Baby Squirrel: The Invasion

Last October we had an intersting event here at the house. Well Friday night while watching the remake of the remake of the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1,2,3,4). Joani and I both thought it ironic that Nichole Kidman was cast as one of the last people who were still human, being that she seems imotionally void in most of her films.

So about halfway through the movie (which really isn’t terrible) a small dark shape jumps up on the arm of my chair. It did not quite register other than to draw my attention a little, then it flicked it’s tail. Scared the crap out of me at that point. I jumped out of my chair and it surried away and hid in the same place the last one did.  To keep the story short, I basically used the same method to catch him. Small, clear rubbermaid tub and peanut butter. When the squirrel got in the tub to get the goodies, I slid the lid shut and took him outside.

Next year about this time, I’ll get pictures when the next generation sends in the little guy who gets the extra exploration gene.
