Hey, this is the animals / nature forum!
Today I was almost brought to tears by what I saw while driving down Highway 49.
A large semi-truck swerved into the next lane (no cars) in order to avoid hitting a squirrel.
Little things like that make my day.
It reminds me of another story that doesn't involve a trucker or a squirrel.
A few weeks ago I was at Petsmart and noticed some of the animals from The Humane Society were there in hopes of being adopted. But on that particular morning, all eyes of several cats and dogs were on someone walking down a petfood aisle. I followed their glance to see the adoption counselor from the Humane Society - walking down the petfood snack aisle - her arms were loaded with kitty treats and doggie treats.
These people make minimum wage, but she was spending a good $15 on treats for her friends.
I was so touched, the next week when I was at the Humane Society to have 3 cats spayed/neutered, and to adopt another dog - I paid a compliment to the manager regarding the employee I saw.
P.S - here is the cutie dog I adopted 2 weeks ago.
