Meet Popper

My hubby is a child and animal magnet. No mater how old or what species, they love him. So, when he told me this story I wasn't surprised that he met a new friend at work.

Every night when Lorne leaves the office, he'd see a squirrel going about his squirrel business, gathering nuts and such. They'd make eye contact, the squirrel would freeze to prevent from being noticed, and Lorne would say hello.

This went on for a while, and Lorne looked forward to seeing his little buddy when he'd head for home. On one particular evening, Popper came down his tree and stood on the dirt to say their evening goodbyes. Out of the blue, Popper began chattering up a storm, doing back flips, and bouncing straight up in the air. Lorne wondered what on earth could have made the little creature so upset. Then, he noticed the Fire-Ant hill Popper stood on when he came down to say hello.
