Life Lessons from a Squirrel: We have lots of squirrels - some are big, some are small, some have notches in their ear, some have red fur mixed with grey, or long whiskers, or really bushy tails. We even have this special little one who stands out from the rest. This little squirrel isn't slowed down because of his differences - he climbs and runs and plays and eats from our feeders just like all the others! A good lesson for us all - Just because someone is different doesn't mean they can't run with the big dogs - or in our case the little squirrels!
