Trent's New Pet



We have a new creature at our house. We found a grounded baby robin today. While we were debating if perhaps we should just leave him be, hoping the mom would still come to the ground to feed it, a cat lurking in the bushes made up our minds. I thought it would probably be wise to wear gloves to work with the little guy (you know with all those bird diseases and such) so Trent even wore latex gloves. Trent is now the proud caretaker of a bird. He has created a cozy nest for it out of wool from my mom's sheep and has been busy digging for it's dinner. Would you know that a baby robin has to be fed every 45 minutes? Trent is going to be busy...

Emily,
He is seriously cracking us up with that Robin! We have enjoyed several giggle fits over the whole deal...is it just me, or does he seem to have a bit more time on his hands?! Good luck to old Sully!
Oh, by the way your birthday lunch looked like fun!
