to his new cage---it never grew back. Robert and Josh built him a tree house and nailed it to the walnut tree out back--he had a porch and would come out to let you hand him nuts and seeds. He lived there most of the winter and then come Spring one day he just journeyed forth! We often wondered if he was living nearby as we never saw him--well, just the other day we saw a tail-less squirrel down at the shop--Josh is sure it must be Hammy---He lives!
