All flyers, all the time (this week, anyway)

LWR received several calls this past week, but none that resulted in new intakes—which I will NOT complain about this time of year. The break is nice!

And you benefit from it in that you get a whole update with only cuteness: flyers, flyers and more flyers!

First, though, a reminder that LWR has the online raffle still ongoing… Macon, Georgia’s Grand Opera House has very generously donated 2 tickets to Bring It On: The Musical in January and we’re “raffling” them off in an online drawing. From now until Dec. 6, donors will have their names entered into the drawing for the tickets, valued at $100. For every $5 donated, your name will go in the pot once, i.e., donate $25 and you’re entered 5 times. You can use the PayPal links located on each page of the website to donate, or mail your donations to Laurens Wildlife Rescue, 1101-L Hillcrest Pkwy, PMB #255, Dublin, GA 31021. The lucky winner will be announced in the Dec. 8 update! So far we have just two people in the running for these tickets, so if you wanna take a stab at winning them, donate now—time’s a-wastin’!

 And we also have the 2014 calendars available from Lulu.com: http://www.lulu.com/shop/laurens-wildlife-rescue-2014-calendar/calendar/product-21282459.html?showPreview=true . Every critter featured was one of LWR’s “guests” in 2013. Remember that all proceeds above Lulu.com’s fees will be used to fund LWR’s operations next year, so buy lots of calendars—they’ll make great Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers! The button below will take you directly to the Lulu site and add a calendar to your shopping cart automatically.

And on a very serious note, last week a LWR volunteer passed along an alert concerning an illegally held wild animal that resulted in having to get the game warden involved, and we still don’t have the situation resolved. Please remember that no matter HOW cute a wild animal or bird is, if you do not have proper state and/or federal permits, HAVING WILDLIFE IN YOUR POSSESSION IS ILLEGAL. The penalties can range from stiff fines to jail time, depending on the species and level of legal protection it enjoys. When I am made aware of these situations, believe me, I WILL contact the game warden and alert him, and he will investigate. I’m very fortunate to have a good working relationship with my game wardens, so my advice is not to make me go all legal on you—you find wildlife needing care; you call me or another rehabber. The wildlife gets the care it needs; everyone stays within the bounds of the law; nobody gets hit with fines; I don’t have to break out the voodoo dolls and hatpins.

Now, with all the serious stuff laid out for your edification, let’s move on to the overwintering flyers in all their adorable glory. No further comments even needed! (Except see above about the legal ramifications of possessing wildlife without a permit—THAT always needs to be reinforced.)

They are too cute for words! And they're getting so big! (I sound like a grandmother, don't I?)

I'm glad you had a little break with no intakes - that must be a fairly rare occurrence.

Hey Pipette! They are indeed adorable and are nearly as large as they'll get--maybe another inch or so in length. And if this were earlier in the fall, I could release their furry little butts, as they've already begun "wilding up" quite nicely. They'll be totally unhandleable by spring, which is the way it should be.

This time of year, a week or so with no intakes isn't horribly unusual, but it's definitely a nice break!
