Squirrel in The House
 

Somehow a squirrel got into the house. Our dog discovered it under our recliner console. I asked a neighbor to bring over her dogs. One got it cornered in the kitchen. The other dogs got in there and one caught it. He had the squirrel in his mouth. Squirrel fur was flying!! I was screaming and so was my neighbor. It somehow got loose and ran out of the house! Wow, I'm glad no one had a video camera on us!! lol

What an adventure, LOL! And we all wish you HAD videoed it!!

That's an adventure all right. It's good it got discovered because they can do a lot of damage. I can picture you and your neighbor and it sounds funny from here but I'm sure it wasn't when it's in front of you. Thank God it ran away. Sue

I think a video would be great fun. You could have become famous. LOL

Sounds like another version of the Mississippi Squirrel Revival!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16fG1sDagU

If any of the dogs have not had their rabies vaccination...

Are you sure that he didn't leave behind any of his buddies?

Be careful ... once they get in ... they often come right back!

Long story short ... I had one a few years ago ... tore open a screen in the window. It just takes a wee slit. I replaced it with animal proof screening. Though a couple of days later ... he found another window with the regular screening. I was lucky that I knew soon enough, and was able to get him out fast enough each time, without any damage! Whew!

We had that when I was a kid only it was a rat. Cat ended up chasing it up the xmas tree after going between my mom's legs. That was a sight to see and hear. lol.

Now thats something you dont hear everyday! Reminds me of a time when I had hole in my back screen door and I opened the fridge and a bird flies into my house right into my fridge. I was terrified of birds so I called animal control and they laughed at me and told me I had to get it myself. It was quite a day. My kids bring it up every chance they get!

wow, I was just watching a show last night about people whose house was infested with squirrels! You are lucky it was only one!!!

A good idea is to find out how it got in, do you have any vents that lead out? We seen what happens to a house when you have sterio`s vented to the outside, it even had a heavy duty screen nailed over it. The people were gone on vacation, and when they came home the house was a mess. That little imp chewed up all the window sills, torn down curtins, banged on the windows so hard it bled, and bled all over the house on carpets, drapes, sofas, chairs, cupboards. You cannot believe what that house looked like.

Wow, we had the same thing happen last week! We woke up to noises in the attic and knew instantly what it was...a squirrel. Called the critter people, he caught 3 squirrels and repaired a hole. It's hard to stay 'squirrel free' when our neighborhood is lined with tree's, neighbor won't trim back his hedges, and the kids next door love feeding them in our driveway. :eek:

Until next time...

rofl!!!! Sounds like a funniest home video winner to me!

That is priceless. Too bad they didn't have a camera. Americas Funniest would have loved to show that.:):):):)

Several years ago when my mother was alive she stopped by our house on a summer afternoon on her way home from the grocery store, left her car windows open. We were sitting in the backyard watching the kids in the pool when a neighbor hollered at us and wanted to know if the car in front of the house belonged to someone here. He said, "Well, you have a squirrel in here eating a banana!" Mom hustled out...it had not only eaten a banana but helped itself to some peaches and grapes as well.

Now I wish that I was there to see that.Not as bad as the 3 snakes I found in my bathroom while sitting on the toilet.No one was home but me. Great story to tell the kids.

The story was good, and the you-tube had me laughing! Good start to a snowy Saturday.

Reminds of the time when we had the family Thanksgiving dinner at our house, 21 people total, and my cat brought in a squirrel and it got loose! Wish we had a video of everyone chasing the poor thing until it finally ran out the back door and up my neighbor's oak tree. We could just imagine the tale it told to the other squirrels!

I had a pet squirrel, raised it from an unweened baby. It pretty much had the run of the house. I think the dogs thought it was some kind of midget dog, lol. It was brought to me by the game warden. They can be very tame when hand raised.

OMG! I can just picture this. You told the story so well LOL where was the camera when you needed it

Our daughter called about a month ago and there was a possum in the house. We now live about 4 hrs away, but she called her dad to see what to do. It got in thru a board in the bathroom that got pushed over. Anyway, she closed the bathroom and it went back where it came from. You need to listen to Ray Stevens singing the Mississippi Revival where a squirrel went beserk in the 1st self righteous church! It is hilarious! Hope this is it.
