Our friends have an outside door with a cat door from their pool area which is leads into a laundry area and then a bathroom. My friend heard a noise and sees a squirrel sitting on her dryer so the slams the adjoining door. Calls us in a panic as now there is havoc going on as the little bugger is trapped. Her son got there 1st and just walked outside and opened the door to the pool and the squirrel ran out...our friend, bless her heart said why didn't I think of that? We all laughed!!

So he goes in and starts poking around when suddenly he bolts. Eyes huge, stammering, "there's something in there!" Turns out it's a chipmunk! Uggh! The next hour was like a Laurel & Hardy skit. Tables overturned to block him from the resat of the office, cracker trail to try to lure him out, moved furniture and a broom. finally got him out only to find him sitting outside the closed door later. I sure hope he doesn't have a family somewhere in my office. New office rules; no open doors! Ever!

OMG that happened in my house! Somehow one got in the garage, and my then- 3 year old opened the basement door to see the "pet" chipmunk. I was wearing shorts, and the dang thing shot up the stairs and in between my legs with its long tail rubbing up my legs. We closed everything off, opened up the front door, and I stood on a chair yellingand pointing "There it is! There it is!" while my husband chased it with a broom. An aquantance who has since become a very close friend just happened to be walking up our sidewalk and thought we were nuts. After we finally got it out, it sat on the front porch and just stared at the door as if to say "Now what was all THAT about?" He stayed on that porch for a couple hours.
