Witnesses say a Eugene lady not only acted on behalf of a wounded squirrel, but took precious time out of her busy day to see that the little guy had at least a fighting chance at survival. The incident took place at the the corner of 16th and Oak st. in downtown Eugene. A mother squirrel and her offspring were crossing the busy street when a car struck the baby, injuring his back and legs. The baby squirrel, helpless to escape on his own or with his mother's help was rescued by the good samaritan who then drove the little guy to Willamette Wild Animal Rescue.
As it turns out, this same samaritan, who's also known as my wife, was witnessed stopping morning rush-hour traffic in downtown Denver to assist a baby duck who was seperated from its family. She then drove said critter to her husbands work to have the duck couriered to a wildlife refuge in Boulder Colorado.
Some people might think her crazy, but if crazy is taking time to help, even when its inconvenient, then I would like to be crazy too. In fact, I would like the whole world to be crazy.

Isn't it great that there are those people out there who go out of their way to help those less fortunate. I am so proud to be the MOTHER of that crazy lady. I wish I could say she got it from me but not such luck. I think that she got that from the "Dagnon" side of the family. But I will try to do my best to live up to her expectations from now on. Hopefully there won't be any wounded cows (being as I'm from Wisconsin they are numerous here)for me to have to put in my car and take to the vet. Good Job KIM!
I had help. Linny Mae was right there with the stick to help the critter in the box. Plus she made the calls so I didn't sound like a looney.
Well I'm glad that her husband loves the way she is or she would probably still be at home bringing the strays there. She now has him bringing home strays too so they make a great couple.
As the father of the husband of that crazy lady, he was just bringing home a stray when he found the crazy lady. Fortunately she turned out to be a KEEPER.
Nice dad. Ha ha
LINDA SAYS** THATS MY GIRL. NO WONDER I LOVE HER SO DANG MUCH
