Ground squirrel fell down our window well and couldn't get out. So i braved it and caught it and let it out. It had been there for three days but there were so many flying ants I couldn't get to it and I thought it was dead ? since it hadn't moved. Suddenly went to look in the well and he was running around. Duke(the dog) kept licking his lips but didn't get to it. Squirrel was released out in the field.
