Happy Squirrel

I had just laid out hard-boiled egg and peanuts this morning for the Scrub Jays, when I turned around and saw that a squirrel had already jumped on the food, and scampered into the hedge. I reached into the hedge to touch the chewing squirrel, and I think he would have let me, he was so happy. Then, I'd be touching a squirrel. I didn't know what would come next, so I decided not to touch him, but hissed at him instead.
