Squirrels


Some of you may already know about the "creature" that has been living in my attic. It haunts me at night and during the day. It runs and scratches and chews and makes a lot of noise for such a little thing. For a while we thought it was a bird, then mice, and now (thanks to our animal control friend - Ryan) we know it was a squirrel. Last Sunday, we put a trap in the attic to try to catch this thing. On Friday, it finally did. After Ryan came to "take care of it" for me, we discovered that it is a big-mama squirrel and she also had babies in the attic! So far we have only seen one. Come to realize, it is as noisey as it's mama was. At 2:15a.m. and at 6:00 a.m. I thought I was going to have to crawl up there and strangle it with my bare hands. Then I calmed down and thought about that poor baby squirrel who doesn't know where his mama is. It made me sad. So we put another trap up there in hopes that we can reunite them and more importantly, get them out of my attic!! Check out how big the mama is... More to come on baby soon I hope!
