He Returns.....

I saw my squirrel friend again today.  I have to name this little guy...

I was on a break, sitting in my car, which is where I usually see him.  However, this time he was right outside my driver's door.  I hung my head out the window and spoke to him softly.  He looked inquisitively at me and didn't run.  He looked away, then back at me as I continued to coo 'hello.'

Then, our brief encounter was over, as he proceeded to go back into the little hole he lives in.  What a joyful, peaceful moment!

I figured that was it for the day...not so...at lunchtime, he was there again.  I shared some of my donut with my furry friend...each time, dropping a piece closer and closer to where I was.  Tentatively inching toward the goodies, it afforded me an immediate glimpse of him.  I was able to talk a bit more and enjoy his company.

My love for animals knows no bounds.  They're so pure of heart and innocent.  They provide me with a sense of gratefulness...they 'right' my world even when I don't realize I need it.  That's a gift I will always treasure.

P.S.  Tomorrow, I'm bringing him some critter mix!  lol
