An adorable baby squirrel joined a pair of golfers for 16 holes at a course in Plymouth, Michigan, on May 13. Mike Gurny, one of the golfers, told Storyful he gave the squirrel "a second to see if it would run off" but it did not. "After a few moments I picked it up. As an animal person this is my nature," he said. "I set it back on the ground after giving it a few pets, and it followed me back to the cart." Gurny said he then picked the furry friend up again and set it on a towel where it was able to ride around with them in their cart. "The squirrel was comfortable to sit on my shoulder, hold in my hands, and even ride on my hat," he added. "After we completed the round, it was close to dark so I decided to take it home." He explained that he gave the squirrel fluids and nuts to hold it over until he could get it to a wildlife rehabilitation center called https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071457790538 Nature's Helping Hands in nearby Livonia. In the meantime, he said the animal was given a flea bath and put in a homemade enclosure. He added that his three-year-old daughter loved petting the squirrel, he referred to as "Chief". The following day he was able to hand Chief over to the rehabilitation center, which said in a https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid036NjA6Eh8i5oVPypNak7MrY5ojz3sSthhGowXZQDibJZmBAoFze884b38T11T12vvl&id=100071457790538 post it was "happy to rescue his foxie."

Mid of woman voting at booth STORYLINE With voting under way in Tuesday's critical Michigan primary, Mitt Romney said he's struggling with the conservative Republican voters backing rival Rick Santorum in the state because he's unwilling to make the "incendiary" comments he said they want. And, Romney acknowledged that his own mistakes aren't helping. Asked by reporters why he's struggling to win over his party's right wing in the state where he was born and raised, Romney said it's because he's not willing to say "outrageous things" like his opponents. "We've seen throughout the campaign that if you're willing to say really outrageous things that are really accusative and attacking of President Obama, you're going to jump up in the polls," Romney said. Fielding questions from the national travelling press corps for the first time in nearly three weeks, he said: "I'm not willing to light my hair on fire to try and get support. I am what I am." Romney also accused Santorum of trying to "kidnap the primary process" by urging Democrats to come to the polls in Michigan's open primary and vote against the former Massachusetts governor. Santorum's campaign is calling Democrats in Michigan, urging them to vote in Tuesday's GOP primary, which is open to members of other parties. The call urges them to vote against Romney because he opposed the government bailout of the auto industry. Both campaigns are waging all-out efforts to bring supporters to the polls because the race between Romney and Santorum in Michigan is neck-and-neck. Romney has acknowledged that a loss in the state where his father served as governor would be hugely embarrassing and could deal a strong blow to his campaign. The former Massachusetts governor spent the past five days campaigning hard in Michigan, selling himself as a native son steeped in the auto industry that has defined the state for decades. He has a strong lead in Arizona, which also votes Tuesday. Romney claimed Tuesday that he doesn't see his campaign organization as responsible for his setbacks - instead, he blamed himself. "I'm very pleased with the campaign, its organisation. The candidate sometimes makes some mistakes and so I'm trying to do better and work harder and make sure that we get our message across," Romney said. The candidate stopped by his Michigan campaign headquarters Tuesday in Livonia to thank supporters for their help. He shook hands with people working a phone bank on his behalf. In nearby Novi, voters cast their ballot in the primary at a local church, just one of the many precincts across the state. One woman said she voted for Romney because she felt he was the best Republican candidate to take on Obama in the general election.
