Death and dying...




Sorry, this pic is not for the faint of heart. But I saw this squirrel lying on the pavement when I drove up to the driveway this afternoon, and wanted to make sure it was dead and not sleeping...yeah, I know...

So, I was heartbroken to see him dead....but even worse was the blood trail. It tells me he was injured and alive as he ran around....and then he died.

I always hate seeing dead animals on the side of the road...I always have. I remember as a child I would imagine the souls of those dead animals becoming angels...or their souls migrating elsewhere.

Poor little squirrel. Sigh. I am sad that he did not get to see one more summer.....
