Animal Escapades

At any given time, in my pocket you may find: peanuts, alfalfa, dehydrated meal worms or maybe even a chipmunk. I can’t bear the thought of a critter running up to me for a snack and being empty handed and disappointing them. I’m a disaster when it comes to animals. I seriously want to save them all.
