Something's a little nutty here...




So today was very exciting and adrenalin pumping, we had, er have, squirrels that live in the ceiling above the kitchen. Well, one of the panels is really loose, and today when we got home after class the loose panel was laying on the floor of the kitchen.




So Lucy and I concluded that the squirrel was now loose in the house somewhere, about two minutes later Jess Mott comes down stairs exclaiming that she has rodent poop on her bed (she is now roommates with Abby). So Lucy and i get very excited and run upstairs examine the poop and run all around upstairs trying to find where the squirrel could have gone. With no luck we come back down stairs and proceed to Tell Matthew Howard and Mummert about the squirrel now in the house, when suddenly both Lucy and I see the squirrel just chillin' in the middle of the big room. I yelled "there he is!"
We all ran into the room, and shut the glass doors behind us to keep the little red squirrel contained, and opened the door to outside to provide and escape for the little critter. So Lucy and I, each armed with a broom run around trying to scare the little Squirrel, whom I found out to be one of the squirrels that Jess Mott and I had name Alfred.


He looks like this squirrel, but alas, this is not him

My is he quick little fellow! We got him close to the door once with out him going out, instead he ran right in front of the opening and across the other side of the room, farther away from the door. Then finally after managing to scare him closer to the doorway and from out behind the piano then the other fridge to finally the great outdoors. Alfred was so afraid that he jumped from the very top of the stairs down to the ground below, leaving a nice body imprint in the snow, and then bounded up into a nearby tree.
