When This Man Started Gardening, He Had No Idea He’d Find His Best Friend In A Bag Of Mulch.

#1

This story is one of the sweetest that we have ever had. A man wants to try out his green thumb so he bought a shovel, some gloves, and a large bag of mulch. When he opens that sack something unexpected tumbles out: a baby. More specifically: a squirrel baby.

The man named the little orphan "Zip." Barely still alive, the man decided to adopt the little pipsqueak and raise him.

#2 Zip developed wonderfully. After a few weeks, the first signs of fur begin to show clearly.

#3 Two weeks later the little guy has begun to look much more like a squirrel. But Zip is still very weak and must be picked up very carefully.

#4 After three weeks his tail is fully covered in fur. From day to day, the little baby becomes stronger and more active.

#5 In the 4th and 5th weeks his eyes begin to open. His cuteness is unbeatable. Don’t even try Boo the dog!

#6 At 6 weeks, he has begun to cling lovingly to his dad. But he still isn’t strong enough for leisurely strolls on his own feet … errrrr, paws.

#7 In the meantime Zip has become a little but esteemed young squirrel gentleman.

#8 And he’s pretty hungry.

#9 Zip has already discovered his favorite dish: blueberries.

#10 Zip is now pretty mobile and has developed his own personality! His luck seems to be unending.
