Since we have lived in our house we have seen tree frogs under the toilet seat, tree frogs in the curtains, ants in the bathroom, a bird in the house, insects galore, and now we have had a SQUIRREL in the house! Last night I finally stumbled in from New Orleans about 1am and got a few hours of sleep before waking up and feeding Dylan around 6:30am. While in his room I hear a pitter patter of little feet in the attic and tell Ben that he has to go get the bird that's flown in the attic. We go about our morning for about 30 minutes and then Dylan and I head into Dad's "mans room" to play while he does some computer work. Well we have little cubby hole that lead to the attic and Ben has left one open in case the "mystery creature" wants to come out on his own. All of a sudden I see a flash go by behind the couch and Dylan and I scramble out the door as fast as we can. I throw him in the crib for his AM nap and go back in to help Ben corral this squirrel out the window. After chasing the poor thing around the mans room (full of deer, bear, turkey, duck) the little squirrel was so petrified. So I tried my "squirrel whispering" technique and caught the little baby and put him out the window. He immediately suicided by jumping off the roof onto the pavement next to Ben's truck. Don't worry, he lived and ran off. Just when I thought we were safe Dylan and I go outside after lunch and Scout finds a baby Robin that has fallen from his nest. I try my hand at "bird whispering" and create a makeshift nest out of our fire pit. His nest is now in the B-ball goal and I'm praying that mama bird will feed the poor thing. I know it's just a matter of time before this baby bird also suicides out of the next onto the concrete. Any ideas?
