Fuzzy tail

I am unsure if he is dead or alive. I do know for certain his wish was to die! Suicidal is the only way to explain his actions of the morning.

I was a warm but bleak morning. The ground was still damp from the evenings rain. The sun was attempting to shine but had not mustered up the courage yet. I was driving to work singing aloud to a Mellencamp Song (Pink Houses) Thinking to myself, in 8 hours this day will be over. Little did I know my daily morning commute to work may have possible change the life of a vermin family forever!

I saw him before he saw me. He did a little jig on the side of the street and scurried half way back to the grassy area on the side of the road. I slowed down, and said aloud, WHEW little buddy that was close. Then, suddenly he made an abrupt turn, right into the path of my moving Subaru! NO!!! NO!!!. There was no where I could go! Couldn’t cut the wheel, was unable to slam on the brakes! I was afraid to look back. Not sure of what carnage I may see. I am still unsure if the fuzzy big tailed squirrel made it back to his wife and kids.

All that little guy had to do was stop me, hop in and tell me of his woes. I would have happily volunteered to help him search for acorns to feed the family. I definitely would have offered him and his kin a warm place to stay in one of the vacant offices in my building. Oh Why didn’t he just ask for help. Suicide is not the answer!!! I want to send an open apology to the fuzzy tailed family. I do hope I did not murder your dad or brother. If he is hurt and unable to afford to go to the hospital, please inform him I will be happy to cover any costs incurred. I do not know if vermin are covered under Obamas new plan.

So fuzzy family, if the unspeakable has penetrated your life, just know I am here for you. I do not want job loss, the high cost of living and food to impact another member of your little commune. When you see me driving past that little grass hill, raise your tails in unison, I will be looking. When I see you waving, I will stop. I will give you cash and take you wherever it is you desire. Please know, this was not my fault. If it wasn’t me it would have been another innocent motorist feeling the guilt at this moment! Help is only a tail wag away.
