Mr. Tilty

Guilt goes a long way with me . . . just saying. We have a new visitor at the bird feeder. Actually, we have a lot of visitors. I think I am supplying the entire little neighborhood of squirrels food for the winter. But one little guy stands out. I have named this little black squirrel Mr. Tilty. Why? Well, he tilts. And holds his head weird. And sometimes falls over. And runs off to the side a bit. #1 was outside and looked closely at him and noticed that Mr. Tilty is blind in one eye. Poor little guy. And all the other squirrel boys and girls make fun on him and pick on him. So, I am putting seeds on the ground so the squirrels (especially Mr. Tilty) have easy access. And he does appreciate it. He comes early before any other squirrels and stays later. So, you may ask, just where does the guilt come into this picture? Mr. Tilty arrived at our bird feeder about 3 days after Cesar caught a little black squirrel for a split second before he got away and ran up the tree. Hmmmmm.
