A Child's Compassion for Nature

Impromptu nature study today as Draco crazed a chipmunk and dig a hole in my flower bed... . . The little dude never fully woke up, but he was given a loving shoebox home, eyedroppers of water, and seeds he never ate. Theodore was petted and observed for several hours and given a loving send off in a paper plate coffin and buried in the woods... . . The story of a city family transplanted to country life... We don’t kill animals unless they come from a store already dead. That makes us major Georgia weirdos. . . We now know that chipmunks have cute tiny yellow teeth like beavers, adorable ears, and little pads on their feet... and that you can’t hear their heart with Mom’s now sanitized stethoscope. . . Some people Chlorox their house from viruses. I need it for rodent disease... on my kitchen table, countertop, and children...
