How to befreind a Dead Squirrel

Meeting Joey

Joey was like any other squirrel. He was living and loved his nuts. I mean I would climb his favorite tree and wait for him. We would play random games like hide'n'seek. Well one day I saw him lying out in the road. Not thinking or looking for cars I ran out into the street." Joey!" I croaked. I picked up his small, lifeless body. I ran with him in my hands and went inside. I tried giving him CPR but he didn't come back. I knew he was gone.

         * Flash back of when I met Joey*

I was playing in my yard when I saw him. He wasn't like any squirrel I've seen. He was blind in one eye and his tail wasn't nearly as long as other squirrel's tails were. I immediately asked him to be my friend because he was special. He said he would love to be my friend and that was that. I taught him some stuff a human child did. For example, I taught him how to play tag, hide'n'seek, red rover, duck duck goose, and other childish games. He taught me ways of a squirrel. We were constantly hanging out in trees or on the ground. Sometimes we would crawl to the park. I liked pushing him on the baby swings. Joey enjoyed it as well. Joey always loved his nuts. Sometimes I snuck him into my room( parents hate squirrels) to play.

My eyes fill with tears as I face that my best friend is gone. I guess we could still be friends even though his sole inst there. I stuck him in my bedroom frezzer to preserve his body.
