Took my time before introducing the newest member of the family. He was in pretty bad shape when we found him, and he had a heck of a start.. but we are ALMOST completely healed up..
Everyone meet Oliver. I agonized over a name lol.. I wanted to name him either Highway or Traveler in memory of his harrowing start.. he said no. Oliver fits...
We found him last week in the engine compartment of my car. We tried for 2 days to coax him out with food, then we were certain he was gone. I drove to town made several stops and home only to once more hear him screaming from my car.. bless Sandy for taking my car apart in an effort to finally get hold of him and get him inside. He had multiple bot fly larvae or Warbles as some call them. I got them out and cleaned up and they are finally healing up. Poor little guy has had a rough start. Thankfully he has found a soft place to land and a home where he will be loved. Well by Sandy and I anyway... Ella is NOT impressed!
