They camped out above my parents bedroom. Each night they would kick it into high gear. My dad said they were getting more lucky than he was! One night he could take it no longer, so they woke my baby sister and me up and he told us to 'Go into the bathroom and don't come out no matter what you hear!' He had to take out all the linens in the small closet and climb into the attic where he set a trap for the squirrels with an overturned Weber grill and a board. He trapped the squirrel and lashed it shut. Then he had to come down out of the attic through the little closet with the now pissed off and frantic squirrel trapped inside. He managed to do that (I have no idea how!) and then proceeded to the basement where he was going to drown it in the laundry tub (don't judge, it was the 70s!). Except that the water loosened the rope causing it to leave a gap and the squirrel escaped! Now we had a pissed off, wet squirrel running around our basement! I think that he somehow got it to run outside. This story made me think of that clattery night back in about 1973! Enjoy the day!

I know it wasn't funny at the time.

And, yes, I had a mental image of the Key Stone Kops chasing it out of your room (apologies to your DH).

My mom said that one of the houses we lived in when I was little had an opossum in the wall. She would hear him running up and down in there, and those guys are big! So glad he got it to head out the window!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034873586616492485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967426075821210744.post-47219363218956508182012-12-02T13:22:34.766-05:002012-12-02T13:22:34.766-05:00I don't have words really, I'm just shutte...I don't have words really, I'm just shuttering at the thought... hopefully sweet dreams from here on out.A Polymer Penchanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847553982464797411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967426075821210744.post-90346658552695159102012-12-02T10:17:06.961-05:002012-12-02T10:17:06.961-05:00Shannon...i'm laughing a little over this..how...Shannon...i'm laughing a little over this..however, i know it was disturbing to you ..but we had this happen a few times when we lived in Austin.. and i guess it's funny memory now..the squirrels torn the screen off the chimney and somehow got in that way..it was scary, we thought it might bite us while we were chasing it all over the house ..it left sooty paw prints everywhere and was the devil to get outside...the second time our dog got it before we came home and was soo proud of herself..fortunately it wasn't icky and chewed up ..just dead..we felt bad..but glad it didn't get on us while we were asleep..i'd have a heart attack if that happened...hopefully it won't try to get back inside.Spirited Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177223122928766532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967426075821210744.post-68430351601882760422012-12-02T09:34:43.251-05:002012-12-02T09:34:43.251-05:00Wow!

Very clever of your husband to help the squirrel get back outside!<br /><br />We have had squirrels in our attic (which we can't access) and had to patch an outside hole as well. My husband patched it in the middle of the day, hoping the squirrels were out at that time.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967426075821210744.post-42932705990356465372012-12-02T09:32:47.217-05:002012-12-02T09:32:47.217-05:00Oh Shannon,

I got a mental picture of your hubby trying to get the squirrel out of the room and had to laugh out load. This makes me think of an old song about a squirrel loose in a church.<br />Therese Therese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967426075821210744.post-34309265835294665222012-12-01T21:18:51.715-05:002012-12-01T21:18:51.715-05:00Yikes!!!!
