Alvin has a housemate.
A friend of mine from Tha Rae brought me a female squirrel as a companion for Alvin
Alvin is two years old, the new female, still unnamed is probably middle aged.
In the wild squirrels live to about 12 years, in captivity over 20 years.
Putting the two in the same cage did not work out.
It wasn't a fight,
rather a territorial dance.
Lady squirrel has a separate cage for the time being.
One morning, while at my computer I heard incessant squealing.
At first I thought the high pitch sound came from birds outside my window.
Not so!!
It took a while, but I finally decided the noise is coming from within.
A baby squirrel an inch tall, on a ripped towel in the cage floor.
The mother had taken it out of the nest.
The screeching only stopped hours later when the mother returned the baby to the nest.
Days of no sounds, utter silence.
I was becoming anxious. Had the infant squirrel died.
Relief this morning, I heard the baby squirrel
As the days are getting hotter, kids tend to head to the nearest watering hole to cool down.
Unfortunately with the hot season approaching, so does the season of drownings.
A first drowning in Sakon City yesterday, a young Patana school student.
Apparently he was swimming alone. Discovered hours later.

After a couple hottest days of the year, 39C Felt like 42,
a five day cooling trend is in the makings.
Temperatures are forecast to dip into the upper 20's C.
Possibly as low as 27C
It's a temperature roller coaster ride. This might be the last of the cool days.
March temperatures mostly in the lower to mid 30.
Rain possible next weekend.
Depends how much the weather dissipates as it moves in from the south.
