The life of Chip

Ted — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:10:21 +0000

Here’s a nice blog, Chip Pics, about a hiker who discovers a nearly frozen, barely alive chipmunk. She was able to nurse the little guy back to life and he has become a part of the family.

Here was Chip as I found him: curled up, cold, appearing to be dead, in the middle of a trail in the Olympics.

Over the next hour, as I held him in my hand, he warmed up and started to move. Here he is nestled in my fleece hat. He’s just a few weeks old … eyes still closed, very immature.

Balboa Park Animal Rescue Day, originally uploaded by Jim Lockwood.

This was St. Patrick’s Day in Balboa Park, San Diego where many rescue clubs and groups were there to educate the public and let their presence be known. While people were not able to adopt pets that day, they could file applications for later.

This booth is for Bichon Furkids Rescue. Alcala Pet Care highly recommends this rescue organization.
