OK Skippy, that's ENOUGH!

Earlier this summer I took this pic of a cute squirrel taking a nap on my fence. He does this everyday at around 1pm. I was amazed to find him there everyday and was so pleased when I finally snapped this shot of him one afternoon.

Well, Skippy, you aren't so cute anymore.

It's been an ongoing saga with this little rodent. And he's caused his fair share of annoyances and trouble.

One day shortly after we moved in here I found him climbing all in my stroller looking for cookie crumbs. So, I don't leave the stroller out anymore. A little inconvenient but, oh well...

Then, a little more than a week ago we found he's made a nest in the attic. It freaked me out a little that we had a squirrel in the attic but MIL got it taken care of right away. She's going to have to have the whole roof re-done b/c it's in bad shape and if she doesn't it won't be long before Skippy finds another way in. I'm sooo looking forward to having the roof ripped off and listening to the hammering and clomping on the roof...NOT!

Today, was the last straw for me. I finally got to do a big cleaning of the house. I took the mats from the side entrance outside to shake them and hung them over a little fence to air them out. A while later I went out to get them. I grabbed them both at the same time and I whipped them up not knowing that the f'ing squirrel was on one of them! So, as I grabbed the rugs I sent the damn thing flying right into the friggin HOUSE!

OMG! I started screaming for DH, who happens to be home this weekend - thank goodness. He came into the den just as Skippy was bouncing up the stairs and up the wall toward the kitchen. He said the squirrel looked at him and took off in the other direction...right out the door. It all happened very fast. I don't know what I would have done had DH not been in the house. I told DH he needs to off the squirrel...I'm only half kidding. I know DH won't do it though. It's not funny either that DH is teasing me for screaming like a girl as I watched a squirrel fly into the house - I am a girl after all!

So, to Skippy I say: GET LOST! SCRAM! TAKE A HIKE! BEAT IT!
