woodchuck

I had the late shift at the center last night. I discovered the shivering woodchuck that was rescued from a cold creek by a precious (12 year old) girl was dying. I picked the limp body and held her, my heart broke and I cried. We had been treating the groundhog for pneumonia. We lost this battle. Rehabbing wildlife has it’s very difficult moments and this will go down as one of my most difficult ones. Now, I have to pick up the phone and call this concerned young lady’s parents, so she can be told her groundhog she pulled from under a rock in the creek will not be released. This is a double hit, my heart just broke again…
