A Bear even the squirrels will love
I bought this gummy bear as a thank you gift to the neighborhood squirrels. Those dear critters have consistently given me a helping hand with my gardening. Every morning, they ensure every potted plant on my balcony is safely dug out of its original pot, and gently placed several feet away from the pot of origin. Not only that, but the very gracious critters also go the extra mile, and throw small pieces of dirt all across my balcony so I know their task is completed.
Being the gracious host I am, I decided to buy this lovely treat for them. I placed it strategically between two potted plants so my dear squirrel friends would not miss it. The next morning, I realized the entire gummy bear was gone. Thinking it must have fallen off my balcony, I walked downstairs to investigate. As I reached the last step, I heard some odd squeaky sounds coming from behind the bushes. I slowly walked to the bushes, and lo and behold I found my entire gang of hard workers rolling around on the ground. They had red pieces of what I guess was gummy bear, plastered about their furry little bodies.
I am not sure if the squeaky sounds were grunts of joy or agony, but I would like to assume they were quite happy. One of them even seemed to have turned into the shape of the gummy bear head. I am glad the little guys finally got some well deserved recognition. I have not seen them back lately, which must mean someone else has purchased an even bigger gummy bear for them ... and they have left me for greener grasses.
I will always miss my little friends, but I would like to thank the maker of this gummy bear for giving me some great moments with my friends. I am sure others will be just as appreciative as they were.
