a story of survival, by my dear friend dave lutz:

Wakkondot: ooh

Wakkondot: i rescued a baby bat last night
Wakkondot: i fed it with pedialyte and a brush
alannahbean: are you keeping it? loving it?
Wakkondot: and made a fake roost
Wakkondot: and put it out last ngiht
Wakkondot: its mom came and got it
Wakkondot: i saved him
alannahbean: i love that story
alannahbean: that is precisely why i adore you
Wakkondot: it was soooooooo coool
Wakkondot: i made a roost with some drawer liner, a cardboard box, and a ripped pair of boxers
Wakkondot: then fed him with the pedialyte
alannahbean: :-)
Wakkondot: i had to climb up on a ladder
Wakkondot: and put the "fake roost" up 10 feet
Wakkondot: and check later
Wakkondot: i had to handle the little bat with gloves
Wakkondot: it was soooo cool
Wakkondot: you know, little brown bats can eat 800 mosquitos a night
Wakkondot: and they only have 1 offspring a year
Wakkondot: so he was important
alannahbean: i want to hug you.
Wakkondot: haha
Wakkondot: so he survived
Wakkondot: that should give you good dreams
