So I’m downstate for work and still have a week to go when during my morning breakfast I get a notice from one of my cameras at the home. Needless to say that the last thing you want is one of your video cameras capturing this:

I got ahold of my neighbor next door who was nice enough to head on over to see what he could find.  A return call indicated that he could see something was inside but could not find anything so he set a live trap.  I threw a few things together and started my four hour trip to see what was happening myself.  Six hours after the first notice I’m heading into the house and disappointed that the live trap is empty.  I’m hoping that he found his way back out.  Nothing more for the rest of the day so I went to bed sleeping with one eye open.  Next morning still nothing so I make breakfast.  The little critter must have been hungry cause as I’m eating at the island movement catches my eye and there he is looking up at me like I’m supposed to give him some of my food.  Had he been any bigger I would most likely been standing on the island instead of chasing him around the island.  Long story short I was able to get him go out the front door, that I had opened. Just a tiny baby squirrel that was no longer in the house!

I wasn’t able to finish my work downstate so it’s back down sometime in mid-November but I’ll be back in time for Thanksgiving and the traditional Christmas decorations.
