For those of you following the story of our orchard babies here is a quick update with pictures in the comments! They have come so far. From being born out in the orchard, having their mother (who was dumped out there. pregnant and alone) run over by a car, to living alone under the seatrain in the hole momma dug to make a home for them. Their only real contact with people were the kind men from both Contra Costa Electric Co. (thank you Robert! They appreciated you sharing half of your sandwich with them!) and California Resources Corp. (thank you Donte and the other CRC guys!) who came out to service the orchard equipment. All those guys brought food out to them almost daily. Pretty sure they wouldnt have made it otherwise so huge shout out to them! And a giant thanks to Eddie Revilla and his wonderful wife Gina for all of the hours you put in trying to catch these little stinkpots! You guys are amazing!) After a few weeks of decompressing the babies began to allow us to touch them. First it was just a scritch under the chin, then slowly it was more. And boy take a look at them now! We cant pick them up yet (but we are working on it) but they have come so far.🥰We are so proud of these little girls! As it ends up, it is 2 girls, not a boy and a girl as we first thought, it took us awhile to get close enough to see their parts, lol. They still have a ways to go, potty training, shots and getting spayed but we are confident they will be ready to handle all that soon! Thanks again to the men from CRC, Contra Costa Electric, Eddie and Gina and to the orchard owner for alerting us to them and trying so hard to help us catch them. What a great group of folks we were so blessed to have around us. (Thanks God for sending them BTW!) If you are interested in adopting one of these girls please contact us for an application! And check out the comments for the latest pics of these little squirts! Have a great weekend!☺
