With temperatures as much as twenty to thirty degrees below the statistical normal for this time of year, it looks like someone got caught unprepared in my neighborhood. I spotted this poor little guy huddled under a car, trying to keep warm. I don’t think this is Greg because he’s a little too plump for my recollection. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to have a little bit of sympathy for a cute, furry, shivering creature.

Naturally, one wishes we could cuddle, coddle, and provide for every little creature out there…at least the cute ones, anyway. Obviously that’s neither prudent nor even possible, and wild animals don’t really want to be cuddled anyway. But I’m reasonably sure this little fella will do just fine in the cold, especially once his fur thickens for the approaching winter.
