Coming home late one night in the 70’s I stopped at a fast food drive thru. I was on my motorcycle and had my Cairn Terrier with me. He jumped down and went behind the dumpster. When I called him he came back with a kitten in his mouth and very gently laid the kitten on my leg. Duke raised that kitten like it was his own. Cat thought he was a dog. Played fetch, rode the bike with us and even tried to bark. Animals are so wonderful!!!
Normally I would celebrate Louie’s big heart…but not today. He should have the dang thing: squirrels ain’t nothing but rats with bushy tails and good PR.
….and the unsung but well-loved hero, weary but un-bowed, turned his nose into the storm toward home, with the soft smile of a young squirrel to keep him warm. sniffsniff….

Louie may hate squirrels, but he’s a real softie when it comes to little children.

Louie’s mother raised him well. Despite all of the rude things you squirrels say about her.
