On Thursday September 25, 2008 I was sitting in my bedroom when my father yelled “Michelle, there is a buddy of yours in the yard.” Immediately I knew that it was a squirrel. IM always feeding the cute little things. So I gathered up my crackers, peanuts, and the other foods that I am always feeding them. I went to go sit down the porch. Well, as I sit down I begin calling for him. He turns around and starts wagging his tail. So now I know he has my attention. Well, the little squirrel comes running across the road. As he starts to run across the road this friggin idiot comes speeding down our road. I know he is at least going 50 mph. He was going way to fast to begin with. Well, he hits this squirrel. My head bows as I am sitting on the porch. I begin to cry. It was an awful feeling. Its like he was just standing there a few seconds ago and now his little body is just so lifeless. I was really pissed. The fuckin prick just looked at me and gave me a nasty ass look. More and more as I think about it I get mad. So, I get pretty teary. It upsets me terribly. IM not sure why really. I guess because IM always like feeding them and they are like my little wild pets. I feed them every day. But anyway I have my dads girlfriend to help me dig a hole to put him in. I wasn’t going to leave him out in the road for sure. So I dig the hole, then I grab a bag so I can go put him in it. I go to pick him up and his tale falls off. I felt even worse. So I actually had to pick him up. He was a heavy little thing for sure. So after I got him in the bag I put him down in the hole and covered the hole up with dirt. If I wouldn’t had seen the whole thing unfold maybe it wouldn’t had hurt me as much. But I saw every thing. Some people say it is stupid to cry but like I said they are like my babies that I feed everyday. I felt like I was actually burying another hamster of mine all over again. I haven’t done that in over a few years or so. The lesson that I learned is that if the squirrels are across the street don’t call them over let them come themselves. If it wasn’t for me chuckling the baby would have never gotten hit. : (
