Hendersonville NC and Revival of A Chipmonk! My hubby found this little fellow in our yard and just couldn't believe he/she met his end. So, he picked him or her up (we didn't ascertain which!) and wanted to see if we could revive it. There was no sign of blood or injury, so, we thought we'd give it a go.
Apparently the cold or something just didn't agree with this little chipmonk and it appeared to be in deep hibernation -- or worse!
Since we have 2 smaller species of dogs, but unbelievably energetic creatures, we had to keep them separate during the attempt at resuscitation of our native Hendersonville chipmonk.
I went and found the poor creature a shoe box to repose in while the attempt at reviving was in process. We added some soft padding and sustenance.
We wanted to give the little creature a chance at survival as they provide us great pleasure in cavorting about at all times of the year. Their interactions with the squirrels as we feed them all is sooooo entertaining. They are like little clowns.
In any event, we were rewarded by the photo above as a chipmonk returned to the living and soon after we returned it to its habitat and hopefully family.
Now if we could only do this with the real estate market!!
By the way, here is a link re Chipmonks if you have an interest. I never would have thought that they could make good pets! If you have an interest in the Hendersonville or Western NC area info and real estate visit Robin's Website.
