Geez...

I'm sorry I went into your purse and ate your chocolate. I'll buy you a new bag.

You didn't have to start a thread about it.

Cute pic, @mistriTsquirrel!

BTW, have you seen this one? LOL!

OP, so sorry about your rodent problem!

Muddling through...

@sabatini I'm not much of a material squirrel, but I do love that scarf and handbag.

We're in a rural area and even though we have seven cats, mice still come in my house occasionally. I know they're in the house because are camping the area where they're hiding. Dh caught one a week or so ago and put it outside. I caught one that the cats had pinned down but was still alive and put it outside but it didn't survive as dh found it out there later. It doesn't gross me out or anything. I do wonder what the heck these mice are thinking though.

@chiclet You win gross story of the week.I couldn't sleep at night wondering if they would get in my bed.You need a cat or two right away. Once when my DH and I went camping I heard scratching sounds in the tent.I woke him up to tell him and he said go to sleep it's just the wind....so I did.A few minutes later I awoke to him screaming that something ran across his face.I said in his same tone...go to sleep it's just the wind.Well we got out the falshlight and sure enough there was a mouse in the tent and later we heard others crawling around on our tent...they were looking to join us I am certain.Bought a cabin with friends after that.

Your stories remind me of my honeymoon in the Pocono's. We had a mouse in our cabin.I sat up all night watching it eat the cookies I had thrown ito the waste basket!

I worked for the Federal government in DC. Although everyone knows vermin are a problem there, I didn’t have any firsthand knowledge of them until a mouse ran across my foot while I was sitting at my desk meeting with a coworker. We both screamed and some of the men in the office ran over to see what was wrong (I can laugh about it now). It turned out that someone had left a bag of Hershey’s kisses in a nearby cubicle and the mice were going to town on them. Also, an executive in the office above mine was leaving plates of cookies open on a table in his office - again, mouse picnic. Seriously, what were they thinking??? The mice were using the pipes between floors to go from the cookies, through my office to the Hershey’s kisses. Anyway, Building Services put glue traps in my office to catch them. This was effective, but I had to watch the traps so they could remove the cadavers before they started to smell. I agree with those who recommended that you get a cat. They’re effective and they dispose of the remains.

Sounds like Mama June and Boo Boo stories

Loving the pictures of the squirrels. Reminds me of my rescues that have been released. However, I do have two pet flying squirrels that are in a huge cage in my house. They are wonderful, so much fun to watch and very social.
