Melvin befriended raccoons and skunks. A ringtail cat and a fox! A snake.(we were so afraid). Melvin sat with the snake in the grass and yawned! He loved chipmunks. (and squirrels, and pikas) He loved watching deer. He sang "chirped" to fireflies. He climbed all kinds of trees, and you should have seen his face as he looked up a redwood! He took us on many hikes, along rivers, beaches, deserts, mountains, canyons. He brought a live mouse to play with into the camper at night. He would tap our heads with his paw to wake us up, or he would bite our toes! Boy did that get us up!
