Baby squirrel cuteness
Did you see today's Daily Breeze story on the Coast & Canyon Wildlife Rehabilitation group?
Based in Malibu, Coast & Canyon founder Marcia Rybak now has a network of trained assistants throughout the South Bay. That's good news for those of you who wonder where to take an injured or abandoned baby opossum or squirrel.
There's a contact list on the group's website (scroll down for the South Bay people & phone numbers).
Meanwhile, enjoy watching this live video cam of three baby squirrels currently being cared for by the organization. But I'll warn you. It's addicting. (And I'm told that there will be audio added to tonight's 5 p.m. feeding.)
And about the coin .... A quarter was placed in the nest initially to give viewers a perspective on the size of the babies. Now, the wildlife group is getting coins sent to them from around the world so they'll be featuring some of those in the coming days. Tomorrow look for a coin and flag either from Ireland or Poland (today's U.S. flag is in honor of Presidents Day).

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
