Ewww!

So.....the other day Aubree ran to the backyard to grab something. When she returned to the front yard (we hang out in the front yard because there's more shade) she told me she saw a rat. Of course I didn't believe her but I asked her a few questions about it. Things like, was it a Ratatouille rat, did you look at it's eyes, did it have a tail.


I was trying to figure out if she really saw something. Our new neighbor, Brooke, was out with us too and I didn't want her to think we had rats so I was trying to brush off Aubree's comments. We don't want the neighbors to think we have rats.


A few days later I looked outside and this is what I saw! I know it's just a squirrel but it's hair was spiking and he had beady eyes and it just kinda sicked me out. (This is the best shot I got because I wasn't about to go out and have a photo shoot with the little guy. I really need to clean my window.)


I opened the door just a titch to see if it would run and where it would run. It ran under my back step. There's a little area that I think he thinks is his new home. Later the same day I went outside and the next thing I knew I heard some quick scurrying and the little rodent ran past me. That's when I realized I'm afraid I'm going to step on him with my bare feet or he will run over my feet YUCK!

Scott thinks I'm a little silly but I really don't want a squirrel living under my step. I tried calling Truly Nolan (the little bug car) but they told me they don't do anything with squirrels. He gave me some wildlife guy to call. I did and left a message but haven't heard back.

I haven't seen him today but maybe that's because yesterday we may have scared him with all the kids we had running around. If anyone has suggestions on getting rid of spiky haired squirrels please let me know.
