I just Destroyed an Ecosystem

6. This whole thread is cute

All I have to offer is one day I'm working out in my garden next to one of those half keg planters that I had flowers in and suddenly felt something climbing up my leg inside my jeans. I felt bigger than a bug and scared me half to death. I rolled up my jeans and there was a baby squirrel maybe 2 weeks old. Really tiny and cute. The mom must have nested under the keg which I had on top of an d tree stump. Well. I put the baby back and started going to another part of the garden and wouldn't you know it, the baby followed me. This went on for quite a while, seems the baby adopted me. Well. I gave it a pea to eat and while it was eating ran into the house hoping it would go back under the stump and go to sleep. That whole summer that baby would be there following me around till I gave it something to nibble on. Funny the garden was right there it could have taken anything it wanted to eat.
