Presenting The Elusive Karl

Karl appeared a couple years ago, malnourished, nervous and absolutely unwilling to let anyone touch him. As time passed, Karl graciously accepted the food given to him (three times a day) and he sleeps on the bedding set up for him (patio furniture in the summer and an insulated hut in the winter). Karl, however, will not, under any circumstance, let anyone touch him, nor will he come in the house. While we are now able to get closer to Karl then ever before, Karl will have nothing to do with the idea of being rubbed, squeezed or patted.
I suppose we should just be grateful that Karl allows us to feed him, provide shelter and clean up after him. Thank you Karl for indulging us!
