Notes:   Feel realy horrible about not being able to save this little guy! Do not understand how he got caught by the garage door ! The door is set to close very slowly due to our kids , cat and dog ! Must have been a very painfull death . He was stuck there for about four hours till i found him. It has been raining alot .Do they seek cover from the weather ? Do i need to look out for the family? Thanks for a great page !!!
