Little Bat

No matter how old I get, things still can be surprising. I saw this little fur ball on the tiles near Shelly’s front door. I thought it might be a tiny mouse. But when I gently touched it with my foot it moved. It was a very small bat. I’ve never seen one this close before. It hissed at me probably in fear. Didn’t mean to scare it. Also I didn’t want to touch it as they carry rabies. So we left it there. Several hours later it was still there but when we went over at bedtime it was gone. I don’t think it fared well.
