At this very moment, my children, led by the indefatigable Theresa, are saving a chipmunk from drowning in the pool.

Moments ago, they scooped the hapless creature out with a blue butterfly net. The poor exhausted thing was too frightened to linger when they lowered him onto the brick path. He flitted off like a streak of lightning, a wet and soggy (and no doubt grateful) streak of lightning.
Oh my, I am so glad to hear the little fellow made it! (You know how we just love chipmunks over here.) Great job, kids!
