You found him in your kitchen? Cool! If you handle him alot while he's growing, he'll probably become a cool pet.

I tried to let him go free on Sunday, I checked on him a few times just to make sure he was ok , the last time I went to check on him ,I couldnt find him so I figured he went to start his little squirrel life . later on when I went to do my evening chores ( put chickens to bed , close up the umbrella over the picnic table ) as I was closeing the umbrella I heard a rustling in the leaves , thinking I had missed a chicken I looked and there at my dogs feet was the little guy , running all over the dog lol he didnt know what was going on ( the dog ) so I put my hand down and he ( squirrel ) ran right over to me. guess he didnt want to start his wild life just yet lol

Oh Hey Biker.. I almost forgot.. I was trying to find out the exact type of garnet it is.. that is if that's what it is.. lol... I'm not even for sure.. But ever heard of a Arizona Ruby? Or Pyrope Garnet? me either.. but I'm guessing if it's a garnet. then maybe that's the kind?
Anyways .. cool pic of Wolf and his Pet? lol..

It is a pyrope garnet, we have several of them that we got in the 12,000 of rock we just purchased. Really nice cab Randy.
Funny Roxy, Jamizzle, people are going to wonder how you came up with that name.

That's a beaut! I'm not sure this is the proper site for a pic of squirrels fornicating though. ;D

I'm sorry, I lied. I just went outside to test one of the specimens we have and its not a garnet, its some type of pseudo-morph. It is mostly pyrite, thats why its so soft and also that explains the smell. Did it turn your hands black? Or was it a dirty cab to cut?

Now she tells me... lol.. well still don't know why it's a dark red.. oh well.. still at least now I know too.. Oh and Fornicating ? Not even sure I know what that means .. lol jks.. But the thought was rather interesting.. l ;D.. But I'm sure if you look again.. you'd see it was but a innocent back rub.. unless I'm the one missing something.. wouldn't be the first time.. lol.. ;D
