Teenage Girl Diagnosed with Rabies
This happened recently to a 15 year old girl in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (about 60 miles north of where I live.) She was in her church and picked up a bat that was laying on the ground, and its tooth scratched her hand when she let it outside. She didn't think anything of it, but a few weeks later, she was diagnosed with rabies.
Anyway, congrats on (safely) getting it out of your house. The pictures are adorable, as well.
