Good god, it’s Stumpy.

I had written Stumpy off as having gone to the Great Wildlife Vortex in the Sky months ago, but what should limp onto the deck today but a squirrel with a puff of tail and a dangling and dislocated hind leg. I am quite astounded. Unlike Gimpy, her leg does not seem to have formed a false joint or anything, it’s pretty well useless, but her truncated tail is nicely healed, if very short. Amazing.

Wonder where she’s been all this time…
