Our daughter loves animals. Any animal she sees she asks if we can adopt it. Doesn't matter if it is someone else's dog on the beach or a skunk living in the wild, she wants to adopt it. The other day we were sitting in out living room and out of the corner of my eye I saw this big brown fuzzy thing by the pool. I called my daughter out and she took a bunch of pictures and said she wanted to adopt it. Just then it ran into the area where the pool cover is stored and I told her that I think we just did adopt it if we wanted to or not. She was thrilled. A few days later the hubby was out working in the yard and found our new little adopted friend. Not 100% sure what happened but I think the guy who lives behind us puts out rat poison so that is my guess but we will never know. RIP little guy!
