Baby Joey
Written By Judie

               Before retiring for bed I always check my glider room to make sure all is
               well. When I opened the door I could hear my gliders chirpping away as
               they were still eating. I flipped on the light and as I surveyed the room all
               appeared to be fine. About to leave the room I stopped first to check on two
               families who just had little ones come oop. 2 days prior. When I checked
               on Snickers and YumYum they were snuggled in their pouch. I glanced at
               the food dishes and was horrified. Inside the dish was a new baby who
               had fallen into the small dish of the Leadbeaters. The little one was on its
               side and just laying there. As I picked the baby out it was moving but was
               cold. I quickly took her to the kitchen and rinsed her off with warm water
               and then dried her off with a towel. Oh, she was so cold. I returned her to
               the parents in their pouch and noticed Mom had Leadbeaters splattered
               on her face. She had apparently been trying to get the baby out but it was
               so slippery that her attempts had failed. If the dish of Leadbeaters had
               been just a teaspoonful more the little girl would have drowned. Her little
               nose was barely out of the mix and had I not checked to see all was well
               the baby would have eventually drowned or would have died from being
               too cold.

               Someone from above was watching over her. I wonder if it could have
               been my Lil Gremlin.
