Palm Sized Bittersweet

Right off I want you to know this little guy is blind. One eye is gone the other was permanently closed. I teared up when I realized it. It broke my heart- but please notice he is smiling. Okay? Still need a Kleenex? I did.

He was sleeping by the pool when I found him. When he woke he walked until he bumped the wall. A moment later he  found the water and had a few sips. Content, he continued along the wall, stopping to sniff an ant pile then disappearing into the shrubs. I haven't seen him since.
