the squirrel outside my door

I normally blog with hardly any purpose at all, other than to share the sunshiney kielbasa love. But sometimes everyday life is pre-empted by matters of more pressing concern.  This picture was actually taken almost exactly a year ago, but the timing of Baxter's fortuitous squirrely encounter clashed mightily with what was weighing heavily on my and everyone's mind at the time.  And so this picture patiently waited to be seen, as we so patiently waited last year for news of Joey and his recovery.

ooooh i remember dat squirrel. he stretched himself so flat on our sidewalk it was like he was a piece of paper!  do u think he might still be out there?  becuz if he wants 2 work for monkey chow milkshakes, i think the bears have a job for him at the circus!
