Found this tiny critter in my driveway this
morning, and ants were swarming around him,
so I scooped him up, went to Petco and got
a little container, food, etc, and brought
him inside to hopefully recover.

I think he must've fallen from one of the
60-foot palm trees that line my sidewalk,
and hit the ground pretty hard, causing him
some internal problems. He actually walked
around quite a but, but with a limp, and
with some disorientation...

Around hour 7, I got thinking that I should
probably use an eye-dropper and try to give
him some milk. While in the process of
preparing to do this, he died.


R.I.P., Mr. Jingles...

Sorry to hear about Mr. Jingles, Cryogenix
Atleast he spent his last hours with someone who cared enough to take him in & make him comfortable.

What a kind thing to try and help this little guy. I'm so sorry it didn't work out. You will have one more little furry waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure he knew that you cared for him.

At least he was with someone who cared for him in his last moments of life.

Aw poor little thing
I just pleased someone cared enough to make his life a little more comfortable in the last few hours.
